From our new location (15- 20 min car ride North of Clearwater Beach) in Ozona FL (aka Palm Harbor), we now have fabulous access to wide open ocean vistas and direct access to some of the countries (and worlds) greatest remote island beaches. All of our exclusive destinations are only reachable by boat.
* Our 2 hour charters do NOT make any island, paddle board or swim stops.
You will need to consider a 3 or 4 hour charter for these activities due to time constraints. Paddleboards not included on Bowrider vessel, nor from November thru March on catamaran due to colder water temperatures.
"Three Moons" Catamaran Excursions:
2 Hours: We will take a 60 minute sail north towards Three Rooker Sandbar and pass along Honeymoon Island, seeing wonderful vistas of the Gulf of Mexico. Return trip is 60 minutes for total of 2 hours duration. About 7 nautical miles distance round trip.
3 and 4 Hours: (popular) The "RED arrowhead" (picture insert to right) is Three Rooker Sandbar/ Island. This location is reserved for our 3 & 4 hour charters as it does take about 60 minutes to get there and anchor. Great beaches and great shelling, snorkling and paddle boarding opportunities.
* We will anchor in about 2 - 4 ft depth of water just off shore in all sand bottom location. We do not "beach the boat". If you plan on getting off the boat to go to shore, you must:
1) Plan on getting wet, 2) be physically capable of navigating our ladder on /off the vessel
Please bring your water shoes to protect your feet when walking on the ocean bottom. If you are doing a 3 hour tour you will have approximately 60 minutes shore time; if doing a 4 hour tour you will have about 120 minutes of shore time.
