Full description
Two full decks give your group room to spread out with a shaded lower level for lounging and an open sundeck with views stretching across the Gulf of Mexico and Anna Maria Island's famous white sand beaches. Your private captain handles the navigation while you decide how to spend your time, whether that means cruising the coastline, swimming at a sandbar, or exploring a barrier island. Connect your playlist to our surround sound system and load up the coolers with your own food and drinks. This is a BYOB charter, so stock up on your favorites and enjoy being on the water.
Trips of four hours or more include access to Egmont Key State Park, a secluded barrier island at the mouth of Tampa Bay that you can only reach by boat. This place feels like your own private discovery. Wander through the ruins of Fort Dade, a coastal fortress from the Spanish-American War, or follow nature trails where gopher tortoises and shorebirds outnumber people. The beaches stay uncrowded and the snorkeling around the historic lighthouse reveals colorful fish and starfish. Shelling here ranks among the best on Florida's Gulf Coast, and the whole island offers the kind of quiet afternoon that feels rare these days.
This private party boat charter brings together everything that makes Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island worth visiting. From bachelorette weekends and milestone birthdays to family reunions and corporate outings, this is where the best Gulf Coast memories get made. Book a four hour trip or a full-day adventure and find out why this is one of the top things to do in Bradenton Beach.

Reviews
Pay the extra to sit up front. The unobstructed views was worth it. But if all the seats don’t get sold they let the other the guests that didn’t pay the extra money fill in so a little frustrating that they got the same thing for no extra money. We did enjoy the ride. The crew was very pleasant and the fun facts on the way back made the trip interesting too. Glad we did it.
My reservation was cancelled and I wasnt even notified. We bought an uber there and back. I need to be reimbursed for the tickets and the uber rides from my hotel. I also tried calling to support number so many times. No one picks up.
Awesome time. Great views and good service!
