Cruise Sarasota Bay, look for dolphins and manatees, explore beautiful sandbars, or celebrate a Gulf Coast sunset with Captain Hunter. Private excursions for couples, families and groups of up to 12.
The island is famous for its beaches, but some of its most memorable views are found beyond the shoreline. With Siesta Adventures, your time on the water can be tailored to what your group enjoys most: calm-water sightseeing, dolphin watching, swimming, snorkeling, waterfront stops, or a laid-back cruise.
Instead of joining a crowded public tour, enjoy the flexibility of a private charter. Captain Hunter helps shape the outing around your preferred pace, group size, and conditions on the water.
Explore the Sarasota and Siesta Key waterways while watching for dolphins, manatees, shorebirds and other marine life. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
Anchor at a scenic sandbar when conditions allow, cool off in shallow water, and enjoy a relaxed Florida beach-day atmosphere.
Take in glowing evening skies and waterfront views on a private cruise that is especially popular with couples and small groups.
Discover underwater scenery in suitable local areas, with locations and activities dependent on weather, tides and visibility.
Make a day of your excursion with potential stops at local dockside restaurants and bars, coordinated with your captain.
Celebrate a milestone with a personalized boating experience, music, scenery and time with your favorite people.
A private boat tour reveals a different side of the Siesta Key area. Depending on your route, interests and conditions, you may enjoy scenery around Sarasota Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, Midnight Pass and the shores near Point of Rocks.
