About Saylor Made Charters
Saylor Made Charters is a Tampa, Florida based boat charter company that offers private, small-group cruises around Tampa Bay. The company specializes in short private trips tailored for celebrations, sightseeing, and leisure on the water. Saylor Made Charters runs a selection of experiences including Island Adventures!, City Aglow Night Cruise Experience, Sunset Tour, and River Cruise.
Trips depart from Davis Island and other local launch points in Tampa Bay, focusing on scenic routes past Beercan Island, Fantasy Island, the Hillsborough River, and the Riverwalk. Trips are designed for private groups; Island Adventures! is offered for parties of 2–6 and includes music, refreshments, and guided navigation. A certified captain leads each charter, providing navigation and local knowledge for safe, enjoyable outings.
The business positions itself for customers seeking private, customizable boat time rather than large commercial tours. It emphasizes clear itineraries, personalized service, and flexible scheduling to suit special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and small gatherings. Trip durations and operating times vary by experience and season; the Sunset Tour specifically highlights evening views as the sun sets below the downtown skyline while the City Aglow Night Cruise showcases illuminated riverside scenery.
Saylor Made Charters maintains standard safety practices, operates under local maritime regulations, and employs an experienced captain for each trip. The company provides clear booking information, trip summaries, and on-board hospitality options to help guests plan a memorable Tampa Bay outing. Guests can request music choices, light refreshments, and suggested sightseeing stops when booking for groups and special events.
