Based in Clearwater, Florida
Explore Clearwater Beach From the Water
Clearwater Beach is famous for its sugar-white sand — but the best of it is only reachable by boat. On a private charter, you'll cruise Clearwater Harbor and the Intracoastal Waterway, slip past the sandbars where locals anchor for the afternoon, and ride the Gulf waters beside Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island. Swim off a sandbar, shell a quiet stretch of shore, watch for dolphins in the wake, or time your trip for a famous Gulf Coast sunset — with a licensed local captain who knows where the water is clear, where the shells wash up, and where the crowds aren't.
Visitors travel from around the world for Clearwater's barrier islands and calm, shallow waters, and a private boat charter is the most personal way to experience them. Based in Clearwater, Florida, we welcome guests from across Tampa Bay and St. Pete Beach — and travelers from anywhere chasing a perfect Florida boat day.
