Tidal Watersports is a Delray Beach, Florida watersports provider offering private boat experiences tailored to small groups and families.
The company runs a series of timed trips — One Hour Watersports, 90 Minute Watersports, Two Hour Watersports, Three Hour Watersports, and a 4 hour Lake or Intracoastal Cruise — each led by a licensed captain. Trips focus on fun and safety, with all necessary equipment included and on-board lessons provided for activities like tubing and the newer sport of zupping.
Most outings seat up to eight people, making them suitable for friends and family looking for a private, guided day on the water. Boats are equipped with a premium sound system so guests can play their own music, and captains handle navigation and safety while guests enjoy the rides and on-water activities.
The Three Hour Watersports "Premiere Package" combines two hours of active water sports with a relaxed one-hour cruise on Lake Ida featuring local scenery and wildlife. The 4 hour Lake or Intracoastal Cruise focuses on leisurely exploration, anchored swims, lily pad floats, and picnic-style relaxation with Bluetooth music and a beach stop.
Tidal Watersports emphasizes clear, factual inclusions: licensed captains, private charters, included equipment, and on-board guidance. The business operates from Delray Beach and designs experiences that balance thrilling activities with safe, managed outings for small groups seeking memorable time on Florida waterways. Guests are encouraged to bring towels and a playlist for the boat's premium sound system; captains provide equipment, safety briefings, and instruction during trips for private groups.
