3-hour Private Clearwater Beach Adventure – Dolphins & Sandbars

Captain Chris was a great tour guide (captain ) very entertaining and knowledgeable about the area… we had a great time

We had a great time island hopping. Our toddler loved it too. Captain Chris was very knowledgeable.

We spent a fantastic Saturday morning with Captain Chris on Captain Clearwater charters. He was punctual, fun, knowledgeable and a skilled captain. Our (6 lady) party had a terrific day on the water and were comfortable and safe all day. Boarding was easy and parking was free. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had a spectacular time on this 3 hour private cruise! It was our big splurge of the trip, and it definitely met and exceeded expectations. Captain Chris was awesome! We were able to go to several destinations and spend time on each. Caladesi Island was particularly cool with the massive amount of birds of different species gathered together. And a ton of really interesting shells. We went at a bad time for dolphins and would have rated this 5 stars even without them. But Captain Chris worked some magic and found some as a bonus! The boat ride itself was fantastic. We were able to connect our phone via Bluetooth to play our custom playlist. Definitely recommend this one!!!

Absolutely great time!! Captain Chris was great and so chill!!

Great Captain! Wonderful tour. Charter Captain was accommodating to our needs. We had a great time. Highly recommend.

Chris was an amazing captain. Truly gave me and my friends the best experience for a great cost. Very knowledgeable of the Clearwater area and his boat was very comfortable. We will definitely be rebooking with Chris!

As a parent of twin sons, of course safety is always top of mind, and we brought my wife, two children and friends out on our voyage. Captain Clearwater (Chris) was an absolute great guide, fun, a local from the area, ex-coastguard service member who knows the area well and prioritizes a safe, awesome/ fun & informative experience. He took us to soft, white-sanded & exotic islands with crystal waters and tide-pools the kids could play in that felt like you were in the Bahamas, gorgeous. I highly recommend this trip with family, friends or a couples day out and you can trust Captain C with your family!

Amazing morning to beautiful beaches. 4 y/o loved shelling. Safe, courteous service. Captain Chris is dependable.

We were on a family vacation and Captain Chris made sure safety was his number one priority. Great time on the water! 10 out of 10!!!

Captain Chris was very professional, knowledgeable and easy going. We had a group of 6-two teens and two children and they LOVED it. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. All the kids wanted to do was find shells, snorkel and see the local animals. We found beautiful large shells and whole sand-dollars on Honeymoon Island and saw dolphins and a mother and baby manatees very close to our boat. Highly recommend this experience and captain!

We took the 3 hour trip with Captain Chris and it will be the highlight of our vacation. The spots he took us to were beautiful with lots of marine life, birds and shells. While i, mom, really enjoyed the tranquility of crusing the Intacoasta, the boys loved the intensity of riding the Gulf swells! We will definitely be booking with him and "Salt Therapy" again!

Trip was amazing! My son and husband loved it and Captain Chris was great - would definitely recommend booking this!

Excellent experience! Captain Chris is laid back but knowledgeable. We also appreciated his flexibility in allowing us to cruise a bit more than the original itinerary. Highly recommend this excursion!

We had an amazing experience with Captain Chris! From start to finish, he made our private boat tour unforgettable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting local history and information about the Clearwater area that we never would have known on our own. One of our favorite parts was stopping at the secluded private beaches where we found some incredible shells. Captain Chris knew all the best spots and made sure we had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The entire trip felt relaxed, personalized, and never rushed. If you’re looking for a fun, private boat tour with a captain who truly knows the area and goes above and beyond to make your day special, we can’t recommend Captain Chris enough. It was easily one of the highlights of our Florida trip!

This was one of our best experiences. Our Captain was amazing and very informative. We learned a lot about the area. The islands we went to were breath taking. We collected 2 bags of sand dollars and whole shells. My family also got to experience seeing many dolphins in close proximity to the boat. I highly recommend booking.

Captain is very knowledgeable about the area, the Gulf is gorgeous. The beaches we went to were fun and we got to see dolphins, which was awesome. Easy to find the boat dock and he was ready to go even though we we're early.

Captain Chris was knowledgeable, pleasant and courteous. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this adventure.

My husband and I booked a 3-hour trip with Captain Clearwater and had a great time! He was friendly, laid back and we felt very safe the entire time. We went to an island and had about an hour to beach comb, swim, etc. before heading back. Along the way he stopped when he spotted dolphins so we could get a closer look at them. It was exactly the type of experience we were hoping for. If we’re back in the area we’ll definitely book this again!

