Boat Rentals on Longboat Key

Southwest Florida is known not only for its white sand beaches, but also for miles of Gulf waters, calm bays and inland waterways to explore by power or sail boat. Boating is one of the most popular activities on our Island, allowing passengers to feel the wind in their hair as they glide through the crystalline waters of Longboat Key & Anna Maria Island.

One can expect many awe inspiring experiences while boating including picturesque sunsets, watching a school of dolphin swim alongside you, or catching a glimpse of one of the many species of tropical birds that fly by. Anchor and explore an island, dock at a waterfront restaurant such as Moore’s, Mar Vista or the Salty Dog. Pull up to a sandbar, fish or just relax in the sun and enjoy the ocean breeze. Whatever your interests are, boating offers an exciting way to spend a day at sea and take in all that our area has to offer.  

Many people who vacation in our area choose to rent a boat for a fun day on the water with friends and family. There are many boat rental companies in Sarasota and on Longboat Key & Anna Maria Island. Chartered boat and fishing tours are also available for those who wish to sit back and relax as an experienced captain takes the wheel.

Many of our vacation rental properties, including the Beach Castle Resort, offer boat docks. For more information on boat rentals or accommodations with boat docks, please give us a call. We will be happy to help plan your day at sea!
