Overview

This half-day private boating tour in Clearwater takes place on the Platinum Funship, a 27-foot double-decker boat with a slide, designed for groups of up to 10 people. The trip lasts about four hours and is led by a professional captain. It begins with a safety briefing before departing from a designated meeting point near Clearwater Beach. The boat travels north along the waterways to several barrier islands, including Caladesi Island State Park, Honeymoon Island State Park, and Three Rooker Sand Bar. Along the way, guests have the chance to see wild dolphins and other wildlife such as manatees, sea turtles, rays, ospreys, and native birds. Stops at the islands allow guests to swim, snorkel, shell, and explore the beaches and trails. Caladesi Island is known for its natural, untouched environment and is accessible only by boat. Honeymoon Island offers over four miles of beach and a three-mile trail through a slash pine forest. Three Rooker Sand Bar is a small, semicircular island that has formed recently and is now vegetated and stable. The boat also anchors at sand bars for additional swimming and relaxing. The tour includes a cooler stocked with ice and bottled water, Big Joe water floats, mesh shell bags, life jackets, safety equipment, fuel, and local taxes. Pickup and drop-off occur at the designated meeting point. This private charter is suitable for a variety of occasions such as family outings, celebrations, or quiet getaways.
