Once you get past the overwhelming sales pitch of the company's other products and the sullen nature of the land staff you board a older but efficient bait to sail out to the gulf. It's a nice ride out thru the canal into the gulf, the boats captain has lots of information of the area and it was a great day to be on the water. A stop at shell island was the highlight of the trip for us, and there's no disappointment here, it is full of shells, your only there for a half hour, I could have stayed the day!! But back in the boat hunting for dolphin sightings and back to port. All in all a fun day, nothing fancy but worth the price.
Dredging barge on the river.
Pelicans waiting for supper
We booked a 4pm cruise this morning on line. When we went to check in at 330 the lady out front in the booth told us it was too early. We went to look around the sponge dock store and asked the cashier at the store when was a good time to check in for the 4pm cruise. She said that we had to go back to the booth. After walking back across the parking lot to the booth we were told that they did not have us on their reservation list and were over booked. I showed her the email confirmation and she told me we had to wait until 6 to go. I asked for a refund and left. Do not book this cruise! Go right down the street to Odyssey on the same side of the road. They are so much nicer!
This was worth what I paid for! Ticket was $25 or so. We did get to luckily see a dolphin or two (it's not guaranteed) and we got to go to a small island and go searching for sea shells. Guides were nice, had a good sense of humor etc. They offer snacks and beverages (including alcoholic Kinky styles) on the boat. I would like to bring more with next time. Took around an hour and a half
Beach and basket
We took 2 tours on this same boat on the same day. The first was a regular dolphin tour. We stopped at the Anclote island for 30 min. And found a basket full of amazing shells! The 2nd was a sunset cruise which was also amazing!! The captain took the time to position the boat so everyone could have a chance to take plenty of pictures of the beautiful sunset. We saw multiple dolphins on both tours, the captain made sure to stop and make every effort to get the dolphins to interact so everyone had the chance to see them. The crew was so awesome, informative, down to earth and treated us like vip. Bonus was the full bar on the boat and prices were not bad at all! WELL worth the money!!!!!

Great trip today, July 28, on the Sunset cruise. Captains we're great, lots of dolphins, and we founds a lot of shells on the island. We even found a sponge! Complete terrific experience!!
Just walking by when I asked one of the guys selling tickets if he had a good story to go with the arm in his sling. Sure enough, the story was great! Hadn't booked the cruise but told me they had 1 seat left. I said "is there drinks on the boat?" "Sure is!!" He said. "I'm in!" Pretty affordable for a 2 hour sunset cruise. I was not disappointed! The views were amazing and the guide was pretty funny. The beach was nice and very private. Didn't see any dolphins but that's ok, I'm not a dolphin whisperer anyway. Group was lively and I didn't feel out of place even though I was traveling alone. Definitely recommend. The bouncer/bartender makes a mean margarita!
Both captains were amazing and very friendly! We had a great time watching the dolphins and picking up shells on the beach.
Had a blast! The two man crew were great: friendly, extremely informative and fun! Beautiful scenery and hunting for shells on one of the many islands a hoot! Even saw three dolphins, two adults and baby. Loved every minute of this two hour excursion. A must for and visitor of Tarpon Springs.
Customer BEWARE! Booked a trip which should go out to the sandbar so we could hunt for shells. The boat had a problem with an engine before got to the sandbar so they said we couldn't do it and headed back to the dock. In the end, the only refund they offered was $3.00 off your NEXT trip with them. Seriously? So if you aren't from the area you are just screwed. Apparently they don't care about customer satisfaction. They could have at least offered one free drink for everyone on the boat or some gesture like that instead of just trying to get more business for themselves. This certainly isn't the kind of service that encourages me to book with them again.
Our family had a great time on this cruise. Captain Angelo is a great tour guide. They took their time and purposefully would chase the dolphins to make sure we got what we paid for. Our favorite part was when they took us to an island to collect sea shells. Not only did we pick up shells but also sea sponges! I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody.

St. Nicholas Boat Line
Let St. Nicholas Boat Line take you on a fun 40-minute cruise on the Anclote River. As you travel, your Captain relates the history of the area sponge diving industry, providing a hands-on display of the various types of sponges and their uses.
The highlight of the tour is watching a sponge diver in a traditional inflated sponge diving suit descend from the boat into the river. You can watch as he moves quickly across the river floor. He harvests a live sponge and returns with it to the boat. It's a fun time and a great educational experience for children from pre-school and up.

