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!
Our Sunset Cruises offer you the perfect setting to unwind and soak in the mesmerizing colors of the evening sky. Sip on your favorite beverage, enjoy your own snacks, and let the soothing waves carry your cares away.
For the wildlife enthusiasts, our Wildlife Tours offer an incredible opportunity to observe coastal ecosystems teeming with exotic birdlife, manatees, and other fascinating creatures.
Our Island Exploration tours invite you to step ashore and discover the treasures of secluded islands. Whether you seek secluded beaches, pristine snorkeling spots, or historical sites, we’ll take you on a journey of discovery.
Take advantage of our set rates for hours of entertainment on the water!
Listen to a selection of your own jams while enjoying the ride.
More comfort with added cushions throughout the vessel.
