Absolutely great time with Captain Chris. Went up to Caladesi Island. Saw Dolphins along the way. Chris was accommodating, communicative, and the boat was awesome. Highly recommend and looking forward to our next charter with him.

We chartered a boat with Captain Clearwater for my bday on the 4th of July and had an AMAZING time! During our cruise to various islands and sandbars we saw dolphins, a manatee and her baby, stingrays leaping out of the water, and various fishing birds. It was a really cool experience and the islands were beautiful with clear water and white-powdered sand. Christopher (the captain) was very informative and had a great sense of humor, he definitely enhanced our positive experience. He even allowed me to bring my two pups along—which not a lot of boats allow—and they had a blast too. I honestly don’t have a single complaint and will absolutely book with him again in the future 🌞

With over 40 years on the water, Captain Chris "Clearwater" Keene brings unmatched local knowledge, calm professionalism, and fun energy to every charter. He’s a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, a USCG Licensed Captain, and a Florida native. In the late '70s & '80's he lived on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, where island life, fishing, surfing, and boating became second nature. Those early years shaped his love for tropical cruising and laid-back hospitality. Over the years, Captain Chris has traveled extensively and boated in incredible places like the Caribbean & Mediterranean Seas, bringing a world of experience and perspective to every local charter. When he’s not at the helm, Chris is a licensed electrician, an accomplished chef, and a natural storyteller. Whether you're looking for a relaxing day at the sandbar, a sunset cruise with music and cocktails, or a dolphin-hunting adventure with the kids, Captain Chris delivers a safe, personal, and unforgettable experience!
