Details

Madeira Beach, Florida’s gateway to the Gulf Coast, offers sun-drenched waters and coastal charm set within the Tampa Bay area. Levique Tours and Rentals specializes in making the most of what this stretch of vibrant shoreline presents, with an impressive range of boats, paddle gear, and two-wheeled rentals ideal for soaking in local sights. At the heart of their experience is the pontoon boat cruises, particularly those heading out to Shell Key—a pristine barrier island known for its white sand sandbar and clear, shallow waters. These cruises let you unwind on spacious decks with room for friends, while captains like Joe and Colton craft trips tailored to your vibe, blending relaxing views with local stories and an easy-going atmosphere.

Levique’s fleet also includes kayak and paddleboard rentals perfect for skimming the calm waters around Egmont Key and Johns Pass, famous for charismatic wildlife like dolphins, osprey, and friendly manatees. Cyclists can tap into the coastal breeze with well-maintained scooter and bicycle rentals, ideal for short jaunts through Madeira Beach’s scenic canal-front neighborhoods.

Evening adventures stand out here, with sunset tiki cruises providing a laid-back mix of tropical ambiance and striking Gulf sunsets, often enhanced with BYOB convenience and Bluetooth sound systems onboard. Special seasonal events like the 4th of July Fireworks cruise offer a festive way to celebrate with panoramic views from the water.

What makes Levique Tours integral to Madeira Beach’s outdoor scene is their keen attention to guest enjoyment combined with knowledgeable and personable captains who ensure every trip is both safe and memorable. Whether for a bachelorette party, family outing, or solo thrill-seeker, Levique’s combination of approachable service, quality equipment, and varied trip options makes them a standout in Florida’s coastal recreation offerings.
