What you'll see
Climb aboard a private double decker party boat and explore the best of Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria Island with your group of up to 12 guests. Your private captain takes you wherever you want to go, from secluded sandbars with crystal clear water to dolphin watching along the Manatee River.
The boat features two full levels with a shaded lower deck, an open-air sundeck with panoramic Gulf views, a water slide off the top deck, and a Bluetooth sound system for your playlist. Coolers and ice are provided, and this is a BYOB charter so bring your own food and drinks.
Create your own trip itinerary! Anchor at a sandbar and swim in waist-deep turquoise water while floating on the included inflatables. Slide off the top deck over and over. Cruise the Intracoastal Waterway and watch bottlenose dolphins surf the wake. Stop at a waterfront restaurant for drinks. Or just relax on the sundeck with your favorite music playing.
Trips of four hours or more can include a stop at Egmont Key State Park, a remote barrier island only accessible by boat. Snorkel around the historic lighthouse, explore Fort Dade ruins from the Spanish-American War, or hunt for shells on uncrowded beaches.
Whether you are celebrating a bachelorette party, birthday, family reunion, or just a day out with friends, this is one of the top things to do on Florida's Gulf Coast. Departs from Blenker Boatworks and Marina with free parking on site.
