Table of Contents

Want to add a couple of Siesta Key boat tours to your travel itinerary? You don’t even have to be a tourist to enjoy the fun boat tours in Siesta Key. I’m a Florida local and I love getting out onto the water and exploring the area!

There are so many Siesta Key boat tours to choose from. Whether you want to look for marine wildlife, try out some water sports, or go on a private cruise, you’ve got options. So, here’s a roundup of what I think are the 12 best Siesta Key boat island tours, as well as a few nearby ones. I’ve compiled all the relevant info you need to make the best choice for your trip.

Best Siesta Key Boat Tours

Below are my favorite Siesta Key boat tours within walking distance or just a short drive away.

1. Siesta Key Kayak Tour

kayaking on the water

⭐ Rated: 4.5 out of 5 (34 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 2 hours

What better way to journey around Siesta Key than on a kayak? You can also use a stand up paddleboard as you explore one of Sarasota’s most interesting ecosystems: mangrove islands. You’ll spot tons of wildlife, including a dolphin or manatee if you’re lucky! This tour also includes a stop at a tranquil area of Turtle Beach that can only be accessed by boat.

I’ve been boating in this area for over a decade. It’s some of the best crystal clear water in Florida.

Read what others are saying about this kayak tour:

“We saw a beautiful dolphin in the channel and different types of birds. It was my friend’s first ever time kayaking, and she loved it!” – Kimberly, Siesta Key Boat Tour Review
  • Equipment and safety gear provided
  • Two departure times to choose from
  • Full refund if canceled at least 24 hours prior
  • Food and drinks not provided

☑︎ Departure Location: 8701 Blind Pass Rd, Sarasota, FL 34242, USA

2. Private Siesta Funship Adventure & Dolphin Cruise

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (17 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 4 hours

If you’re interested in Siesta Key boat tours but want to avoid crowds, then Siesta Key private boat tours are the way to go.

On this tour, the captain will take your group to look for dolphins and manatees. There is also a stop at a sandbar to lounge, swim, or use the slide that’s onboard. If you’d like, the captain can also take you to get drinks or a quick bite.

Useful Adventure Dolphin Tour Information

  • The tour involves just your group of up to 6 people.
  • BYOB — a cooler is supplied with ice.
  • Private tour
  • Beach chairs and toys provided
  • Pricier than most tours in the area

☑︎ Departure Location: 946 Siesta Dr, Sarasota, FL 34242, USA

3. Dolphins & Donuts Tour

⏳ Tour Length: 2 hours

Many of the best Siesta Key boat island tours involve looking for dolphins, but how many of them also serve you donuts? Just this one!  It combines two of my favorite things, food and time outdoors seeing wildlife!

On this dolphin tour by Fun Boat Tours, you can leisurely munch away on donuts and coffee as you sail the Intracoastal Waterway. You’ll get plenty of opportunities to spot dolphins, manatees, and marine birds.

  • One of the best priced dolphin tours in Siesta Key
  • Food and drinks provided
  • Military discount available
  • Parking nearby can be pricey

☑︎ Departure Location: 1265 Old Stickney Point Rd, Sarasota, FL 34242

4. Efoil Watersport Experience in Sarasota

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (20 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 1.5 hours

Ever heard of an electricity-powered surfboard? It might sound like a hazard, but riding an Efoil can be perfectly safe and fun.

I realize an Efoil is not a boat, but since it’s in a class of its own, I had to include it in the best boat tours near Siesta Key.

Even if you’re new to this watersport, the instructors will have you flying over the Gulf of Mexico or Sarasota Bay in no time!

Useful Tips for the Efoil Watersport Experience

  • Anyone of any Efoil skill level can participate, but it’s recommended that you be moderately physically fit.
  • Private boat tour
  • Not ideal for people with serious medical issues, especially heart problems
  • Not recommended for pregnant women

☑︎ Departure Location: varies depending on weather conditions

5. Private Sunset Boat Tour

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (7 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 2.5 hours

You have a few options when it comes to Siesta Key private boat tours, including this sunset charter through Little Sarasota Bay. You might just see a dolphin or manatee as you ride the waves and head to a sandbar where you can pop out for a swim as the day shifts to night.

Useful Private Sunset Charter Information

  • Up to 6 guests are allowed in your group.
  • This is a BYO tour. A cooler with water and ice is provided.
  • Pet-friendly boat
  • Private Tour

☑︎ Departure Location: 7660 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34231, USA

6. Parasailing Adventure in Anna Maria Island

parasailing photo with view in the sky

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (58 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 30 minutes

Anna Maria Island is a 25-mile drive from Siesta Key, but it’s worth it for this experience! Once you’re out on the water, you’ll get strapped into your parachute and sent flying. You’ll be in the air for about 10 minutes. The whole experience lasts just 30 minutes, making it a quick adventure that can easily be squeezed into any itinerary.

