Your Itinerary

Sarasota

(Pass by)

We will depart from the Marina in Sarasota and travel out into the intracoastal waterway!

Casey Key

(Pass by)

As we make our way out the intracoastal we will head south towards Venice! Our first sight will be Historic Spanish Point! A home to early Florida settlers and a historically important archaeological site! Immediately following we will pass under the Casey Key Swing Bridge, one of only 83 still in operation in the US!

Venice

As we continue on our way south the color of the water begins to transform from brown brackish water to a clear aquamarine tropical paradise. This is largely due to the flow of fresh water coming in from Venice Inlet! Keep your eyes open for Dolphin! As we arrive in Venice Inlet we will pass many great tikis! We can stop for a bite or a cocktail or head to snake island for some shelling! We can always hit the tiki on the way back so no rush! Lets go shelling!

Nokomis

After shelling and a splash let’s stop for a quick bite or pick up something to go! Pop’s Subset grill is a great spot! Not hungry? Let’s head north and look for Dolphins! We can always stop at Casey Key Fish house by the swing bridge!

Siesta Key

(Pass by)

As we get back to Sarasota and Siesta Key we will checkout the mangroves and beautiful homes as we make our way back to port! What a blast!

Captain Justin ROCKS!! He’s so easy going and easy to talk to. He lets you pick which direction you’d like to go and has suggestions for places to stop on the way. He had sand toys for the littles and the boat is very comfortable. He’s full of info and made for a perfect half day for us 4 adults and a toddler.

Captain Justin was super patient and accommodating. Had a great eye for wildlife! We were lucky enough to see dolphins and manatees. He knew the water was choppy from an earlier outing and called to make sure we knew the conditions. Overall we would definitely recommend heading out with this charter company he does an excellent job. We will be calling Captain Justin for any future charters.

We had a great day on the water with Captain Justin! He was very personable and customized the time to make it perfect for us. We stopped for the kids to do some shelling at south lido and at a tiki bar for the adults. We all had a great time seeing Siesta and Sarasota by boat! We also appreciated his local recos for dinner and drink spots.

Our family had a great boat trip. Was perfect for our kids aged 7, 5, and 2. We were able to spot some dolphins and the beach at the south end of Lido Key was beautiful! The captain even found a way for our 5 year old to see a mermaid, which made her trip! Thank you!!
