Dolphin Cruises & Private Charters by Fun Boat Tours Sarasota

Along Florida's sun-soaked Gulf Coast, Sarasota stands out as a gateway to some of the most laid-back yet exhilarating marine adventures the region offers. Fun Boat Tours operates here with a lineup of boat charters and dolphin cruises that make the most of Sarasota’s coastal treasures including Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island. Their fleet includes everything from lively Beach Cat catamarans and sleek FunBoats to private charters catering to intimate groups or family outings.

One of the signature experiences is the Sandbar Adventure Tour, which transports guests to shimmering shallow waters where the Gulf is dotted with pristine sandbars, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, or snorkeling around schools of fish and rays. For wildlife lovers, the Dolphin & Donuts and Dolphins & Drinks cruises add playful social elements to these marine excursions, combining beverages and treats with expert narration on dolphin behavior and local ecology. Expect to spot bottlenose dolphins weaving through the boat’s wake, alongside occasional stingrays and coastal birds.

Sunset Dolphin Cruises departing from Siesta Key or Anna Maria Island capture the magic hour on the water, when the sky’s colors deepen and the marine activity takes on an even more vibrant energy. Captains and their knowledgeable mates bring a friendly, flexible approach, tailoring each trip to the group’s mood and interests—as praised repeatedly in glowing reviews—making every voyage feel personalized and effortless.

Beyond the decks, Fun Boat Tours enhances the experience with water toys, well-curated playlists, and a focus on safety, especially in waters busy with jet skis and other pleasure craft. The company’s presence strengthens the vibrant water recreation scene in Sarasota, offering a standout mix of relaxation, wildlife watching, and family-friendly fun set amidst one of Florida’s most beloved coastal communities.
