Boat on the Water

Whether looking for dolphins or a romantic sunset, Clearwater offers boating excursions for all interests. The shark-themed Mega Bite Dolphin Tour features a 40-foot boat that makes “mega” wakes dolphins love to play in. Sea Screamer offers dolphin and celebrity sightings mixed with a thrill-ride experience. Another popular favorite is the Pirate Cruise, which takes place on a custom pirate vessel.

To create a custom water adventure, rent a boat from Beach Motor Rentals or Dolphin Adventures and Boat Rentals, which also offers tugboat tours.

Sports and Fishing

Get into a giant inflatable bubble ball, and play bubble ball soccer with friends and family. This twist on soccer combines the fancy footwork with safe bouncy balls. Participants can play indoors or out, and check the schedule for open-play dates.

For sport or leisure, Clearwater attracts anglers of all ages. The Queen Fleet provides deep-sea fishing for the whole family, and is available for private charters or parties up to 150 people.
