Home to the largest
fishing
fleet on the west coast of Florida, the Clearwater
Marina is a major component of the recreational core.
Berthed in the marina are boats that offer a myriad of
activities: fishing, sightseeing, sailing, speed, "hands
on" marine life adventures, dining and dancing, parasailing
and more.
A variety of sightseeing boats offer unique ways to experience
the Clearwater and Clearwater Beach area. Sail away under
billowing sails in true luxury on three-masted schooners;
thrill to an exhilarating ride on the world's largest
speedboat; cruise the gulf on a pirate ship, bringing
to mind the swashbuckling days of pirates and damsels
in distress. Observe the magnificence of dolphins frolicking
in the waves or a spectacular sunset over the Gulf of
Mexico. Dinner-dance cruises promise evenings to remember.
A ferry service provides excursions to natural locales
such as Caladesi Island.
Become a marine biologist on one of several marine life
experience cruises. Kayak through Clearwater bay islands,
bird rookeries and boiling springs and see dolphins, great
blue herons and more. Charter your own private boat with
a captain to take you fishing, snorkeling, shelling or
to your own private island.
Dive on more than ten artificial inshore and offshore
reefs along the Gulf coast of Pinellas County. These
artificial reefs are individually designed with different
sized openings for different sized fish and especially
attractive to grouper, snapper, grunt, mackerel, amber
jack, cobia, barracuda and bait fish. Home to coral, sponge,
and a wide variety of other undersea creatures, explore
World War II landing crafts, an airplane and high profile
pyramids. All the reefs are specifically designed to attract
fish. Ideal snorkeling reefs are located closer to shore.