Useful Parasailing Boat Tour Tips

  • Parking here can be a challenge during peak season. Aim to arrive about 15 or 20 minutes early.
  • The boat leaves at the scheduled time whether you’re on it or not!
  • Small group boat tour (12 persons maximum)
  • Those who are pregnant or have medical conditions should avoid
  • Not for those with a fear of heights

☑︎ Departure Location: 63rd St, Holmes Beach, FL 34217, USA

7. 4-Hour Private Inshore Fishing Trip in Sarasota

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (11 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 4 hours

Want to see what you can reel in around Siesta Key? Siesta Key boat tours are a perfect opportunity to do just that!

The captain of this boat tour specializes in several native Florida species, including redfish, tarpon, and snook. It’s a very personalized experience, and the captain can help you get the hang of fishing if you’ve never tried it before.

  • Private, personalized tour
  • Fishing equipment and license provided

☑︎ Departure Location: 920 John Ringling Causeway, Sarasota, FL 34236

8. 4-Hour Private Boat Tour with Wildlife Watching

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (65 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 3 hours

This is, no doubt, one of the best Siesta Key private boat tours! It departs from the marina in Sarasota, with an itinerary that includes Siesta Key, Casey Key, Venice, and Nokomis.

Not only will you be keeping your eyes out for wildlife but you’ll also see historical sights such as Historic Spanish Point in Casey Key. This tour is highly customizable. You can go shelling, visit a tiki bar, grab a bite to eat, or all of the above!

  • Snacks and water provided

☑︎ Departure Location: 7700 S Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, Florida 34231

9. Kayak Tour through Mangrove Tunnels

kayak tour through the mangroves

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (431 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 2 hours

The mangroves in and around Siesta Key harbor tons of marine wildlife, including dolphins, manatees, crabs, starfish, and birds! The mangrove forests you’ll venture into on this tour have grown into tunnels, which you can explore on a kayak or stand-up paddleboard.

Useful Kayak Tour Information

  • This tour departs from Lido Key, north of Siesta Key.
  • If you choose to go kayaking, you’ll have the choice of either a single or double kayak.
  • Small group tour (maximum 15 persons)

☑︎ Departure Location: 190 Taft Dr, Sarasota, Florida 34236

10. Sharkey’s LED Illuminated Night & Sunset Tour on Glass Bottom Kayaks

beautiful sunset and kayaking photo

⭐ Rated: 4 out of 5 (47 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 1.5 hours

To see Sarasota in a new light (literally), consider Sharkey’s LED-illuminated kayak tour! This is, hands-down, one of the most unique and fun boat tours in Siesta Key. 

You’ll venture into the mangroves and grass flats in an LED-fitted, glass-bottom kayak. You’ll not only have a spectacular view of the marine wildlife below but also of the Sarasota skyline.

Additional Kayak Tour Information

  • You can feed fish on this tour but only in specific areas and only using the fish food given to you.

Read the Rave Reviews on Kayak Sunset Tours

“Great relaxing experience….saw fish, crabs, manatee, and a shark. Very comfortable and relaxing. The guide gives good local and environmental information.” – Jeff, LED Night Kayak Boat Tour
  • Small group tour (maximum 18 persons)

☑︎ Departure Location: 1708 Ken Thompson Pkwy, Sarasota, FL 34236

11. Kayak and Paddleboard Rentals at Siesta Key

Siesta Key Boat Tours; Siesta Key photo of the beach and fishing genteman

⭐ Rated: 5 out of 5 (11 Reviews) | ⏳ Tour Length: 2 hours

This kayak and paddleboard rental comes with all the necessary equipment you need, as well as tips on where to go to have the best chance of encountering aquatic wildlife. You can expect to see plenty of fish and birds, potentially a few dolphins and manatees, and (if you’re lucky) sea turtles!

“The instructor was nice and helpful. The area is beautiful and easy to navigate and there are a lot of awesome animals to see!” – Sara, Siesta Key Kayak Tour Review

Additional Kayak and Paddleboard Rental Information

  • You can rent both single and double kayaks and paddleboards.
  • You’re provided with a map and a dry bag for your belongings.

☑︎ Departure Location: 8701 Blind Pass Rd, Sarasota, FL 34242

12. Siesta Key Tiki Boat Tour

tiki boat tour

Last but not least, this is one of the most fun boat tours in Siesta Key! You can ride in a tiki bar-themed party boat as you cruise along Florida’s gorgeous coastline. Note, however, that the boat itself doesn’t function as a tiki bar. You BYOB and food, but there will be coolers on board with ice.

This is one of my favorite outings for adult birthday parties or wedding events. It’s a fun way to casually hang out as a group and enjoy the gorgeous sunset!

  • Adults-only tiki boat tour
  • Tour will be canceled if minimum guest count (6 persons) isn’t reached 

☑︎ Departure Location: 8865 Midnight Pass Road, Sarasota, FL 34242

A Fun Party Boat Experience in Siesta Key, FL!

I have a big family, with 8 young kids. Joe and Dave did an excellent job of customizing the outing for us. Their knowledge of the area, their perfect portion of attentiveness made for a wonderful memorable outing. We had a great time using the slide, the lily pad, sitting on shore and exploring the water way. I highly recommend.

