Clearwater: 3-Hour Private Chartered BYOB Boat Tour
Many beaches, sandbars, islands, and backwater coves along Florida’s Gulf Coast are only reachable by boat—but some operators try to pack in as many travelers as possible, making a cruise feel more like a spin in a cramped elevator. Treat yourself to a deluxe experience on this private, chartered boat ride, whether that's swimming, picnicking, spotting bottlenose dolphins, or simply relaxing on deck to your own music—Bluetooth included.
Highlights
- ✓Private tours ensure a personalized experience for groups of up to six passengers
- ✓BYOB: Ice and cooler included, so bring your own snacks and beer, wine, and canned drinks
- ✓U.S. Coast Guard-licensed captain—Captain Clearwater—ensures you ride safely
- ✓Flexible pickup points from ports in Clearwater, Belleair Bluffs, and Indian Rocks Beach
What you'll see & do
- ✓North Honeymoon Island Cruise north past Dunedin and drop anchor near the quiet tip of Honeymoon Island, a peaceful stretch of sand where you can wade, swim, or look for shells away from the crowds. This protected area is known for its calm waters and frequent dolphin sightings. (All charters are customizable and times are approximate.)
- ✓Caladesi Island State Park Accessible only by boat, Caladesi Island is one of Florida’s most beautiful barrier islands. Step ashore to walk its soft white beaches or float just off the shoreline. Captain Chris will share stories of local history and the marine life that makes this area so unique. (All charters are customizable and times are approximate.)
- ✓Clearwater Beach (Pass By) Cruise south along the Clearwater Beach coastline for panoramic views of the white-sand shoreline and the skyline from the water. If the seas are right, we’ll head briefly into the Gulf to pass Clearwater Beach by way of open water — a view most visitors never get to see. One Tree Island (Stop) Anchor off this small locals-only island for a laid-back swim or floating break. Toss out the floats, relax with your favorite drink, and enjoy the easygoing “Boat Like a Local” vibe that makes this stop a Captain Clearwater favorite. (All charters are customizable and times are approximate.)
