Dolphin Watching Cruise

The waters around Clearwater Beach are home to a healthy population of wild bottlenose dolphins — and you don't need a crowded tour boat to see them.

On your own boat you can idle through the Intracoastal and along the beaches at your own pace, giving dolphins the space to approach and play in your wake. Mornings and evenings are often best.

A half-day rental is plenty for a dedicated dolphin cruise, and you can combine it with a stop at the sandbar or one of the islands.

Prefer to just watch? Add a captain and let us do the driving.
