Drop anchor where the water turns glass clear

A short run up the Intracoastal, then the engine goes quiet. Swim, float and forget what time it is until the captain says it’s time to head back.

What the sandbar trip is

The slowest of the six, and the one people book when they want to be in the water rather than looking at it. The captain runs you out to a sandbar, anchors up, and the afternoon is yours.

On board, as standard

Same boat whichever route you pick. Nothing here is an add-on.

A licensed captain

USCG licensed, on every trip. You’re not driving, so no boater test is needed for anyone in your group.

Cooler and ice

Bring your own drinks and food. No corkage, no restrictions on what you pack, and the ice is already aboard.

Bluetooth on board

Pair your phone and run the playlist from the sandbar. The captain has heard worse than whatever you’re planning.

Flat water, all the way

Intracoastal only, so no ocean swell and no chop. Good for mixed groups and easy on anyone who isn’t sure about boats.

What it costs

Priced per boat, not per head. Nine of you on one charter works out considerably cheaper each than nine separate rentals.

2 hours $350 · 3 hours $525 · 4 hours $700 · 6 hours $1,050 · 8 hours $1,500

Whole boat, up to nine guests. Split nine ways that’s about $39 each.

The sandbar trip sits inside $350 to $1,500, depending on how long you want at anchor.
Taxes and gratuity aren’t included. Gratuity for the captain is customary but never expected.
Local cruising fuel is included. The eight-hour Lake Boca trip is the only one that adds a $100 surcharge.

Cancelling

Cancel 48 or more hours before departure for a full refund. Inside 48 hours and no-shows are non-refundable. Weather cancellations are the captain's call and are rescheduled or refunded.

This is the pontoon policy specifically. Beach rentals work differently — those carry no rain check and no refund at all.

Want the boat to yourself with no fixed route? Private charters work the same way.

Before you board

Three things, and the first one is the only one people get wrong.

Arrive 15 minutes early

The captain needs that time to brief the boat and get everyone aboard. Late arrivals can lose the slot — the boat has a schedule after yours.
Sign the waiver

One per person, passengers included. No boater test — the captain is driving. Do it online before you arrive and check-in takes a minute.
Bring a towel

Drinks, food, sunscreen and something to dry off with. The cooler and ice are on board. If you’re swimming, water shoes aren’t a bad idea.
