Passage Key Dolphin Tours operates private, customizable boat charters out of Bradenton Beach, Florida. The company specializes in tailored experiences that focus on wildlife viewing and coastal exploration around Anna Maria Island and nearby waters. Trip options include short wildlife excursions, multi-hour snorkeling and island visits, and full-day customizable charters labeled for Anna Maria Island (AMI) and Sarasota departures.
Trips feature opportunities to search for wild bottlenose dolphins and gentle manatees, snorkel at vibrant shallow-water sites, explore sandbars, and visit Egmont Key State Park to see Fort Dade, the lighthouse, and island wildlife.
