Get ready for the perfect Gulf Coast day aboard Aquaholic Charters' 28-foot double-decker Tritoon Funship! This private cruise adventure gives you and up to 5 friends exclusive access to Venice's pristine waters, complete with a built-in waterslide that'll have everyone from kids to grandparents lining up for another go. Whether you're looking to celebrate something special or just escape the everyday grind, this cruise delivers pure fun on Florida's stunning coastline.
Your private cruise takes you beyond the busy beaches to explore Venice's hidden gems along the Gulf Coast. Captain Brad and his crew know these waters like the back of their hand, navigating to secluded sandbars where you can drop anchor and dive into crystal-clear shallows. The double-decker setup gives you options – sun worshippers can catch rays on the upper deck while others relax in the shaded lower level. That onboard waterslide isn't just for show either; it's become the star attraction for families who want to add some splash to their cruise experience. You'll cruise past mangrove-lined shores where dolphins love to play in the boat's wake, and your captain will cut the engine when wildlife appears so everyone can grab photos and soak in the moment. The pace stays relaxed throughout your trip, with plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and just floating around those famous Florida sandbars.
The 28-foot Tritoon Funship is built for comfort and entertainment, featuring spacious seating areas that easily accommodate your group of six without feeling cramped. The double-decker design maximizes your space and views – you can watch for marine life from the elevated upper deck or stay cool in the shade below. All safety equipment comes standard, including life jackets sized for everyone in your party. Your crew provides complimentary water and sodas throughout the cruise, and you're welcome to bring your own snacks and adult beverages to customize the experience. The boat's shallow draft lets you access areas bigger vessels can't reach, including those picture-perfect sandbars where the water stays waist-deep for hundreds of yards. Snorkeling gear is available for anyone wanting to explore underwater, and the crew knows the best spots for finding shark teeth and observing sea grass beds where marine life congregates.
"Brad was a great tour guide and this charter boat excursion was fantastic! We got the double decker boat with the water slide, and the kids had SO much fun! (Well, so did the adults) 😊 Thanks for a day filled with great Florida memories!" - Jaime
"We had a great time on our adventure cruise today! Loved the scenery, enjoyed some time sleuthing and swimming at Stump Pass. We loved the slide off the rooftop and seeing the dolphins. Brad and Yvette are the perfect hosts and they catered to the grandkids. Thanks for the great time today! Mike" - Mike
"My 5-year old gave the boat ride a 1,000/10. We had the best time with Capt. Brad, his wife and their adorable pup on our boat tour. Very knowledgeable and intent on giving us the best experience. We followed some manatees, found some shark teeth, saw some amazing birds and even a dolphin. Over all it was a great experience that we look forward to doing again in the future." - Megan
Bottlenose dolphins are the stars of Venice waters, and spotting them during your cruise is practically guaranteed. These playful marine mammals love riding the bow waves of boats, often putting on impromptu acrobatic shows as they surf alongside your vessel. The best dolphin activity happens during morning and late afternoon cruises when they're actively feeding in the shallow grass flats. Watch for their distinctive dorsal fins cutting through the water, and don't be surprised if curious individuals approach the boat – they're naturally social and seem to enjoy human interaction as much as we enjoy watching them.
West Indian manatees frequent Venice's warm coastal waters year-round, with peak numbers arriving during cooler months from November through March. These gentle giants can reach lengths of 10-12 feet and weigh over 1,000 pounds, but they move through the water with surprising grace. Your captain knows the manatee hotspots around Venice, particularly the warm-water refuges where they gather during temperature drops. Seeing a manatee surface just feet from your boat creates magical moments that stick with guests long after their cruise ends – there's something almost mystical about making eye contact with these ancient marine mammals.
The Venice area hosts diverse coastal bird species that add constant entertainment to your cruise experience. Great blue herons stand motionless in the shallows like feathered statues before striking at fish with lightning speed. Osprey patrol overhead with their distinctive fishing techniques, diving talons-first into the water to snatch unsuspecting prey. Pelican squadrons cruise in perfect formation just inches above the waves, demonstrating flight precision that would impress any air show pilot. During winter months, you might spot magnificent frigatebirds soaring high above or rare roseate spoonbills with their distinctive pink coloring and spatula-shaped bills working the mudflats.
This top-rated private cruise experience sells out quickly, especially during peak season when families flock to Florida's Gulf Coast. With just six spots available per trip, you're guaranteed personalized attention and plenty of room to spread out and enjoy yourselves. The combination of wildlife viewing, swimming, snorkeling, and that crowd-pleasing waterslide creates the perfect recipe for a day everyone in your group will remember. Captain Brad and his crew have built their reputation on delivering authentic Florida adventures that go beyond typical tourist offerings – they're locals who genuinely love sharing their backyard paradise with visitors. Don't let
