Siesta Key Watersports Offers A Wide Selection Of Cruises
Our dolphin tours offer more than just sightings. They provide a chance to experience Siesta Key’s coastal environment in a way that is both engaging and educational.
Â
As you travel through local waterways, our captains share insight into the behaviors of bottlenose dolphins, the role of seagrass habitats, and the coastal ecosystem that supports marine life in this area. Guests gain a better understanding of how these waterways function and why they matter.
Â
Dolphin sightings are frequent, but no two trips are the same. Along the way, guests may also observe cownose rays and spotted eagle rays gliding through the water, along with coastal birds such as brown pelicans, ospreys, great egrets, great blue herons, and roseate spoonbills in their natural habitat.
Â
These tours are designed to allow wildlife to behave naturally, without feeding or chasing, while giving families and visitors a meaningful, real world connection to Sarasota’s coastal waterways.
Â
The experience begins the moment you leave the dock and continues throughout the entire trip. Guests not only leave with memories, but with a better understanding of the water, the wildlife, and how to be respectful stewards of this environment long after their visit.

“Fantastic experience with Siesta Key Watersports from booking to boarding and unboarding.
Chad and Corey were a fantastic team and very helpful as the Mrs has knee issues and struggled getting on the boat due to the extremely low Tides.
It was a very chilly morning yet they found us some active dolphins to see up close and get pictures of, pointed out the local wildlife and some celebrity houses along the route.
Very knowledgeable and attentive….we had a great time and highly recommend Siesta Key Watersports!”
