TripAdvisor's #1 Boat Tour in Clearwater & Indian Rocks Beach

a logo

I had a boat trip with Captain Randy and it was amazing. His knowledge, great personality and sense of humor made it a 4 hour trip I’ll never forget. He took me to some islands that only the locals go to and it was breathtaking. I cannot wait to book again. Thanks for a beautiful afternoon!

I’ve been coming to the Clearwater area for over 25 years I have never gone about getting a charter but I’ll be sure to go back again I’ll be calling Captain Randy and requesting Jesse to take us on another tour sometime soon! I highly recommend A Boat Day and I hope they persevere through the uncertain times were all facing these days.

Our family took a private boat tour with Captain Marc and it was phenomenal! He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and was very accommodating to our needs and wishes for the trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy a great day on the water with no worries!

Words cannot express how wonderful and grateful we were for the experience and kindness of Randy. We were hesitant to go on our vacation given COVID-19 however this was the perfect way to enjoy the uncrowded beaches and beauty of Clearwater. All from an amazingly well kept boat! Tt was the highlight of our trip!

We took the afternoon boat ride with Captain Randy and it was amazing. We went to two different islands and searched for seashells, then watched dolphins as they chased after us in the boat. He is so knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. This was the highlight of our vacation!

Seth was incredible to work with, very responsive and responsible pricing! The pontoon boat was really nice, huge! More than enough room for our family of 6! We couldn't have asked for anything more from Captain Mike! So friendly, knew all the great spots to go, where to find ALL the dolphins, genuinely a great guy!!

Our dolphin tours.

Join us for an opportunity to observe some of the most intelligent, playful and athletic of all sea creatures. Our dolphin cruise provides the opportunity to see dolphins in the wild. There are a number of dolphin pods in the area. We know where to look for them and strive to make every dolphin tour a fun and successful adventure. In that dolphins are wild creatures and therefore unpredictable, we cannot guarantee that we will always encounter a dolphin pod. We can honestly say that seldom do we sail on Wind Star, whether a dolphin cruise or not, that we do not successfully see dolphins. During a dolphin cruise we will make it our primary goal to locate dolphins. When we do find dolphins we use Wind Star's size and wake to encourage dolphins to play on our bow and stern waves. We are sure that you will have a great time on your tour.

OUR SAILING CHARTER DESTINATIONS

Cruise to anclote key.

Anclote Key is a pristine Island which is a fantastic island to explore. This is a full day experience. Traveling from Dunedin Marina to Anclote Key is approximately a 2 hour sail. We will then anchor Wind Star offshore and take a short dinghy ride to the island.  Once there, you will have the opportunity to explore the lighthouse grounds and enjoy the backwaters of the island. The return trip will be approximately two hours.

CRUISE TO three rooker bar

Three Rooker Bar is as its name suggests a rookerie. During various times of the year there are large numbers of birds nesting on the island. Three Rooker Bar is popular with the locals and has beautiful water, shelling, swimming, and gorgeous sugar sand beaches.
