Our private boat tours are perfect for family outings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, bachelor(ette) parties, marriage proposals, romantic getaways, reunions, spreading ashes, or any other reason!
Out at sunset: the 6:00 PM departure is under way when the sun sets, around 6:52 PM in the coming weeks.

Your BOAT DAY starts with a safety briefing, then it's time to cast off! Your trip will typically take you north of Clearwater Beach to our beautiful barrier islands including Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island and Three Rooker Sand Bar. Along the way it is very likely that we will see dolphins. We may also see manatees, sea turtles, rays, Ospreys, native birds or other local wildlife. As your BOAT DAY continues, it is common for guests to get off the boat and go swimming and snorkeling, or shelling and exploring on our beautiful islands. Afternoon and evening tours can include watching the sun set from the boat, over the Gulf of Mexico. All guests will enjoy a cooler with complimentary bottled water, Big Joe water floats and mesh shell bags.
One of the few untouched islands along the Gulf Coast, Caladesi Island State Park is accessible only by boat, but is worth the extra effort.
One of Florida’s best-loved state parks, Honeymoon Island has more than four miles of beach to explore along with a three-mile trail through one of the last remaining virgin slash pine forests.
Three-Rooker Baris a small, semicircular island that has emerged within the last decade. The fact that sand has been accumulating at this location while erosion has occurred at other locations demonstrates the complexity of the coastal processes at work on the West-Central Florida coast. As the island emerged, it quickly became vegetated, increasing its stability.
Laid-back Clearwater Beach is known for its namesake stretch of soft, white sand, which draws visitors year-round for jet-skiing, parasailing, and stand-up paddle boarding in its calm waters.

Unforgettable experience! Captain BJ was an absolute dream and I highly recommend. From start to finish BJ made sure that my son and I had a day that we will cherish forever! She listened to what we wanted, she offered suggestions based on her vast experience and our wants and ensured that our experience was everything we wanted and so much more. We truly felt as if we were spending our day with an old friend. She guided us to secluded areas that were magical in their beauty, we saw manatees and dolphins up close, explored various sandbars found amazing treasures and learned so much. We will 100% rebook. I can’t thank our captain enough for the huge roll she played in our Mama and son vacation being an absolute dream come true! 🫶 the sea witch & captain booty hunter aka Caleb
