About this tour
A 3-hour private boat charter from St Pete Beach where you'll choose from watersports, snorkelling, dolphin watching or island hopping with a captain at the helm. All gear is included — wake boards, water skis, knee boards, tubes and snorkelling equipment — so you avoid the hassle of renting separately and can focus on the activity. Suits families, groups and anyone after a flexible water adventure without the responsibility of piloting.

What to expect
You'll meet the captain at St Pete Beach and board your private boat. Once aboard, discuss what you'd like to do that day — watersports, snorkelling, dolphin spotting or shelling. If you choose watersports, the captain positions the boat and manages the tow; if snorkelling, you'll head to reefs with gear provided and jump in. Island hopping involves cruising between shallow-water spots to explore and swim. The captain steers throughout, handles safety and navigation, while you stay in control of your own activity level.
Most trips run around 3 hours. You'll return to the beach with all gear stowed; the captain ties up and you head ashore. Fuel surcharge (roughly $50 per trip) is added separately, and gratuities aren't included.

Good to know
Strong fit for families wanting flexibility without renting a boat themselves, groups splitting a private charter, and anyone eager to try watersports or snorkelling without prior booking constraints. Suitable for all fitness levels, though watersports (wakeboarding, skiing) demand reasonable confidence in water and basic arm strength; snorkelling and dolphin watching are gentler. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; small children can travel in a pram before boarding. Weather, water temperature and swell affect comfort — St Pete summer heat and afternoon chop are common. Fuel charge (around $50) is not included in the base price; tips are extra. Public transport is nearby; check exact pickup details with the operator before booking.
