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!

Captain Justin was awesome. Spent 4 hours cruising around seeing beautiful sites and learning some history of the area. Visited two beaches and found great shells while the kids swam. Captain Justin listened to what each of us wanted to experience and made it happen. Loved this trip and look forward to doing it again.

Our charter with Justin topped our trip. It was so nice to get in the water and also learn so much about the Key and Sarasota. During our charter we stopped for a swim and enjoyed lunch at O'Leary's. Would 100% recommend and plan on reaching out to captain Justin again!

Capt. Justin is first class! We booked a trip in August, but were unable to go due to weather. However, Justin gave us great recommendations to do instead. I had difficulty getting a refund from Expedia for the trip, no fault of Justin at all, but Justin went above and beyond to help me get my refund. It took 6+ weeks and many hours on the phone, but Justin was attentive and able to help all along the way. He is truly an awesome guy. Next time my family is in Siesta Key, we will be booking with Justin again and I know it will be an awesome experience because that's the type of guy he is. Five Stars!!
