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. Several departures are explicitly described as private or allow guests to “take command” of their own boat, enabling fully customizable itineraries for families, groups, and friends. Available durations in the lineup include two-, three-, four-, five-, six-, and eight-hour options, along with sunset cruises. Passage Key Dolphin Tours emphasizes customizable experiences: guests can prioritize snorkeling, wildlife sightings, island history, sandbar relaxation, or a mix of activities. The business lists specific trips such as Build Your Own Adventure charters, beginner snorkel adventures, Egmont Key exploration, dolphin-and-manatee tours, and sunset cruises.
