Stay & Play Clearwater Beach Charters: Luxury and Adventure at Sea
Embark on a journey through Florida’s nautical paradise, a haven where the sea tells tales of adventure and serenity. Florida’s coastline, renowned for its diverse marine life and crystal-clear waters, invites you to explore its rich maritime history. From the playful dance of dolphins to the gentle glide of manatees, the ocean here is a living tapestry of wonders. The charter services we partner with offer you a front-row seat to this aquatic spectacle, where every wave whispers stories of the sea.
Clearwater Beach is well known as a jewel in Florida’s coastal crown, offering more than just a beach experience; it’s a sensory delight. Here, the beaches are pristine, the sunsets are stunning, and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico are tranquility itself. You can feel the soft, white sand under your feet, watch the sky paint itself in vibrant hues as the sun sets, and let the gentle rhythm of the waves soothe your soul.
Caladesi Island
Caladesi Island State Park is a unique Florida State Park located on Caladesi Island in the Gulf of Mexico, north of Clearwater Beach. Although not a separate island, Caladesi Island shares its island geography with Clearwater Beach. Accessible by passenger ferry or private boat, this three-mile-long island boasts some of the most stunning beaches in the United States. The Caladesi Island beach has been listed multiple times among the best beaches in the country. A 1921 hurricane cut Hurricane Pass to divide the larger island into two parts, creating Caladesi and Honeymoon Island. Homesteader Henry Scharrer and his daughter Myrtle lived on the island in the 1880s.
Three Rooker Island
Three Rooker Island is a relatively new island in Pinellas County, Florida, accessible only by boat. South of Anclote Key and north of Honeymoon Island, Three Rooker Island emerged in the 1980s as water currents built up the sandbar above sea level. By the 1990s, vegetation had established itself on the newly formed island, making it more resistant to washing away. Part of the Anclote Key Preserve State Park, Three Rooker Island is partially protected for nesting seabirds while also being a popular place for local boaters. Its shape and size often change from interaction with ocean currents, providing a unique landscape.
Our charter partners are your gateway to experiencing this beauty up close in a way few get to. From the sun-kissed shores of our local islands to spotting majestic dolphins in the open sea, Florida’s natural beauty ensures that every aspect of your Clearwater vacation is spectacular.