Friendly and Informative
Brought family from Massachusetts to the sponge docks, loved this boat ride, very calm and relaxing. The trip was about an hour and it was very inexpensive. The gentlemen were very friendly and informative! It's always great to see a business get handed down through the generations, I always feel the passion and love they share for what they do.

Just the right amount of time. About 40 mins. Captain told us history of sponge diving Carol B., Trip Advisor, 5 out of 5 January 21, 2013
Come experience a little bit of the Old World in the New World.
In 1905, Greek spongers came to Tarpon Springs, Florida, to develop the world's largest sponge industry. By the mid-1930s, there were 200 boats working the Gulf of Mexico from as far north as the Appalachicola and as far south as Key West. They were harvesting $3 million worth of sponges.
Beginning in the late 1930s and lasting through the mid-1940s, a bacterial blight killed the sponges and the industry was destroyed. Today, Tarpon Springs enjoys a rebirth of the sponge beds, making it the world's largest sponge producing industry.
The St. Nicholas Boat Line was established in 1924 by Captain Michael J. Billiris and continues to be operated by the Billiris family. It is the second oldest attraction in the State of Florida. The St.Nicholas VII is a US Coast Guard Certified Vessel.
Sponge Industry
The St. Nicholas Boat Line is a Sponge Diving Exhibition tour. The St. Nicholas VII departs about every 40 minutes for a round-trip cruise through the Historic Sponge Docks of Tarpon Springs on the Anclote River.
The tour includes a narrative of the history of sponge diving in Tarpon Springs. You will be treated to a demonstration of sponge harvesting with a live diver in traditional diving equipment.
You'll also have an opportunity to meet the diver and your captain and ask questions
Tickets may be purchased at our convenient ticket booth located on the dock near our vessel, just across from the Sponge Exchange.
Tour Rates are Available. For additional information, call (727) 942-6425.
Adults (Ages 13 - 64) - $16.00

Anclote Key State Park is actually a chain of islands located in the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of the Anclote River. It consists of Anclote Key, Three Rookers Island, and the North Sandbar. Anclote Key is 440-acre nature preserve. Three Rooker is a bird sanctuary.
Because these two areas are nature preserves, no dogs are allowed. The North Sandbar is small sandy spit where fido is welcome.
For all of these areas you are encouraged to leave them as you found them. Take your trash with you and help us preserve these water wonderlands for future generations.
The Lighthouse
Come and visit the island by boat with Odyssey Cruises on our Dolphin tour , narrated by a certified naturalist. We cruise several times each day with a stop on the key to provide passengers with time to explore, look for shells or splash around in the water. 1-2 times per month we also offer a shelling cruise with a special 2.5 hour trip to the island just to look for shells. For more information visit our booking tab or contact us. We do not allow guests to take any live shells on our boat.

Outstanding Orlando Boat Tours (2024)
Orlando boat tours are a fantastic activity in Central Florida, no matter the type of boating adventure you choose.
Some of the suggestions below are full-day tours, and others take mere hours. But all are a great way to spend your time in order to enjoy the Sunshine State’s beautiful scenery. And that could mean a wild ride in the Everglades or sailing sunset cruises on one of the Orlando area's attractive lakes.
We are sharing the best Orlando boat tours – private and group options – including scenic pontoon boat tours, airboat rides, kayaking, canoeing, sunset sails, and even boat rentals at Walt Disney World.

