4-Hour Private Island Escape – Islands & Dolphins

About this activity

Spend an unforgettable half-day exploring Clearwater’s islands and calm Gulf waters aboard Salt Therapy with Captain Clearwater. This 4-hour private cruise is the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation—see dolphins, visit sandbars, swim, snorkel, or anchor up for a floating picnic. Bring your own drinks and tunes while your USCG-licensed captain shares local stories and secret spots known only to Clearwater regulars. With flexible pickup points and a laid-back pace, this is how locals spend their day off: sun on your face, salt in the air, and time on your side. All Captain Clearwater charters are private, customizable, and flexible based on weather and guest preference.
