A Boat Day
Take control of your Clearwater adventure with Avalon Funship Boat’s private tours. Swim, snorkel, and watch wild dolphins on a customized Gulf Coast trip.
A Boat Day provides private boat charters operating in the Clearwater area and nearby beaches. The company offers a fleet of private vessels — including Buccaneer Funship, Platinum Funship, Avalon Funship, Tahoe Funship, Hurricane Deck Boat (Black), and a Four Winns premium deckboat — for customized half-day boating experiences. Trips are guided by a Captain who navigates to local highlights such as wild dolphin viewing, secluded barrier islands for shelling, and calm Gulf waters for swimming and snorkeling. Charters accommodate small groups and focus on family-friendly activities, special occasions, and intimate gatherings.
Private half-day charters commonly use a 27-foot double-decker Funship with a slide and can host up to 10 passengers, providing comfortable seating and an informal, social layout. Sample itineraries listed include departures from Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, and Indian Rocks Beach. A Boat Day emphasizes personalized itineraries and on-water safety by providing a licensed Captain to guide each excursion. The operator advertises suitability for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, bachelorette parties, marriage proposals, reunions, romantic getaways, spreading ashes, and other private celebrations. By offering multiple boat models and flexible routes, A Boat Day presents a clear option for travelers seeking customized private boating, dolphin encounters, and quiet beach access without booking a large commercial tour.
Trips commonly include swimming, snorkeling, sunset cruises, and beachcombing; captains provide local knowledge about wildlife and safe anchorages. The fleet's variety—from deckboats to Funships—allows selection of the vessel that best fits group size and activity preferences, maintaining a private and relaxed on-water experience and memorable moments.
