Private Water Adventures in St. Petersburg

Looking for the perfect day on Tampa Bay? Sea-N-Double Charters delivers exactly what you're after with their top-rated private water activities right here in St. Petersburg. Whether you've got half a day to spare or want to make it a full-day adventure, this charter lets you call the shots. With space for up to 13 guests, it's ideal for families, birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette groups, or just friends wanting to get away from the crowds. Your captain knows these waters like the back of their hand and will work with you to create the perfect itinerary based on weather conditions and what your group is in the mood for.

What to Expect on the Water

This isn't your typical cookie-cutter boat tour – it's whatever you want it to be. Start your morning with some world-class snorkeling around the artificial reefs, where the water stays crystal clear and marine life thrives year-round. If your crew is more about soaking up sun and socializing, your captain can take you to the famous sandbars where you can drop anchor, wade in waist-deep water, and let the kids hunt for shells while adults enjoy cold drinks. The beauty of St. Petersburg's coastal waters is the variety – one minute you're exploring mangrove tunnels, the next you're pulling up to waterfront restaurants accessible only by boat. Bar hopping by water hits different when you're cruising between iconic spots like The Hurricane Seafood Restaurant or Rick's on the River. Your captain handles navigation and knows which places offer the best dockside service, so you can focus on having a good time.

Gear Setup & Local Waters

Sea-N-Double Charters comes equipped with everything you need for a customer favorite experience on Tampa Bay. Snorkel gear is provided, including masks, fins, and snorkels sized for adults and kids. The boat carries safety equipment, shade options, and cooler space for your beverages and snacks. Since meals aren't included, most groups bring their own food and drinks – your captain can recommend the best spots to pick up supplies before departure. The waters around St. Petersburg offer incredible variety, from the shallow grass flats perfect for shelling to deeper channels where dolphins regularly cruise by. Water depth varies dramatically depending on where you go, with some sandbars sitting in just two feet of water while nearby channels drop to 15-20 feet. The boat's shallow draft design lets you access areas larger vessels can't reach, opening up secluded spots that feel like your own private paradise. Keep in mind there's a fuel surcharge if your group wants to venture outside the standard geographical area, but your captain will discuss options and pricing upfront.

Marine Life You'll Encounter

St. Petersburg's waters host an amazing variety of marine life that makes every snorkeling stop an adventure. Bottlenose dolphins are practically guaranteed sightings here – they're curious, playful, and often approach boats, especially around the channels near Fort De Soto Park. These intelligent mammals hunt in pods and aren't shy about showing off their acrobatic skills. Spring through fall offers the best dolphin activity, though they're residents year-round. Manatees frequent the warmer shallow areas, particularly during cooler months when they seek refuge in heated discharge areas from power plants. These gentle giants can reach 10-12 feet long and weigh over 1,000 pounds, but they're completely harmless and magical to observe in their natural habitat. The artificial reefs around St. Pete attract schools of snapper, grouper, and colorful tropical fish that make snorkeling feel like swimming in an aquarium. Tarpon, known as the "silver king," roll through these waters during their spring and summer migration – seeing a 100+ pound tarpon surface near your boat creates memories that last forever. Sea turtles, rays, and countless species of coastal birds add to the wildlife show that unfolds naturally throughout your day on the water.
