Sightseeing, Sandbar, and Wildlife Cruises!
Enjoy what the locals do in St. Petersburg, Florida with Local Boat Charter. We provide private tours for sightseeing, sandbars, and just cruising! Observe our wildlife and natural wonders, peek at expensive homes, or just sit back and enjoy!
Our cruises are not on the beach, which means you can expect fewer crowds and more fun! We promote conservation and you will be able to experience Florida’s natural wildlife and their habitat.
Our everyday life involves cruising around the area, taking pictures of dolphins and other wildlife, or playing in the water at the local sandbar. We would love for you to experience these too! Hang out with us and be a local!
