Clearwater Beach reveals a different rhythm when seen from the deck of a private pontoon boat. As you slip away from the shore, the Gulf’s gentle waves beckon, carrying you toward barrier islands that push back the crowds and invite exploration. The air carries a briny scent, while dolphins occasionally breach nearby, their curious eyes tracking your slow glide through turquoise waters.

Adventure Tips

Bring water-resistant footwear

Decks can be wet and sandy—footwear that dries quickly ensures comfort throughout the tour.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Protect fragile marine ecosystems and your skin from sun exposure during the open-water tour.

Stay hydrated and bring snacks

Though ice and a cooler are provided, carry water bottles to stay refreshed during the 4-hour tour.

Arrive early for parking

Dock space and parking near the launch point fill quickly; plan to arrive 15 minutes before departure.
