Sarasota Pontoon Party Barge - Snorkel & Sandbar Tours - 6 Guest Max

Owner's Description

Come aboard for a day on the water exploring Sarasota Bay, the barrier islands, and the passes that make this stretch of Florida coastline so interesting to navigate. Your captain has spent years working these waters and can point out things you would miss on your own, whether that is a pod of dolphin moving through a channel at sunrise or a quiet sandbar where you can spend an hour wading in waist-deep water. The boat is set up for small groups with comfortable seating throughout and plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. There is a water slide for younger guests and a cooler on board for drinks and snacks. Each trip stops at a few different locations, combining snorkeling at established reef spots with time on the sandbars where you can wade, swim, and just float in the clear water. The itinerary varies based on conditions and what is happening in the bay that day. What to Expect: - Guided snorkeling at established reef locations with gear provided - Time on the sandbars in sheltered areas around the bay - A slow cruise through Big Pass, where dolphin and manatee are commonly seen - Sunset tour option with a calm run along the coast as the day winds down - Small group atmosphere with a relaxed pace between stops Onboard Amenities: - Water slide for younger guests - Shade and bench seating throughout - Cooler for drinks and personal items - Sun protection and basic safety gear provided The captain handles navigation, timing, and everything in between, so you can focus on enjoying the water and the scenery. Groups are kept to six people maximum, which keeps the experience comfortable and allows for a flexible itinerary that works for everyone on board.