Captain Clearwater was great! His local knowledge really shines through when he’s giving the tour. We will book again next year and do the 4hr instead of 3.

The boat tour was the highlight of our girls' trip. Captain Chris was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment we boarded. The Islands were beautiful and relaxing. We got to be close to a manatee while in the water and the shells we found were so pretty. This will now be a must do for our yearly girls' trip. Thank you so much, Captain Chris

Captain Chris was a great host! Toured to Honeymoon & Caladesi islands & a trip through the mangroves. Beautiful scenery & shelling, dolphins, crabs, stingrays. 10/10 recommend!

We LOVED our trip with Salt Water Therapy and Captain Chris!! This was the best part of visiting Clearwater. He was so knowledgeable and fun, we experienced parts of the Gulf we never would have seen without Captain Chris! This will be part of our annual trip and recommend to everyone!!

We absolutely love this! The captain was amazing host and so informative !! He was amazing! Thank you so much. Would highly recommend!! Have a blessed day

Had an awesome time. Chris was a tour guide. Highly recommend.

The entire experience from booking, thru the end of the trip was great. Captain Chris kept in touch with us explained everything great and we had such an amazing experience we got to see dolphins swim, she'll, and enjoyed ourselves. 3 hours flew by like 30 minutes. He told some great history and truely made it an unforgettable experience he made sure we got our videos if dolphins to!!!

Captain Chris was the best! He was awesome to hangout out with and chat with. Showed us many dolphins and beautiful islands for all the shell fishing. Would highly recommend boating with him. Easy, relaxed, great company.

Captain Chris was awesome. Gave us plenty of time at each stop and share with us places to eat and fish. 10/10 recommend

Experienced local captain. Very clean boat and lots of communication before the trip. We were very happy with our trip and really thankful for the heads up about the weather coming in later in the day. Hope to book again next year!

Great experience overall! Boat was spacious with a cooler and blue tooth speaker. Captain Chris was wonderful informative and accommodating . 100% using him when we come back next year

We had such a great time on this trip! It was the perfect way to get out on the water without dealing with big crowded tours. Everything felt super relaxed and easy from the start. We cruised around, stopped at a beautiful spot to get out and walk around, and even saw dolphins along the way which was awesome. It never felt rushed — just a really laid-back, fun few hours enjoying Clearwater from the water. Captain Chris made the whole experience feel personal and just went with the flow of what we wanted to do. If you’re looking for something private, fun, and stress-free, this is definitely the way to go. Would absolutely do this again next time we’re in town!

Overall very nice guy the captain. The island was very nice, but you should change the dolphin part. There were no dolphins whatsoever in the whole activity. The boat very nice clean good conditions, but the expected thing wasn’t at all there. Also sand bars nowhere to be found. You should re name the activity as PARTY BOAT ISLAND ADVENTURE

Captain Clearwater/Chris was Amazing! We booked for a 3 hr private boat experience. Capt Chris brought us to Honeymoon Island where we were able to walk around, get seashells, do some swimming, etc. We were wanting a very relaxing and chill experience and Chris was more than accommodating!! Chris is very knowledgeable and very experienced with the Clearwater area. We highly recommend him! We’ll definitely book another experience with him again!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Captain Chris was wonderful! The whole experience was amazing, from the nice boat and beautiful ride, visiting another island - everything turned out perfectly, and Captain Chris was the best host and guide! We will definitely do this again!

Captain Chris was amazing! He was very informative on the area, the impact of the hurricane and where to search for the good shells. Near the end of the trip he hit the dolphin button and we got to see a pod of 6 dolphins swimming near us and playing. It was such a great experience.

We had a fantastic time on our Clearwater boat charter. Communication with Captain Chris beforehand was excellent, and he made everything feel easy and well organised. On the day, he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the local area, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. We even collected some beautiful shells along the way. Would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water.

Chris was great, and knows the waterways better than anyone. Very fun, safe trip for the family. Thanks Chris!

We had a great time! Me and husband are happy we booked this! It was a great way to get on the water.

This was a great experience! The tour guide was awesome and created a very calm and relaxing environment! Highly recommend!

Captain Chris took us on a beautiful ride! He is very down to earth and our group had such a fun time!

An amazing fun experience the captain was very nice and fun. Went with my siblings and our kids and we all had a great time
