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 all had a great time on the boat. Captain Justin was very knowledgeable and friendly. We will definitely book with him again.

Took the wife and kids (5 and 3) for a half day tour with Siesta Key Boat Charters. Met with Captain Justin at Turtle beach. He was easy to find and the boat was gorgeous, looked brand new. Snacks and water were available, which was nice. Headed off to Venice inlet looking for dolphin and found some almost immediately. We cruised down looking at the houses and enjoying the weather. Headed back and had the option to stop at a restaurant on the water, but opted for a picnic instead. We ate on the beach at midnight pass and let the boys play in the water. After about an hour we headed back to the dock. Overall, was a great experience. Captain Justin was very knowledgeable on the area and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend to others and will be using his services again.
