What To Expect

Sarasota

We will depart from the Marina in Sarasota and travel out into the intracoastal waterway!

Casey Key

As we make our way out the intracoastal we will head south towards Venice! Our first sight will be Historic Spanish Point! A home to early Florida settlers and a historically important archaeological site! Immediately following we will pass under the Casey Key Swing Bridge, one of only 83 still in operation in the US!

Venice

As we continue on our way south the color of the water begins to transform from brown brackish water to a clear aquamarine tropical paradise. This is largely due to the flow of fresh water coming in from Venice Inlet! Keep your eyes open for Dolphin! As we arrive in Venice Inlet we will pass many great tikis! We can stop for a bite or a cocktail or head to snake island for some shelling! We can always hit the tiki on the way back so no rush! Lets go shelling!

Nokomis

After shelling and a splash let’s stop for a quick bite or pick up something to go! Pop’s Subset grill is a great spot! Not hungry? Let’s head north and look for Dolphins! We can always stop at Casey Key Fish house by the swing bridge!

Siesta Key

As we get back to Sarasota and Siesta Key we will checkout the mangroves and beautiful homes as we make our way back to port! What a blast!

We could not ask for more. Justin was awesome, personable, and cared about the time we were having, always checking in on us to see if we were having a good time or needed anything. The boat was VERY clean. We will 100% book with him again in the future. You will not be disappointed when you book!! 5+ Stars!

We just moved to Siesta Key and wanted to take our 1st boat tour to see dolphins, go swimming and get a feel for the coastal highlights. Justin was the perfect pick! He made sure that he got a great sense of what we wanted our perfect day to be like for all of us. He was always making sure we were comfortable, safe and happy. He was very entertaining as well sharing stories of Florida and homes and history. He has a great knowledge of the wildlife and made this day unforgettable. We are definitely going to book again as well as refer our friends. The boat was comfortable, clean, and the perfect size. Highly recommend!

Great way to enjoy the view. Captain Justin is easy going and checks what you want to see. Enjoyed a relaxing day on the water with a few stops and amazing views, including dolphin. Would highly recommend.