We had an awesome time on the boat cruise! There were 6 of us and we enjoyed the slide, jumping off the back of the boat, seeing all of the gorgeous houses, listening to music, etc. It was a very memorable experience for our family. Captain Joe was great and really customized the trip for us. Cosmo (the puppy) was the added bonus and super cute! I highly recommend this trip!

My group went out for a 4 hour adventure on Monday June 13, 2022 and it was honestly the highlight of our trip! We will definitely do it again on any future trip to Siesta Key! The kids loved the slide off the back of the boat and everyone enjoyed seeing all of the nice houses and just hanging out in the water. You should for sure book this trip...you will not be disappointed!!!

The entire day was special...My family had a wonderful time and Captain Joe was so easy and fun and made the trip even better....his daughter was a big help and we fell in love with his dog cosmo. My kids (age 7 and 9 had the time of their lives. They loved when the boat docked and they could go down the slide and play with all of the beach toys that Capt. Joe kept throwing in the water. We all loved the day.

The trip with Siesta Funship was hands down amazing. I was able to book two days prior for my sisters bachelorette party. Joe was more than accommodating and made the trip unforgettable. I would highly recommend to anyone down in Siesta or the Sarasota area to book this trip you will not regret. Please say hi to his little puppy Cosmo as well :)

Such a fun time! Loved our time on Siesta funboat. The captain was very personable & made sure to take us to the fun stops & show us all around siesta key. Def would do this again! Our 11 yr old had a great time too. Great time seeing around siesta key. Loved his dog Cosmo! Made thr trip even more fun!

We spent yesterday on Siesta Funship. It was amazing! The weather was great and Capt. Joe was a great guide. We saw all the beautiful houses on the water, stopped at Lido key to play in the water and on the toys provided by the Funship. On our way home we saw a manta ray and a mother dolphin and her calf! Of course having Cosmo the puppy on board made everyone’s day. We would definitely do this again!

Joe was amazing. Thank you for an incredible day with my family. Not only did we have a blast playing in the water, we were fortunate to see dolphins and manatee. Joe was extremely accommodating to our desires for the kids and the day on the water. Thank you Joe for giving us a day to remember. We will be back.

What a fun day with siesta funship! We did the 4 hour tour and had a wonderful time with moms and daughters! Everyone enjoyed the slide (all ages) and all of the water floats provided!! We toured all the beautiful homes and enjoyed some beach time. Highly recommend and will always use Siesta Funship

We had a great experience on the Siesta funship with Capt. Joe! We took our 3 girls, 6 year old (twins) and our 4 year old. It was perfect for the kids. They loved playing at the sand bar and with all of the floaties and beach stuff. It was such a relaxing day. We can't wait to book again next year.

We had a 4 hour in-shore tour. Tobey took us along the inland waterway and it was a casual, laid back affair with great weather and a great time! Our pilot showed us the sights and piqued our interest in coming out again. We didn't do any fishing, but that's a definite next time around.  Definitely a great way to spend the day!

What a great time!! Capt Michael provided a wonderful experience cruising. Great music, fun, relaxing. We will definitely do it again. An added bonus were complimentary drinks and snacks, making this a wonderful carefree and memorable experience.

We had such a great time today out on the water. Michael was our Captain and he was awesome. He was entertaining and very knowledgeable. If you are looking for a low-key, fun day on the water, I definitely recommend Low Tide Tours. Be sure to ask for Micheal!

Went out with low tide tours to celebrate my and my sons birthday and it was awesome! A great time was had by all! Our Captains, Jason and Chaz were very nice guys! They were friendly and helpful. I am going to request them next time we go out!

We had such a great time! We had a private half-day tour and every single one of us (8 people) had so much fun with lots of laughter, dancing and all around great time. We didn't want the trip to end! Highly recommend, will definitely do this again when we are back!

Mtv's 'siesta key' on pause after 5 seasons, future uncertain, mtv's 'siesta key' production paused after 5 seasons ... show's future uncertain.

MTV's "Siesta Key" won't be returning for a 6th season anytime soon ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the show tell us the series is not considered officially canceled by the network ... as there’s a possibility it could return in the future. Still, the current incarnation of the show has come to an end after 5 seasons.

Many fans online, including several Reddit threads, have been wondering for months when they would get a 6th season of the show -- which hit an all-time ratings low in season 5 before airing its finale in January 2023.

The show came on the air in July 2017 and quickly became a hit in the first 4 seasons, which were filmed in Sarasota County, Florida. In season 5, the show pivoted and documented cast member Juliette Porter and her friends as they moved to Miami.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Longtime cast member Amanda Miller indicated a while back the show was likely canned ... writing on Instagram, "For the last 5 years these people (& a few more) have become more than friends, they’re my family. It’s been an honor doing this show with them by my side and the memories we’ve all made together are unforgettable & I will be carrying them with me forever."

The series had its fair share of off-screen drama ... mainly surrounding former cast member, Alex Kompothecras. After the show's debut, animal rights activists called for a boycott of the show after Alex was associated with a friend group that cruelly dragged a live shark behind a boat.

Alex was later fired from the show in 2020 over past racist social media posts. The show, which was executive-produced by Alex's father, went on without him for 2 more seasons.
