Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Cruise south along the Clearwater Beach coastline as the sun begins to dip, lighting up the white-sand shoreline and skyline in golden hues. With calm evening waters and a warm coastal breeze, it’s the best seat in town for sunset. If conditions allow, we’ll slip briefly into the Gulf for a panoramic view of the sun meeting the horizon — a perspective most visitors never get to see.

One Tree Island (Stop)
Anchor off this locals-only gem for a final swim or float as the colors change around you. Toast the day, cue up your favorite playlist, and soak in that easygoing “Boat Like a Local” vibe that defines Clearwater’s sunset scene.

(All charters are private, fully customizable, and times are approximate based on weather and guest preference.)
