• Don’t litter or throw waste overboard - take rubbish home and dispose of it responsibly

• buy local and sustainable food products

However long you’re sailing for, a little goes a long way. Read more about responsible boating.

Things to do in St. Petersburg, FL by Boat

St. Pete Beach is the perfect place to rent a boat in Florida. There's a fair bit to see when you’re walking around St. Petersburg, but the real action is on the water. Enjoy the Beach Life The beaches in St. Pete are truly world-class. Dock up your boat rental at some of the various superb beaches, such as Bahia Beach where you can take some time to lie back and soak up the Floridian rays. Get your Fishing Gear Together When it comes to fishing just outside big urban areas, it's normally not the best spot. In the water around St Petersburg however, there is a great range of marine reserve areas that are quiet and have an abundance of fish. Have your Camera at the Ready There are loads of great wildlife to take note of and photograph in the nature preserves that are dotted around here. Seabirds, eagles, and various fauna that roam by the waterside.

Things to Do in St. Petersburg by Boat

Visit Egmont Key National Wildlife Refuge

Just beyond the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and outside of Tampa Bay, the former military base has become a 280-acre state park and wildlife refuge and is home to a wide variety of birds, tortoises, sea turtles, and much more. 

Only accessible by ferry or private boat, the island also has a rich history with ruins left from Fort Dade and a 150-year-old lighthouse. Although boats are not allowed to beach, visitors can anchor and walk ashore to enjoy the pristine beaches, hiking trails, and unspoiled natural beauty.

It's important to remember that pets are not allowed on the island due to the bird sanctuaries and other protected species, and there are no facilities available so it is important to bring plenty of fresh water and sunscreen.

• Location:  Google Maps Link
• Closest boat ramp : Fort DeSoto Boat Ramp, Point Pinellas, Maximo Boat Ramp Free
• Lat/Long : 27.58860° N, -82.76198° W

Visit Bean Point Beach

Boaters leaving Tampa Bay to cruise out the Gulf of Mexico pass Anna Maria Island to the south. At the northern tip of the barrier island sits Bean Point Beach, one of the area's most beautiful beaches and the perfect place for an afternoon getaway or a day in the sun.

Although it is not remote or uninhabited, the white sands and turquoise waters make Bean Point Beach a popular attraction. Boaters can anchor up and wade ashore, where it is possible to watch manatees swim past while lounging in the sand, with access to nearby restaurants and other facilities within fairly easy reach. 

No matter what you plan to do once you get there, remember to take plenty of fresh water and sunscreen along to help make your day in the sun a good one.

Fish in the Gulf or Tampa Bay

With quick, easy access to either Tampa Bay or the Gulf of Mexico, St. Petersburg offers anglers a variety of inshore and offshore fishing opportunities. Well-known for the size and number of tarpon in the area, Tampa Bay offers great fishing when it might be too rough to run out to the deeper water in search of big fish. The Bay is also a great place to fish for redfish, snook, and many other species.

Offshore in the Gulf's deep waters, mackerel, shark, amberjack, mahi-mahi, tuna, and sailfish are common catches, although there are lots of grouper and snapper waiting on the bottom as well. Whether hunting out in the deep or keeping close to home, St. Petersburg offers some of the best fishing on Florida's West Coast.  

Fishing Offshore

Target species : mahi-mahi, tuna, shark, amberjack, king mackerel, sailfish

Seasonality : St. Petersburg offers great fishing all year long. However, some species are more active during certain times of the year, so check local resources for more info.  

Boat selection : The ride out into the Gulf may be longer depending on the desired type of fishing, so newer, faster center consoles and comfortable sportfishing boats are the most popular.

Fishing Inshore

• Target Species: s nook, spotted trout, tarpon, redfish, tripletail
• Seasonality:  There are fish biting in St. Petersburg all year long, although some species, such as tarpon, are best caught at certain times of the year. Check local resources for information on your favorite catch.

Boat Selection: Center consoles, runabouts, dual consoles, flats skiffs, pontoon boats 

Where to Go Boating in St. Petersburg

Cruise Tampa Bay

At 400 square miles, Tampa Bay offers boaters plenty of places to go for a great day on the water. Whether fishing, heading to a favorite beach, or just going for a lazy cruise in the sun, there is plenty of open water and great places to anchor up.

Tampa Bay has popular parks and destinations like Egmont Key National Wildlife Refuge and Shell Key Preserve. Other popular destinations for boaters interested in socializing are some of Tampa Bay's many sandbars, such as Pine Island, John's Pass, Fort De Soto, and others.

Tampa Bay has endless opportunities for cruising, fishing, sightseeing, and more. Just remember to bring plenty of fresh water and sunscreen to make it a perfect day on the water.

Explore Sarasota Bay

Just south of the mouth of Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay offers boaters with smaller vessels another place to explore. Although it is shallower than Tampa Bay, Sarasota Bay has well-marked channels and plenty of opportunities to fish, stop at a waterfront eatery, or gather with other like-minded boaters at a popular area sandbar. 

