What people said about boating in Sarasota Bay
- 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.
- 5.0/5(3 Hour Trip – Bar Hop (PM))
The Highlight of Our Family Vacation!
If you can, book your trip in the morning! Florida’s afternoon rainstorms can pop up quickly, and we found the morning to be the perfect time to be out on the water.
- 5.0/5(Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (AM))
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.
- 5.0/5(2 Hour – CRUZ'N Sandbar & Fun - 12:00 PM)
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(4 Hour – Boating Adventure)

- 5.0/5(Sandbar & Dolphins 4hr (PM))
Family fun!!
The weather was warm, water was cool, but bearable. The only time we felt cold was when the sun went down and we were going full speed.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – CRUZ'N Sunset)
Captain Alex your the best!
Water is clear beautiful you can see dolphins swim at the sandbar just beautiful
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Beach & Sandbar (+drinks))
Highlight of our trip
For people who have never been in a boat getting in may be a learning experience. It is not handicap accessible and would only recommend this for people who can climb in and out of the boat. Other wise this trip is appropriate for everyone and we felt safe and comfortable and was literally the best part of our trip! Highly recommend
- 5.0/5(2 Hour Trip – Sunset Cruise)
Fantastic Experience!
Bring a light jacket or sweater for the Sunset Cruise as temps drop fairly quickly out on the water, as the sun is gone.

- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Bay Cruise/ Sandbar (pm))
Book it!
Our experience with Chris was 100/10 It was easy to communicate with the captain, boat was clean, he had water and ice ready for us, he knew the fun spots, gave us time to hang out and enjoy the view, the ocean and just be present. We were 4 adults, 2 kids and 1 toddler and we had plenty of space on the boat. This trip was the highlight of our trip!
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 Trip – Sandbar (AM))
Amazing Trip
Captain Rob is a great captain, he is fun, knowledgeable and always wants you to have the best time. Of course we did. The dolphins really put on a show as well. 
5.0/5(Special 4 hour trip for Norma Toomet)Perfect day
There are moments when you truly can call it a perfect day. This trip with Sabrina’s Bouy was one of those idyllic days in paradise. Captain Jason, an excellent sailor, guided us to special locations in the Sarasota/Siesta Key area, making our outing memorable. Thank you for a perfect day!
