A Boat Day offers private, customized boat charters for small groups of up to 8 passengers. Sit back and relax on the very comfortable, 25 foot double-decker Tahoe Funship with a slide, as you cruise the waterways with a Captain as your guide. Your boating adventure will get you up close to wild dolphins and take you to secluded barrier islands so you can go shelling on pristine beaches or swim in the Gulf of Mexico. 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!

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.
Admission included30 min
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.
30 min
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.
120 min
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.
50 min
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.

Excellent boat day
We had a wonderful boat day with Captain Eric. The weather forecast was a little unfavorable but he did a great job dodging the weather and finding us a great place to hang out for the morning. Second time we have booked with this company and have enjoyed both trips. Highly recommended.

Boating the Bay
Our group of 7 had an absolutely fantastic time with Captain Ed. From start to finish, he made the trip enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable. He took us to several beautiful spots throughout the bay including Honeymooner's island for seashells, Caladesi State Park for a beautiful beach experience and even managed to get dolphins playing in the wake behind the boat, which was pretty awesome to see up close!
Captain Ed was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was having a great time. Great music selection too.
He even recommended Bon Appétit in Dunedin for dinner, and it turned out to be an excellent choice with great food and a beautiful waterfront atmosphere.
This was truly one of the highlights of our time in the Clearwater Beach area. We couldn't have asked for a better day on the water and would highly recommend Captain Ed to anyone looking for a fun, unique, and unforgettable boating experience. We'll definitely book with him again when we're back!

Perfect experience!
Captain Steve and Captain Michael were so awesome!!! We went for my bachelorette trip and they were so kind and accommodating to all of us. One of us lost our sunglasses going down the slide and Captain Michael even had googles on helping us look for them at the bottom of the ocean! 10/10 would recommend to anyone! :)
