Built for relaxing, celebrating, and exploring the beautiful Gulf waters, our Sarasota boat charters charters give you a laid-back way to experience the coastline, sandbars, and sunsets that make this area famous.
Every charter with Siesta Funship is private, which means your group gets the boat to yourselves. You choose the vibe, and we handle the rest.
Spend the day anchored in shallow, crystal-clear water where you can swim, float, and relax with your group. Sarasota's sandbars are perfect for hanging out, listening to music, and soaking up the Florida sun.
Few places do sunsets like the Gulf Coast. Our sunset cruises are perfect for couples, families, or small groups looking to end the day on the water, with incredible views of the sky changing colors over the Gulf.
