Private Boat Charters in Sarasota & Southwest Florida
Enjoy a private captained day on the water with your own group. Cruise, swim, visit sandbars, watch for dolphins, enjoy waterfront sightseeing, or simply relax and take in Southwest Florida from the water.
Your Charter. Your Way.
Unlike a crowded public tour, your charter is reserved for your group. Your day can be shaped around what you most want to do, while your captain considers weather, tides, currents, water conditions, and travel time when planning the best route.
Cruise & Sightsee
Explore bays, waterways, waterfront homes, islands, passes, and some of Southwest Florida’s most beautiful coastal scenery.
Swim & Relax
Spend time swimming, floating, relaxing on the boat, or enjoying one of the area’s popular sandbar-style stops.
Watch for Wildlife
Keep an eye out for dolphins, seabirds, and other marine life along the way.