- Book a sunset sailing tour in Orlando . It's our favorite type of boat tour, and Florida sunsets often show off for an audience!
- Pin the image in this box or flip this post to Flipboard to save it for later.
- See what to bring for Orlando boat tours so you are prepared to deal with the Florida bugs!
Orlando Airboat Rides
One of the things Florida is most known for is its famous airboat tours. Sign up for this fun adventure whether you’re in Fort Lauderdale or Miami, within Everglades National Park, or Orlando on Shingle Creek, on the headwaters of the Florida Everglades.
You won’t soon forget an exciting airboat ride when you visit the Orlando area, with a chance to see Bald Eagles and other endemic tropical birds, alligators, and crocodiles (maybe even a baby alligator).
Airboat rides are particularly popular amongst nature lovers. These special boats allow you to glide on the unique marshes and swampland of the Central Florida area. We thoroughly enjoyed our Florida airboat experience.
Sign up for a 90-minute fun and educational Orlando airboat tour to encounter the real Florida with experienced captains. Alternatively, secure your spot for a 1-hour sunset airboat tour and hope for one of Florida’s famous colorful sunsets.
Most airboat tours take place rain or shine. Just in case, we recommend traveling to Florida with a poncho or thin raincoat of some sort. Be sure to check in for your tour at least 30 minutes before the experience.
Orlando Boat Tour on an Airboat with Transportation
This tour includes pick up and drop off in Central Florida (including designated Disney World and Universal hotels), a BBQ lunch, a printed photo, and admission to their animal rescue Wildlife Park, where you can see birds, big cats, and reptiles.
The entire experience – from transportation to the boat ride – lasts around 7 hours, including the drive to and from the Everglades area. The Florida Everglades are approximately 45 minutes to an hour's drive each way from Orlando. Choose from a 30-minute or 60-minute airboat ride when you book your experience .
Orlando Sailing Tours
How about enjoying Orlando’s lakes with wind power? Sailing tours are the perfect way to glide on the water. And a sunset sail is incredibly romantic, to boot!
Private Morning Sail
Set sail on a 2-hour private sailing tour, starting at 10:00 am. Adventure awaits on Lake Fairview for up to four guests.
This area is just north of College Park near downtown Orlando and 15 minutes from Orlando’s Lieu Gardens. Don’t forget to bring towels if you want, though water is provided (and lakes are calm anyway, so you shouldn’t really get wet!).
Advanced reservations are required.
Private Lake Sunset Sail
Sail on Lake Fairview, approximately 10 minutes from downtown Orlando, 30-35 minutes from the Disney theme parks (including the Disney Springs area), and 25 minutes from Universal.
This 2-hour private Orlando boat tour can fit up to four people, and they allow you to bring your own snacks and beverages onboard. We recommend bringing a bottle of wine or champagne!
We recommend bringing along a wine tumbler set for your sailboat adventure!
Kayaking Tours
Connect with nature from the comfort of a kayak and get in some exercise too. Orlando boat tour options for kayaking are plentiful.
Kayak with Manatees
Head 45 minutes north of Orlando for your chance to kayak with manatees! These cute and friendly mammals are famous in the Sunshine State, where they come to enjoy the warm water for the winter.
Whether you’re a novice kayaking trying it for the first time, or an experienced pro, this tour is for you if you want to see a plethora of wildlife.
Check out this popular tour with 5-star reviews
Glass Bottom Boat Kayak Tours
If you want to see the fish below the water’s surface without snorkeling, sign up for a glass-bottom kayak tour. See through the bottom of the boat on this Orlando boat tour and have the chance to view the colorful fish and marine plant life beneath you.
Try a Rock Springs guided kayak eco-tour as you glide on the crystal-clear water for two hours. You’ll learn about the local ecosystem, stop for photos, and have the opportunity to swim in the springs. Opt to jump into the water from a rope swing for a thrill during this adventure.
You can also opt for a sunset tour in a glass-bottom kayak . Paddle through the Winter Park Chain of Lakes and canals in a peaceful setting. Your knowledgeable guide will point out interesting nature homes along the way and share some history of the area. You’ll also be able to stop for photos where you like!
This tour is likely to sell out: Reserve Now
Winter Park Evening Clear Kayak Glow in the Dark Tour
If you want to add a fun element to your kayaking adventure, sign up for a Winter Park kayak tour at night with a glow-in-the-dark kayak. The boats are illuminated with nighttime lighting!
They will surely be a good photo opp and fun outing as the lights make the water beneath you glow.
Another great option is this Neon Night Glow Paddleboard or Clear Kayak experience on Lake Ivanhoe.
This unique boat tour allows you to see Orlando’s skyline at night as you paddle along with the help of your guides, the moonlight, and the colorful lights beneath your kayak or paddleboard.
Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour
One of our favorite Orlando boat tours is in Winter Park. It was established in the 1930s, decades before Walt Disney World opened in Lake Buena Vista.
This pontoon boat tour starts near the well-known Park Avenue area. Set out on your scenic cruise from Lake Osceola to the Winter Park Chain of Lakes as your guide takes you through the manmade canals.
Sail past stunning homes in Winter Park, where you will have breathtaking views of the opulent private homes in the area (which is one of the reasons we enjoy the boat tour).
