Before You Book

Clearwater Questions

Is Clearwater really the best dolphin spot?
It’s our most consistent — resident pods hunt the passes daily and Clearwater’s calm, clear water makes sightings easy to enjoy. Wild animals are never guaranteed, but odds here are excellent.
Can we visit Caladesi Island?
Yes — Caladesi is boat-access only and regularly ranked among America’s best beaches. Island-hopping and shelling cruises stop on its wild, uncrowded sand.
What do Clearwater cruises cost?
Dolphin, sunset, shelling and island-hopping cruises are $600 per group (up to 6 guests, extra hours $100/hr). Snorkeling & scuba runs $250/person (1–4 guests) or $200/person (5–6). Fishing charters are custom-quoted. Book at aowefl.com/booking.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes — ages 5 and up sail with us. Child-sized life jackets are provided, Gulf vessels are much quieter than airboats, and dolphin cruises are universally loved by kids.
When should I book?
Tours run by reservation, 7 days a week. Weekends and sunset slots fill first — book a few days ahead, or call/text 352-587-3422 for same-day availability.
