Clearwater Beach unfolds like a living postcard as you step aboard the 27-foot double-decker Platinum Funship, ready for a private half-day cruise that threads the waters north of the city. The boat’s slide invites a playful splash, but it’s the sweeping views and intimate proximity to wildlife that command your attention.
