Private Keys and Sandbars: A Six‑Hour Charter from Osprey.
Suncoast Adventure Tours runs a Full Day custom destination charter out of Osprey: a six‑hour private boat for up to six guests that can be tailored to fishing, snorkeling or a day on a tropical sandbar. The operator supplies the vessel and captain, offers water and soft drinks, and encourages guests to bring their own gear for a packed day on nearby keys and passes.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Pick the Pass or Sandbar
The Full Day charter is a custom destination option: choose from nearby stops including Siesta Key (Sand Dollar Island), Jewfish Key and Longboat Pass, Midnight Pass, Stump Pass or Gasparilla to tailor a day of snorkeling, fishing, or lounging on a sandbar.
A Private, Fully Equipped Charter
These charters are exclusive to your party — the boat and captain are yours — and the vessel is outfitted for fishing and snorkeling so you can bring everything needed for the day and let the captain handle the navigation.
Six Hours of Beach, Water Toys and Relaxation
Opt for a Half Day or a Full Day; on the Full Day (six hours) you can anchor on a tropical sandbar, pack a lunch, and use water toys while water and soft drinks are provided aboard.
What the day feels like
How the Day Unfolds
You and up to five guests take exclusive control of the boat and choose the destination — whether that’s a sandbar for sun and water toys, a reef for snorkeling, or a pass for fishing. The captain pilots, the boat provides shade and basic refreshments, and you bring the specialized gear: towels, snorkel or fishing equipment, and a lunch if you like.