Fish in some hotspots around the bay, or snorkel in the shallows to enjoy the creatures hiding in the seagrass. Cruise slowly past luxury homes or take in the area's incredible natural beauty, including a wide variety of waterbirds. Manatees are also common in the area, so it's important to keep watch for these slow-moving creatures. 

Sarasota Bay is also known for its seagrass, so paying close attention to the marked channels is important to avoid fouling a propeller or damaging the ecosystem.  

Nearby Marinas:  Long Beach Shoreline Marina, Cabrillo Marina

Closest Boat Ramp: Sunset Aquatic Marina Boat Ramp, Granada Launch Ramp, South Shore Launch Ramp

Wake Zone:  No Wake Zones exist in all protected waterways like marinas and channels. Pay attention to warning signs and buoys and, above all else, be courteous to other boaters, swimmers, and the area wildlife. 

Tips: Long Beach has something for everyone. Cruise the harbor for a great view, haul or dock your boat and get out your walking shoes to take advantage of all Long Beach has to offer.

Lat/Long: 27.40136 N, -82.60934 W  

Cruise the Gulf of Mexico

Leave Tampa Bay, turn north, and cruise Florida's west coast toward Clearwater and beyond. Or, turn south, and head down to Sarasota, Siesta Key, and Venice. Although many of the coastal areas have been developed, there are parks, preserves and sections of beachfront where Florida's natural beauty is on display. 

 If the weather is good and going deeper is the plan, head straight out of Tampa Bay into the Gulf of Mexico in search of big fish, or stay closer to shore and enjoy the sunshine and privacy of the open water. 

Depending on the waves and wind, being out on the Gulf can make wakeboarding, water skiing, or any other activity fun. However, drifting along the coast for an afternoon can be a great way to relax in the sun.

It is especially important to carry plenty of fresh water, snacks, and sunscreen when running any distance from shore in case of a breakdown. 

Nearby Marinas:  The Tierra Verde Marina, Pass-A-Grille Marina, Cut's Edge Harbor Marina, Marina Bay of St Pete Beach 

Closest Boat Ramp: Fort DeSoto Boat Ramp, Point Pinellas, The Tierra Verde Marina, Cockroach Bay Boat Ramp

Tips: The weather can change quickly, and boats can break down. Ensure the vessel has been well maintained, all safety equipment is in good condition, flares are not expired, and communication equipment like VHF radios are tested often. Going for a ride is great, but getting home safely is still the highest priority.

Lat/Long: 27.56175 N, -82.79259 W

We are a top-rated boat rental and fishing charter company in the st. pete area., the boat was well equipped.

"We rented a tritoon from Lagoon Pontoons. Chase, the owner, and Bruce, the dock mate, were accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable of the area. The boat was well equipped and in great shape. Highly recommend renting from this company."

Glorious Family Day On The Water

"We had a glorious family day on the water thanks to Lagoon Pontoon's terrific boat, easy-in-easy-out, and efficient, practically no-wait process of getting us out of the marina on time. Excellent lunch-on-the-water recommendation. The pontoon has tons of storage for snacks and was great for diving and swimming in the crystalline aquamarine water as well pulling up to beaches to comb for shells and explore the flora. We will definitely repeat this experience with Lagoon Pontoon!"

“This is our second charter with Waypoints and we could not be more satisfied. Availability and pricing were clear, communication was prompt, and the staff was knowledgeable and nice. The Vinoy Marina is very convenient to a couple of airports so the crew had no problem coming in from all over the country. We think Waypoints is the best charter company available and already have another trip booked for January in St. Thomas!” Jim K.

“The entire team from the Waypoint dock manager, office staff, and dock hands as well as mechanics went above and beyond to make us have a great experience. Sailing Sereia changed me… it was such an incredible trip . With tears in my eyes, I left the boat and I have been counting the days until I can go back and sail her again. We loved all the crew we came in contact with – thank you again!” Constance M.

“We had a great experience with Waypoints Florida Yacht Charters! We spent four days in Florida on Leap of Faith and had a great time. It was our first sailing adventure. We explored Tampa Bay, Anna Maria, Egmont, Bradenton and Palma Sola. It was a great escape! “ Mark L.

Chris was a great communicator and the boat was exactly as listed. He’s very knowledgeable and explains things in an easy-to-understand manner. He was even nice enough to keep an eye on us and make sure we were headed where he recommended, as we decided to captain our own boat and weren’t from the area. Overall a great and easy experience.

THE BEST. If you are looking for a fun, chill & safe vessel with the most perfect boat this is the one! I was a little skeptical coming into this app & using this to book an experience but this was awesome! Will definitely be booking again! Thank you Captain Brian for taking us to the best places and being so professional and cool!

New Luxury Regal LX4 with licensed Captain!

Amazing, We had a great time no hiccups, returned in one piece life is great, especially when you get to ride on a beautiful boat with captain that makes safety a priority and knows how to have a good time out on the water, with great time management to get you where you want to go. I recommend bringing bug spray in case you want to go on an island or bring protective gear from the bugs as the islands are very beautiful but they can have some nasty bugs that bite.

