Clearwater Beach Private Pontoon Boat Tours

We had the best time on this excursion! Captain Nick was flexible with our booking and closely monitored weather to ensure we had a perfect day. We saw tons of dolphins, visited a beautiful beach, and hung out on a sandbar. The boat was clean and spacious for our group of 6. Would definitely recommend!

We had a great time on our half day boating trip with captain nick!

Had a blast. Our guide Remi was excellent. We stopped at several Islands and the Sand Bar was amazing.

Remi was amazing! Absolutely the best captain for our ladies outing. I will definitely be booking him for our next outing. I have booked with this company for the past couple of years and they are definitely the best around.

Remi is an amazing boat captain who makes the tour fun, safe, and very memorable. He knows the local waters well, shares great stories, and keeps everyone comfortable the whole time.

Great experience! Probably the best way to enjoy different areas of Clearwater and nearby islands. Captain Remi was great and we could not have enjoyed our time more. He was very personable and very kind. I would not give a second thought about booking this adventure.

Captain Remi was very friendly and accommodating. The boat was clean, safe, and comfortable. We requested to cut our trip short due to a family member who stayed back at the hotel not feeling well. He maximized what we could do in the reduced time frame and we went to a stunning beach that felt private. He gave us nice bags for shell collecting and we found many sand dollars and beautiful conch-like shells. We swam and even found a live starfish! He dropped us off closer to our hotel which was helpful. I dropped a star because there was no bottled water on the boat even though the description stated it was included. We needed water and could have brought some but didn't due to the description.

What an amazing experience! We did a half day trip with family. Capt. Nick was the best! He took us to some beautiful locations, pointed out cool spots, and was very accommodating for us. If/when we come back, we will book the fishing charter with him next time! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!!

Remi was an amazing captain with fab music taste! He was hospitable and social, making us all feel at ease. We had initially booked the 1.30 pm slot with Reel Runner Gulf Adventures but ended up rescheduling to the 9am slot because of potential bad weather. This was definitely the move and I thank the Reel Runners staff for giving us this option. We were able to bring drinks on board thanks to the cooler on the back of the boat. The pontoon boat had lots of shade which allowed us to cool off from some of the sun exposure. We saw dolphins and went to more secluded beaches that you would only really normally be able to access by watercraft- well worth the money. Thank you for an awesome time, Rémi!

This was the highlight of our trip to Clearwater. Our Captain, Remi, was awesome! He was very communicative prior to leaving for the trip, ensuring we had everything we would need. Once on the boat, he made sure we had the best experience and listened to what was important to us. We wanted to see wildlife, snorkel, and find shells. Obviously he can't control what wildlife we see, but once we arrived at each island he pointed out the areas that would be best for snorkeling, best to find shells, and best spots to see dolphins and manatees. He was spot on. We saw several dolphins and manatees just feet away from us. While snorkeling we saw so many fish, stingrays, and crabs. The kids also enjoyed collecting shells. An unexpected bonus was his knowledge of the area. We have spent a lot of time in Clearwater and we learned so many new things. We will be back next time we are in Clearwater!

We booked a 4 hour, private boat tour with Reel Runner Gulf Adventures for a group of six adults. Everything about the tour from start to finish was excellent! Communication with the tour owner/staff was very clear and consistent from beginning to end. They went above and beyond to ensure a great, customized experience for our group. Our guide, Captain Remi, was AWESOME!!! It was clear his main priority was for our group to have the best time possible, and we did! He was extremely knowledgeable and shared details along the tour route. He also provided a cooler full of ice, amazing non-stop music, and great conversation. We are definitely looking forward to future sailing with Reel Runner Gulf Adventures, and Captain Remi.

Nice experience. Great 1/2 day with captain Nick. He had a nice new boat. He was friendly and easy going.

Lots of fun! Beautiful beaches, captain was great! Stopped at a few different sandbars, had a pick nick and the kids found tons of shells.

This was an awesome time. We seen many dolphins. Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. Remy was awesome and a lot of fun.

The absolute perfect day! We saw tons of dolphins, Remy even got them to jump the wake behind the boat! The islands were beautiful, we found beautiful shells. Remy was the perfect captain, we’ve claimed him as an honorary family member;) He’s so knowledgeable and personable. Definitely the highlight of our trip!

Wonderful experience. It was easy fun and perfect way to spend time with family on the water. The views were beautiful, the ride was relaxing and guide was amazing. We enjoyed every minute of our time on the water.

We had a blast with Captain Remi! We had a great time looking for shells. The beaches were beautiful and not crowded. Thanks for a great day!!

The boat was nice, clean, and comfortable. Captain Remi was knowledgeable of the area and a perfect fit for our family.

The two stops were perfect for shell hunting and our captain was delightful. We had 4 of us on the trip and had a great time.

This was by far the most amazing experience we've all encountered. Captain Remi was absolutely on point! Professional, fun, informative, explained all safety instructions - -we just had overall an amazing unbelievable time! So great we are already booked for a future trip!

This is a perfect way to spend your afternoon. So nice to slip away and enjoy the quiet beach and to be able to be on the water. Remy was an amazing guide. Would highly recommend!

We all had a wonderful time on the water. Remy was an excellent captain and very informative and open to whatever we wanted to do. We will definitely be doing this again!