You will have a chance to see wonderful some of Florida’s beautiful birds, like Blue Herons and large cranes, as you travel on several lakes.
Each boat holds a maximum of 18 passengers. Be sure to bring cash or a check to buy your tickets because credit cards are not accepted. We advise purchasing tickets in the morning on weekends, even if you plan on going later in the day. It’s a very popular tour, and tickets often sell out quickly.
Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour is closed on Christmas Day. Otherwise, tours leave daily on the hour, starting at 10:00 am. The last tour is at 4:00 pm.
Day Trip Boat Tours from Orlando
While the Orlando boat tours listed above are within 30 minutes, on average, from Orlando, it’s worth mentioning there are more boat tour options nearby within a 2-hour drive. Here are some additional Central Florida boat tour options.
Mount Dora Lake Tours
One of our favorite destinations from Central Florida is 45 minutes north: the quaint town of Mount Dora . There’s so much to see and do there in the afternoon or morning; a boat tour is the best way to extend your trip to a whole day.
Take a 2-hour pontoon boat tour with a departure point at the historic hotel, the Lakeside Inn. Enjoy your leisurely cruise around Lake Dora and The Harris Chain of Lakes, including the famed Dora Canal.
The all-weather 25’ boats can cruise rain or shine thanks to their retractable clear covers for the sides of the boat. Choose from one of two daytime tours, or their third option to cruise during sunset.
Clearwater Beach with Dolphin Encounter Cruise
This 12-hour full-day tour begins with pick-up at 7:30 am. You’ll head west of Orlando to the popular Florida destination (Clearwater Beach), where you will take a cruise to encounter bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat.
While this means that you aren’t guaranteed to spot dolphins, your tour guide will do his or her very best to find them. You may see these beautiful mammals up close by the boat or further in the distance if they appear in the ocean. Part of the fun is the anticipation.
A one-hour dolphin tour boat ride is sandwiched between hours of free time on a Gulf Coast beach. For only $10 more, you can purchase a wristband for the boat ride that allows you to have unlimited beer, wine, and vodka punch.
Pickup and drop off are included at one of three major locations of your choice (Disney areas included). This means that all you have to do is sign up for the tour and be at that location for pick-up time.
Choose from the three pick-up locations listed below:
- Walt Disney World area, on Epcot Resorts Blvd. (northern area of the parks)
- Walt Disney World area, at Maingate Lakeside Resort in Kissimmee (area of the Disney World theme parks that is further south)
- International Drive (close to Universal) at Senor Frogs
Clear Canoe Boat Tour Near Orlando at Silver Springs
This clear canoe boat tour is approximately halfway between Orlando and Gainesville at Silver Springs. The drive is approximately an hour and 45 minutes from downtown Orlando.
You’ll do a self-guided tour after the kayak company representative meets you and gives you a laminated map and some brief instructions. Paddle near Cypress Trees and see turtles, ducks, birds, and a chance to see manatees during the winter season, when they swim to Florida’s warm waters.
Dan and I often like to explore an area freely, on our own. Maybe you’re the same way! If so, this is a great tour for you in the Orlando area, as long as you can rent a car to get to the meeting point or take a taxi/Uber or Lyft there.
Orlando Boat Tours at Walt Disney World
Did you know that you can rent motorized boats at Disney World? It’s one of the best things to do at Walt Disney World, besides the parks.
Rent a Sun Tracker® Pontoon boat by the half-hour for up to 10 people. You can also opt to kayak or canoe from Fort Wilderness by the hour.
One of the most singular boat tours in Orlando, or perhaps anywhere, is an Amphicar boat tour. Be a passenger and the envy of all onlookers in a cool convertible car that drives right into the water. This experience is available at Disney Springs restaurant, The Boathouse.
Lastly, you can book a specialty cruise to see the fireworks. You don’t even have to be a hotel guest to do so! Snacks and soft drinks are included in a memorable cruise on a 25’ boat.
You can also request for a festive banner and/or balloons to be set up on the boat, which is included in the cost (request at the time of booking). It’s a great thing to do for you and your partner or up to 10 guests total, whether a proposal, anniversary treat, or family reunion.
What to Bring for Orlando Boat Tours
Florida's heat can be brutal, depending on the time of year. No matter the month, you definitely need to protect your skin from the sun. The sun in FL is strong, year-round.
Be sure to pack the following if you’ll be on the water in sunny Florida:
- Refillable water bottle (the ice will stay intact for hours in the MiiR bottle, our favorite insulated wide-mouth bottle)
- Reef-safe sunscreen
- SPF lip balm
- Eco-friendly bathing suit
- Rash guard
Conclusion for Best Orlando Boat Tours
Whether you want to captain a boat yourself, row your way through Florida’s waters in a kayak, see gators on an educational airboat ride, or go on a romantic sailboat cruise around one of Central Florida’s lakes, an Orlando boat is a wonderful Florida activity.
It will connect you with nature, get you out in fresh air, and allow your body to absorb vitamin D in the Florida sunshine. Sign up for an Orlando boat tour and explore this southern state in a unique and adventurous way.
