Overview

Set out for the ultimate Clearwater adventure aboard Salt Therapy with Captain Clearwater. This 6-hour private cruise is your chance to see it all—dolphins, sandbars, islands, and the open Gulf—at your own pace. Whether you’re island-hopping, snorkeling, grabbing lunch, or floating with a cold drink in hand, every moment is yours to design.

All 6-hour charters depart from the Belleair Causeway Boat Ramp, with convenient $6 all-day parking.

Captain Chris, a USCG-licensed veteran, brings over 40 years of local knowledge and laid-back hospitality to make the day effortless. With plenty of time to explore, this is Clearwater done right. All Captain Clearwater charters are private, customizable, and flexible based on weather and guest preference.

What to expect

  1. Anclote Key Preserve State Park
    1h
    Located just north of Honeymoon Island, Anclote Key Preserve State Park is a stunning stretch of protected shoreline known for its historic 1887 lighthouse, sugar-white sand, and turquoise shallows. On calm days, Captain Chris may extend the cruise north to explore this pristine island, where dolphins and seabirds are common. You can stroll the beach, snap photos of the lighthouse, or simply float and enjoy the peace of Florida’s wild Gulf coast.
    (All charters are customizable and times are approximate.)
  2. Honeymoon Island State Park
    1h
    Cruise north past Dunedin and drop anchor near the quiet tip of Honeymoon Island, a peaceful stretch of sand where you can wade, swim, or look for shells away from the crowds. This protected area is known for its calm waters and frequent dolphin & manatee sightings. (All charters are customizable and times are approximate.)
  3. 1h
    Accessible only by boat, Caladesi Island is one of Florida’s most beautiful barrier islands. Step ashore to walk its soft white beaches or float just off the shoreline. Captain Chris will share stories of local history and the marine life that makes this area so unique. (All charters are customizable and times are approximate.)
  4. Clearwater Beach
    Pass by
    Cruise south along the Clearwater Beach coastline for panoramic views of the white-sand shoreline and the skyline from the water. If the seas are right, we’ll head briefly into the Gulf to pass Clearwater Beach by way of open water — a view most visitors never get to see.

    One Tree Island (Stop)
    Anchor off this small locals-only island for a laid-back swim or floating break. Toss out the floats, relax with your favorite drink, and enjoy the easygoing “Boat Like a Local” vibe that makes this stop a Captain Clearwater favorite.
    (All charters are customizable and times are approximate.)