This is the second time we have done this tour. It was even better the second time around. Our captain, Remy was amazing. He was so much fun and had great places to take us. It was my husband’s 60th birthday and Remy made his day!!!!! We had a blast! Thanks so much for everything. We will see you next time we visit.

Not only was the communication great, we had such an amazing time with Captain Remy. His interaction with the entire group was amazing, and he allowed us to feel comfortable. We all had an amazing time and would definitely do this again!

We had the absolute best time with Remi! He made the trip so fun for us. He made sure we got to see dolphins the whole trip. He knew the best spots. We highly recommend this. ♡

Remi was the best captain! Friendly and knowledgeable! We had a great cruise! We would love to come back and do it again.

Remy was the perfect captain for our bachelorette party! He was accommodating, high energy and knew all the best spots to make it an eventful cruise. Would highly recommend him for your next time out on the water!

Captain Remington was amazing, we had the best time! He was very knowledgeable about the area,and we had an awesome dolphin sighting..

Wonderful, relaxing and informative dolphin and shoreline tour. The young captain was experienced and provided care and professionalism on the entire trip. He was accommodating of all our needs.

Our family - grandparents, son and 4-year-old granddaughter - had an absolutely fantastic trip with Captain Remi! From start to finish, the day was pure magic. We spotted dolphins and manatees up close, spent time shelling and building sandcastles on Three Rooker Island, and enjoyed picture‑perfect weather the entire way. Special kudos to Captain Remi—friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. He was flexible and made the whole experience feel effortless and fun, and his easygoing energy set the tone for a perfect day on the water. We enjoyed it so much and would book with him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I would give 10 stars if I could! Capt Remy was amazing! What an unforgettable day for the whole family!

Great 4 hours up and down sand banks plus snorkeling and a stop for food. Clean boat. Zero complaints.

Was a beautiful day seeing dolphins 🐬 and stingrays!

Great time! Picked up sand dollars from an isolated beach. Saw many dolphins. Our captain Remy was very knowledgeable and very friendly.

Great tour! Capt Remy was so much fun and made our trip so memorable. He was devoted to getting us some good dolphin sightings and shared a lot of cool info about the area. He knocked it out of the park!!

The tour was great. Our captain was fun and entertaining, and each spot was beautiful. Highly recommended!

Remy our captain for the day was delightful and full of knowledge. The pontoon was in excellent condition and very clean. We enjoyed the two stops we made so we could have a bit of time to walk the beaches or enjoy a refreshing dip in the water. We all would highly recommend this particular pontoon plus even more our Captain Remy!

We visited multiple different islands, found cool seashells and sand dollars a few dolphins on the way there and back good amount of sandbars. Captain Nick was so cool and very educated, I love that there was a Bluetooth speaker to play any kind of music at any volume. 10/10 recommend

Super fun! Will be back and choose a longer trip next time. Stopped at two islands (four hours). Tyler was friendly & knowledge

We had a wonderful experience on this boat tour. Captain Nick was very organized, contacted us in advance to better understand the type of trip we were hoping for and created a great experience on the water. We were able to combine a beautiful nature-focused trip visiting islands and speeding around with dolphins and then seeing some of the interesting local sights.

Awesome day on the water playing with dolphins, sightseeing and shelling. Captain Nick had the flexibility to accommodate weather (brrr). The boat is pristine and super comfortable. We had a great day.

This was an excellent excursion for our family! Our original booking was forecasted for rain, so I was in contact with Captain Nick and we shifted our booking to the next afternoon which turned out to be wonderful weather. He took us to an island where we collected seashells. Our little ones had an amazing time. He provided life vests for our kids, and suggested we bring our own blankets in case it's chilly, which worked out wonderfully when the boat was going fast. On the ride back we saw dolphins and they swam with us for maybe 5 minutes on the way back, it was amazing!!

Great experience. Captain Nick was wonderful. We went out to Caladesi island .Will definitely do it again

It was a perfect day to take the boat to this beautiful island 🏝️ for our anniversary, captain nick made it easy wonderful and was very accommodating to us and went the extra mile to get us there early and take amazing pictures.

Wonderful!!! BEAUTIFUL!! Amazing!!..Captain Nick was fantastic, informative, funny and he made this trip a heartwarming memory for our record books..We are already planning our second and third bookings with Captain Nick!!

It was amazing! My family and I had so much fun, and the captain was extremely nice! I would Highly recommend the sunset cruise! I can’t wait till my family and I get to come back.

Boat tour was ok, but we all felt it could have been better. There was no wow factor, or attempt to do anything other than drive a boat. We were taken to a couple of Islands, given their names but apart from that were left to our own devices with little to no interaction. The following day we went on another boat tour in Crystal River and it was exceptional based on the service, interactions and genuine intent. The boat was lovely, very good condition and what we were expecting. If we were to do a boat tour again we would chose a different company

Captain Nick was not only patient, but caring and knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and completely made my family and me feel at home on the water. He even helped put a few decorations up for my daughter’s 15th birthday upon the boat, outstanding and will recommend to any visitors in Central or South Florida.

Our family had an amazing time and Captain Nick was an excellent host. Our favorite was Caladesi Island. Would recommend 10/10!
