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 offered our group an unforgettable experience for the afternoon; the ride was smooth across the waves, the sights were numerous with ample time and explanations. We got to see 2 dolphins jump out of the water, playing in the waves and followed a manatee swimming lazily near the dock. There was enough time to enjoy swimming near the sandbar and later on in the ocean, near a secret beach. That was wild and unique. We all felt as part of Justin s family, very comfortable and safe in his navigation skills. Kept his number on speed dial for we ll return for more trips. Thank you so much Justin! Anca

Great tour provided by Captain Justin with a lot of knowledge, fun and attention to his passengers! also a fantastic wind lost hat rescuer too! :) Me, my husband and our friend had a lot fun and we're enthusiastic every minute of this tour! We saw the beauty of Sarasota along the intercoastal waters, enjoyed the company of couple of dolphins and even manatees by the end of the tour! Highly recommending this tour and captain Justin!
