About Livin' Charters

As the old adage goes, “You know what’s better than owning a boat? Friends with boats.” So… wanna be friends?

Livin’ Charters is Sarasota Area’s go-to for the most fun out in our coastal waters without owning your own boat!

With us, you can expect a laid back atmosphere, a knowledgable captain, a comfortable ride, and a boating tour itinerary filled with you favorite water adventures.

Captain Kyle Kohlbrecher is no novice to the water scene. His career involves working for world-renowned Mote Marine Laboratories and his knowledge about the sea and sea animals adds a great deal to the overall boat-touring experience.

We know how to navigate the local spots: tiki bars and restaurants, fun-to-explore islands, and how to find dolphins, manatees, and other sea life. All of it while enjoying your choice of music, and your own food and beverages, nicely stored in plenty of cooler space available in our vessel.

If you want a “stuffy” ride on an old boat with semi-interesting events, you can go elsewhere. But if you want to have the ultimate boating experience in our coastal waters and bask in the sun with some rest and/or excitement, then embark into a Livin’ Charters boat tour before you leave town!
