Private boat trips from Clearwater Beach

Planning boat trips at Clearwater Beach that are yours alone? A Well Played yacht is private to your group, with a licensed captain, crew and fuel included. You are not buying a seat on a large shared boat; you are renting the whole yacht for the day or evening, and the pace is yours.

Private boat trips on Clearwater's water

Clearwater Beach is one of the most recognizable stretches of the Gulf coast, and seeing it from the water is a different experience from the sand. A private yacht lets you take your time: swim, eat, talk and watch the shoreline go by without a crowd or a fixed timetable.

The office confirms your meeting point before the day, so you know exactly where to arrive. Tell us where you are staying and how many of you there are, and we suggest the yacht that fits.

Where a Clearwater yacht charter can go

The captain decides where the boat anchors on the day, based on wind, tide and traffic, and chooses a spot that is safe and comfortable. These are the places guests most often ask about:

• Clearwater Beach and Sand Key, for the long view of the coastline and the water close to shore.
• Caladesi Island and Honeymoon Island, two of the area's best-known barrier islands, which are popular for a swim and a slow afternoon.
• Clearwater Harbor, the calmer water behind the barrier islands, useful when the Gulf is lively.
• The Gulf at sunset, which is the reason many groups book. See our private sunset cruise page for how an evening works.

Nothing here is fixed. Your captain reads the conditions and recommends the best version of the day.

Staying at a Clearwater Beach hotel

Many of our guests are staying on the beach, at places such as the Sandpearl, Opal Sands, the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach or the Wyndham Grand. These hotels are not partners of ours; we name them because guests stay there. When you enquire, give us the name of your hotel and your dates, and we arrange the day around where you are.

Private yacht, not a shared boat

Large shared boats run to a schedule and carry many groups at once. A Well Played boat rental is the opposite: one group, one yacht, one captain. You decide when to leave, how long to stay and what to do. If you would like dinner afloat, our private dinner cruise page explains how a chef joins you, and the office quotes chef and catering separately.

What is included

Every charter includes the captain, crew and fuel. Each yacht's page shows how many guests she takes, so you can match the boat to your group before you ask.
