What people said about boating in Anna Maria Island
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Dolphin/Sandbar Tour - 2:00 PM)
Amazing Animals!
It is a little risky rain wise and it got cloudy but we actually liked that because it made it not unbearablely hot. The animals were really active and that was what we were looking for! The water was warm still and enjoyable to be in. We went from 2:00-6:00 and it was the perfect amount of time. We got to swim, see animals, take pictures, and cruise around.
- 5.0/5(2 Hour Tour – Sandbar-Dolphins-Fun - 2:00 PM)
An absolute blast!
Be prepared for traffic on the island, especially during tourist times. We went for Labor Day weekend so it was pretty busy and not a lot of parking options. Accommodate enough time to arrive early
- 4.7/5(Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (AM))
Met our needs flawlessly
Get there early as parking is a pain and you'll need your cellphone a d a credit card to pay for parking. The boat dock is attached to the oyster bar and public pier. Use bathroom before you get onboard.

Capt. Isander Santiago gave us a "10-Star" pontoon cruise!!
YES- as a Private Tour (as ours was). I will request Capt. Isander Santiago anytime I can for future trips.

Amazing boat trip and experience
Having our bachelorette party out with Captain Jeff was the highlight of our trip! The amount of marine life we got to see was the cherry on top. You must book this charter for your next vacation. Make sure you ask for Captain Jeff! - 5.0/5(Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM))

Dolphins and Sandbars!!
We had such a great time with Captain Dana! She took us to some very cool spots and saw so many dolphins! Also took us to a few sandbars where the sandollars were growing on trees (not literally, but we found a bunch!) She was very fun to talk to about the area and her SeaDoo Switch was a lot of fun! Hope to ride with her again in the future! - 5.0/5(3 Hour – Sandbar Adventure!)
Great Experience
I’ve used Capt Thomas a number of times over the years and always have a great experience. He’s very friendly, professional and has incredible knowledge on the water. I’ll continue to use Capt Thomas in the future.

Highly recommend Captain Kyle! we were a group of 4 adults and 1 kiddo looking for some fun for everyone. Kyle took us to Egmont Key where we found beautiful shells, then to the ruins for some snorkeling and ended with an amazing time at the sandbar. We were greeted by such a friendly manatee, a floor full of sanddollars and a few crabs! A truly amazing trip!- 5.0/5(Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM))

fun boating day with the kids
dana was awesome! she took us everywhere we wanted to go and we had a blast 
4.3/5(Trip for Liz)Great Boat, Great Captain!
We had booked a customized trip splitting fishing and snorkeling. When we arrived at the dock , the Captain told us he didn’t know anything about the fishing so we only wound up snorkeling. The day was still a lot of fun, but we were looking forward to fishing too! The sandbar is beautiful and we saw some dolphins and manatees, very nice day overall. The boat is very comfortable with a little bathroom.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Dolphin and Sandbar Cruise)

Perfect captain and boat
We were doing a sunset journey away from land to show respects to our loved ones who passed. Captain James was respectful, flexible, and recommended a location that worked perfectly for us. He is a great pilot and navigator. - 5.0/5(Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM))
