What To Expect
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.
Caladesi Island State Park
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.

5.00We got this boat adventure for a friend's bachelorette. Captain Matt remembered everyone's names. He was attentive to our future bride's needs and was a great photographer. We appreciated his good attitude and his ability to give us info about houses on the water, take us to cool islands, and accommodate sea shell collecting!
Thank You, Captain Matt!

5.00Such a great, relaxing experience. All of it thanks to Captain Matt. We got to see dolphins up close, manatees, lots of bird wildlife, amazing shells, and a great tour of the coastal properties. Captain Matt is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and will accommodate whatever kind of experience you want to have!
Great Capt!

5.00We had the greatest time with CAPTAIN MATT!!! First he took our bridal party over to the side to see a beautiful pod of manatees!!! Next he searched for dolphins looking to play, my entire life in Florida and I have NEVER seen dolphins jump over waves while on a boat!!! It was such a gorgeous moment for our bride who is literally a mermaid at heart.🩷 The slide was so much fun, a great addition to our experience. We got to the island and got to listen to our jams, jump in the water and sunbathe on the top deck!! We had so many questions about the island and the comb jellyfish in the water and he was so informative which is why I know they are called comb jellyfish:). He was the kindest person and we got to inform him on our favorite musicals like Hamilton and wicked, (reminder he has to watch them!!!asap). We are so grateful for such a wonderful Bach boat experience thanks to him🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
We came for my bachelorette and there’s no one more better to trust with this experience than Matt!
