Not only has Clearwater Beach been voted America’s favorite beach, but the Tampa Bay area is considered by many as America’s boating capital!
The Clearwater, Tarpon Springs, and St. Petersburg areas offer some of the very best places to boat. With our calm waters and excellent weather, we can offer you an ideal environment for day charters and sunset cruises alike.
Captain Jeff’s list of top boating destinations can help you plan your trip. Plus, when you book a tour with us, we’ll always work with you to build a route that’s specific to your budget, time-frame and make sure that we include any sightseeing spots or waterside attractions where you would like to stop.
Caladesi & Honeymoon Island
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.
When looking skyward, eagles, osprey and great horned owls can be seen, while ground animals include gopher tortoises, raccoons and armadillos.
A trip to the Nature Center helps visitors learn about the park’s history and natural resources. Before Europeans arrived in the Americas, Native Americans of the Tocobaga tribe inhabited the island. These people harvested the abundant sea life from the surrounding waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Swimming, fishing, shelling, hiking and bicycling are all popular activities that make Honeymoon Island State Park an ideal getaway.
Round-trip, we suggest booking a 4-6 hour powerboat charter to allow you and your guests enough time for travel, excursion of the island, swimming, or picnicking on the beach or aboard the boat.
Three Rooker & Anclote Key State Park
Located three miles off the coast of Tarpon Springs, the park is accessible only by private boat or ferry service.
Enjoy the blue-green Gulf of Mexico waters that lap gently along the sandy beaches of the four islands that make up Anclote Key Preserve State Park – Anclote Key, North Anclote Bar, South Anclote Bar and Three Rooker Island. The 11,773-acre park is home to at least 43 species of birds, including the American oystercatcher, bald eagle and piping plover.
A picturesque 1887 lighthouse stands as a sentinel on the southern end of the island.
Because of the abundant sea grass beds, the waters around Anclote Key are some of the most pristine in the area.
Egmont Key
Situated in the mouth of Tampa Bay, Egmont Key National Wildlife Refuge is a great place to visit. It is home to gopher tortoises, several bird species, and remnants from the Spanish-American war, gun batteries, and a still-working lighthouse dating from the mid-1800s. The water surrounding Egmont Key is some of the clearest on Florida’s West Coast and is perfect for snorkeling, swimming and laying out on our floating mat.
Accessible only by boat, a day trip to Egmont offers a unique opportunity to tour the historic sites and take in the natural wilderness that makes Egmont such a great place to visit.
Round-trip, we suggest booking a 6-hour powerboat charter to allow you and your guests enough time for travel, excursion of the island, swimming, or picnicking on the beach or aboard the boat.
