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!

Our trip with Captain Justin was the highlight of our trip to Sarasota. Captain Justin was so friendly and accommodating, it was like spending the day with a friend. We loved the sand bar he took us to and he allowed us to adjust our itinerary to spend extra time enjoying it. He went out of his way to ensure that we enjoyed our time and that we saw dolphins and manatees. I would absolutely book this trip again, however I would book for a full day instead of a half day.

We spent a half day on the water with Captain Justin and have to say it was well worth it! Captain Justin made sure we had the best experience possible. We were able to swim and float around at the sand bar, what a relaxing experience. We saw manatee and got an up close view of dolphins as they played in the wake of our boat. Captain Justin took the extra time to make sure we had enough time to see the dolphins, going out of his way to find them. We stopped at a tiki bar and had an excellent lunch. The time we spent on the boat seeing the sights and having Justin as out tour guide was definitely one of the highlights of our time here on Siesta Key!

My family and I had a wonderful tour with Captain Justin! The highlight was the many dolphins we got to see playing close to the boat. Even with the Red Tide conditions, Justin made sure we had an enjoyable experience. 😉
