Captain C was an amazing communicator through the whole process! Our day started with questionable weather and was ultimately left up to us on if we’d like to continue and I’m so glad we did! Celebrated the kids birthdays and had cake and lunch on the island! Kids all had an amazing time shelling and found their fair share of them!! Had multiple dolphin sightings as well. Very informative and knowledgeable of the area! Thanks again Cap!

Captain was AMAZING! He knew all the great spots to go to. As soon as we were in the water, he asked us what type of experience we were looking for. We told him we were beach people. There were a few quaint spots he suggested, but we left it totally up to him to choose. Not only did he choose the perfect spot for our group, he also gave us some really cool history about the intercoastal & the hole area in general! He definitely has the perfect slogan, "Boat Like a Local". We felt like locals for sure. We made a new friend & now have our go to guy for all things boating! THANK YOU Captain Chris.... It was an amazing trip!!!

Captain Chris is the real deal! From the moment we stepped on his boat, we felt like locals instead of tourists. He knew all the hidden spots where dolphins play and the quiet stretches of the Intracoastal where you can just relax and take it all in. The boat was spotless and comfortable, and Chris himself was laid-back, funny, and clearly a pro with years of experience on the water. The sunset was absolutely breathtaking, and the whole cruise felt private and personal compared to the crowded big boats. If you want an unforgettable Clearwater experience, skip the cookie-cutter tours and book with Captain Chris. We’ll be coming back for sure!

Captain Chris was awesome! He was very accommodating and friendly. His boat was super comfortable for the 5 of us and my 84 year old mom. He took us to both honeymoon island and caladessi island and went swimming. Will definitely use him again.!

We had an absolutely unforgettable day with Captain Clearwater. Captain Chris is top-notch—friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about local spots. We had so much fun visiting different islands and snorkeling. If you’re looking for a memorable day on the water, CaptainClearwater is worth every penny. Highly recommend!

With over 40 years on the water, Captain Chris brings unmatched local knowledge, calm professionalism, and fun energy to every charter. A U.S. Coast Guard veteran, licensed master captain, and Florida native, he spent his early years on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, where fishing, surfing, and island life became second nature. Those experiences shaped his love for tropical cruising and laid-back hospitality. Over the years, he’s boated throughout the Caribbean and Mediterranean, bringing a world of experience to every local trip. When he’s not at the helm, Chris is a licensed electrician, accomplished chef, and natural storyteller. Whether you want a relaxing sandbar day, a sunset cruise with cocktails, or a dolphin-spotting adventure, Captain Chris delivers a safe, personal, and unforgettable experience.
