About This Tour
We start our day meeting at the Manasota beach boat ramp. We then board our 24' pontoon boat. The boat is fully equipped with Bluetooth radio, pool noodles, a lilly pad mat, snorkel equipment, fishing poles, sand sifters, sand toys, football, frisbee, sand chairs, a tent, & a cooler. From there we take a 1 hour cruise south on lemon bay. Our first stop is Boca Grande sand bar. Here you can swim, play and fish at one of the most popular sand bars in the area. There are sand dollars, star fish, lightning welks, and dolphin galore at this spot. Next stop is Little Gasparilla Island. This is a great spot to set up beach chairs and a tent and have lunch. We also recommend using the sand sifter to hunt for sharks teeth. The views of the bay and gulf from this location are absolutely magical. Finally we board the boat and head north to stump pass state park. This is a very popular boating destination were you can beach, sand bar swim and play in the inlet waters. Last stop is the boat ramp.
