About Your Trip

Hop aboard with Captain Joseph and discover the natural beauty of St. Pete like never before!

This 4-hour eco tour and sandbar cruise is all about soaking up the sunshine, exploring Florida’s pristine coastal waters, and kicking back in paradise. Whether you're cruising through the mangrove-lined channels, spotting dolphins and seabirds in their natural habitat, or anchoring at one of the area’s secluded sandbars for a swim, Captain Joseph delivers the perfect mix of exploration and relaxation.

You’ll cruise in comfort aboard Captain Joseph’s 25-foot C Hawk, a versatile and spacious boat built for both adventure and leisure. With a custom rebuild in 2019, she’s equipped with a clean onboard toilet discreetly tucked within the console—complete with over 6 feet of headroom. This means you can stay comfortable throughout the trip, even while enjoying time off the beaten path.

Expect to glide across shallow grass flats and into quiet coves where you’ll learn about the vibrant marine ecosystems, local wildlife, and the unique geography of the Tampa Bay area. Along the way, Captain Joseph is happy to share his deep knowledge of the region, point out wildlife, and answer any questions you have about the area’s natural wonders.

Make sure to pack a cooler, plenty of sunscreen, and your favorite snacks and drinks. Don’t forget a hat and a towel for the sandbar stop—where you can take a dip, walk the flats, or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Come experience the natural side of St. Pete on a relaxing and educational eco tour with Captain Joseph. Whether you're looking to explore, unwind, or both, this trip is the perfect way to reconnect with the water and create lasting memories!
