Low Tide Tours operates private boat charters along Florida’s Gulf Coast, based in Panama City Beach and serving nearby coastal destinations including Sarasota, Siesta Key, Venice, Anna Maria Island and Bradenton Beach. The company specializes in private daytime and sunset cruises for small groups and families, offering a range of trip options such as 4.5‑hour “Make It Double” cruises and shorter two‑hour private charters. Most charters accommodate groups up to 12 passengers, while select vessels carry up to 18 passengers, making these cruises suitable for intimate gatherings and larger groups alike.
Guests may bring their own food and beverages; coolers and ice are provided on board for convenient refreshment. Experiences emphasize scenic photography, wildlife viewing including dolphin searches, and optional stops like a swim at Snake Island Sandbar where offered. Several itineraries encourage customization with local stops or eco‑focused exploration, and some private charters allow guests to request a preferred captain when available.
Booking a private charter guarantees exclusive use of the vessel for the selected group, with flexible departure windows for daytime leisure cruises or colorful Gulf Coast sunsets. Practical trip details such as passenger limits, onboard cooler availability, and recommended items to bring are described to help guests plan comfortable, memorable outings on the water along Florida’s coastal waters. Trip descriptions specify durations and group sizes, and the booking information helps guests plan outings for sightseeing, special events, or relaxation on the Gulf Coast waters. Coolers are provided and many trips allow bringing food and drinks onboard too.
