I have run boats 16 foot to 45 foot in the Sarasota area since 2016 and there is no place I would rather be! Hey there, I'm Captain Tobey, Owner and Primary Captain. I'm looking forward to being your Captain for the day! I have been running boats since I was a kid in Ohio, a great state to be from, and once I moved to the Sarasota area in 2016 I knew I had to do more with it. Having attained my U.S. Coast Guard 25 Ton Master License, I struck out to with the goal to replace my current job with this one! In this area I started out in a local boat club, I've had the pleasure of learning our waterways and all the best spots in the area from several of the area's best captains, so kick back and enjoy the ride in comfort, style and safety while we take you to experience the best that our are waterways have to offer. Having spent a lot of time overseas as a contractor, I have found my true passion in the crystal clear seafoam waters of Sarasota. Normally I travel for work and only spend a few months at a time in the area. I decided to turn my passion for the area into an opportunity to share the gems of our home in an effort to hopefully never work another day in my life! We want to offer a taste of local life in Sarasota and share the abundance, beauty, and joy of some of the things we love to spend our days doing. We love to help people make life long memories about that time at the sand bar, or lido beach for the beach party. Generating smiles is what we are all about! Taking some inspiration from one of our favorite shows, Below Deck we strive to offer the big luxury boat experience in a smaller package with all the amenities, toys, games, chairs and floats available to the premium beach party package in addition to the sand bar parties. Inquire within today and lets plan a day you and your favorite beach bums will never forget!