100% great time! Communication was easy, rental process was simple, Frank hooked it up with a map of the bay that helped out a lot!, the boat was clean/ran well, sound system was a plus along with the cooler he had on board. Looking forward to working with Frank again in the future.

We had the best time with Kevin! We decided last minute we wanted to rent a boat, and Kevin was quick with his responses. We went out to a sandbar and had an absolute blast. Next time we are in Tampa, we will rent with him!

Wow! I could not have asked for a better owner. He was helpful, attentive, and a great host! He answered all of our questions and the boats were excellent. I'd love to book with him again. What stood out the most is when we got lost and needed help in the shallow water, He came to come and get us and helped us sooo much. I will be recommending Richard and his boats to all of my friends.

Weather in St. Pete

Always keep in mind the weather when planning your yacht rental experience. St. Petersburg is an ideal location for a yacht charter, either while on vacation or “staycation” because of the wonderful weather patterns. Located just above the tropical divide, the winters range in the 70°s and summers in the 90°s, so there's no wrong time to visit. While it may rain frequently in St. Pete, the storms are almost always scattered and very short in duration, oftentimes only lasting a few minutes and then the sun is shining again. If you're traveling to St. Pete in the cooler months of the year, be sure to pack some layers to wear while on your yachting trip, especially if you plan to go yachting in the evening. If you're traveling during the summer months, remember to stay hydrated and take some extra precautions when it comes to sun care.

When planning to rent a yacht in St. Pete, your Captain will keep an eye on the weather patterns. The Captain will warn you of any weather that could cause your yacht charter to be canceled, rescheduled, or departure time pushed back. Safety is always our top priority.

Anna Maria Island and Sarasota, Fl are the nearest yachting destinations. Tampa Bay has yachts available just 30 minutes from St. Pete.   Ft. Myers and Cape Coral are about an 2 hour drive south and located below the tropical divide for warmer weather in the winter months.

"Five of us spent the afternoon cruising and it was so much more than I expected. We saw dolphins, stopped at an island for swimming and shelling plus a great beach bar with live music. The whole experience was the best fun, the highlight of our vacation."

"Everything was better than the pictures! Sheryl and her husband are very nice and she is very quick to respond. Everyone had a great experience on their yacht! Highly recommend the experience!!"

We had never been on a yacht but it sounded like a fun thing to do. The day was just great, we saw things we had never seen before like manatees and even dolphins. We caught the sundown and got great pictures of the whole day, so glad we did this!

"We were in town for a business thing and found Miss Molly online. The five of us did the cruise (four hours) and had the best time with Captain Rich and Cheryl. They took us to all the great spots, swimming, cruising and a cool beach bar with a pool, live music and great food. Can't rave enough about how much fun we had, can't wait until our next trip to the area."

"We had a great time watching Dolphins play in the wake of the boat. We enjoyed the warm personalities of the owners during the sunset cruise and the four-hour excursion (snorkeling, beach, etc.) had I known it was going to be so fun, I would have booked for longer."

The boat was fast enough for my daughter to wakeboard and everyone was able to tube. We also tied up at shell island and had time to play. Bluetooth connection to the boat stereo lets you play your favorite sunshine playlist. 6 adults & 1 kid fit comfortably.

Our son was home from the army so we rented a 21’ deck boat for the day. We had an awesome time on the water. We were on the water shortly after we arrived. They make renting a boat super easy. We will definitely be back in the near future.

We had a great experience with our boat rental from Tierre Verde Boat Rentals!! Highly recommend it to anyone looking to rent a boat. We were given good instruction, directions, maps and suggested locations to visit and they all were spot on. Cant wait to go back!!!

Had a great time with the family enjoying a day on the water! The folks at TV boat rentals were fantastic. This is my second or third rental here and we always have a great time. Thanks TV folks!

They folks we've worked with have all been very courteous, helpful and kind. We will continue to rent from them in the future.

More Info...

As we depart the marina, It’s a short motor out of Bayboro Harbor and into Tampa Bay. We will hoist the sails and set off toward the famous Sunshine Skyway Bridge. It’s about a 2-hour sail until we pass under the monstrous 430-foot high bridge, continuing on for another hour before we reach Egmont Key. At any time, a dolphin, manatee, turtle, ray, or shark can make an appearance.

Upon arrival, your captain will drop anchor and prepare the dinghy for the short shuttle ride to the beach. Once on shore, you’ll find this enchanted island paradise is packed with surprises. Tortoises, Ruins, a Lighthouse, and the most beautiful beach you’ll ever see! This excursion will make you feel like you’re sailing to a remote Bahamas island.

After 2 hours of exploring, the captain will pick you up and bring you back to the yacht. We will then begin to make our way back, once again sailing under the Sunshine Skyway bridge.

If you have chosen to return in the evening, you will be greeted with the most amazing view of the setting sun as we approach St. Petersburg. Your captain will set the boat up for the perfect sunset photo before it disappears over the horizon. We will then drop the sails and motor back into the marina, just in time for you and your party to grab a late dinner in one of the many downtown St. Petersburg restaurants.

This is a full day of Sailing and Exploring. The natural beauty of Florida will be on full display and it will surely be a day your family will never forget.
