PRIVATE CHARTERS / SARASOTA, FL

Discover Sarasota From the Water

Your own captain. Your own pace. A better view of the Gulf Coast.

Trade crowded sightseeing schedules for a private boat tour through Sarasota’s scenic waterways. Cruise Sarasota Bay, watch for dolphins, stop for a swim, or plan an easygoing celebration with the people you brought along.

Your Sarasota day, your way

✔ Private experiences for couples, families & groups

✔ Custom itineraries led by Captain Hunter

✔ Departures serving Sarasota & Siesta Key

The city looks different from Sarasota Bay

From the water, Sarasota shifts from busy streets to broad bay views, waterfront neighborhoods and the natural beauty of the coast. A private charter lets you experience that contrast without following a crowded group-tour itinerary.

Siesta Adventures plans experiences around your group: sightseeing for first-time visitors, laid-back time on the water, wildlife watching or a special outing with friends.

A Few Tips Before You Go

Daytime or sunset?

Daytime charters suit swimming and exploring. Sunset tours are great for softer light, photos and a laid-back evening.

Bring the essentials

Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, water and a phone or camera. Ask ahead about refreshments, swimming and anything else your group needs.

Stay flexible with the weather

Routes, stops and departure details may change because of wind, tides or conditions. Your captain will help choose a suitable plan.

Confirm your meeting details

Siesta Adventures serves both Sarasota and Siesta Key. Confirm the exact departure location in your reservation details rather than assuming a pickup spot.
