The Clearwater Beach Day Trip is a wonderful way to enjoy Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast, and you can choose the experience that suits you best, including options like the Clearwater Beach Day Trip with Captain Memo’s Pirate Cruise, the Dolphin Encounter Cruise, the Sea Screamer Boat Ride, or the Aquarium Ticket. After pickup or meeting in Central Florida, you are transported to the West Coast to discover Clearwater Beach, known for its powdery white sand, clear waters, and lively beach atmosphere. Once you arrive, you can start enjoying the beach, relaxing by the shore, swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, or strolling along the promenade and pier while taking in the coastal views.
If you choose the pirate cruise option, your adventure continues aboard Captain Memo’s Pirate Ship with the Jolly Roger flag flying high. The boat sails out into the Gulf of Mexico with reggae and steel band music, creating a fun mood. Children and adults alike can enjoy the playful pirate theme as spirited pirates tend the full-service bar. This boating adventure adds excitement and a touch of fantasy to your beach day, and after the cruise, you can once again enjoy the sun and water at Clearwater Beach before returning. If you choose the dolphin encounter cruise, you head to the Clearwater Beach Marina to board the Tropics Boat. The cruise takes you through Clearwater Pass and into the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico in search of wild bottlenose dolphins, with guaranteed sightings. Onboard, families can enjoy Tommy the Turtle activities for kids and music from the sound system while relaxing and watching for dolphins.
With the Sea Screamer boat ride option, you travel to Clearwater Beach in a comfortable vehicle and then board one of the largest speedboats in the United States. The Sea Screamer roars across the Gulf, offering thrilling views of the coastline as it passes through Clearwater Pass and into open water. After this high-energy ride, you are free to explore Clearwater Beach at your own pace, browse shops and cafés along the Beach Walk promenade, relax on the sand, or cool off with a swim in the clear water. If you select the aquarium option, you enjoy time at Clearwater Beach before or after visiting the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. This unique facility focuses on rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine life, as well as education, research, and conservation. You also enjoy views of Clearwater Bay from the harbor view and stranding decks. After your aquarium visit, you spend more free time on Clearwater Beach, swimming, walking along the promenade and pier, or simply relaxing by the Gulf before returning to Orlando with memories of a fun and scenic coastal day.
