Clearwater Boating
The sparkling and warm waters of the gulf coast offer unsurpassed and thrilling boating experiences. Throughout most of the year, we have favorable weather for boating, which coupled with the relatively calm, turquoise waters under a sparkling sun, make an ideal boating paradise.
Local Marine Weather Forecast
Located on the west coast of Florida, the area is situated for enjoying the often spectacular and scenic sunsets dropping into the sea. The celebrated sunsets of the Clearwater Beach make the waters sparkle during the evenings presenting a unique setting for a classic boating experience. Evening sails are a special delight for some. It is a awesome experience to be on board in a vessel and watch the waters mildly glitter under the moon light. And of course there are the ever-present Dolphins. Their perpetual smiles and sometime playful antics are always welcome to boaters as they share the sea. This harmonious blend of ideal weather, spectacular beaches, and scenic coastal beauty make this place to enjoy a classic and unforgettable boating and sailing experience.
