We had THE BEST time on the boat with Captain Rob! We booked the Island Excursion tour and brought…read morethe kids (2 and 5) along. It was the perfect day!! We boated to three different islands. We spent time on each one looking for seashells, building sand castles, and swimming/floating in the water. The kids had a blast!! We saw multiple dolphins and manatees. Captain Rob was a joy to be around. He was professional, fun, good with the kids, and knowledgable about the local area and wildlife. He had life jackets for the kids, and provided waters and sunscreen. We packed sandwiches and had a picnic on one of the islands. Being on the water gives a completely different perspective than you get from the beach. The water is so clear and beautiful and warm! This was the highlight of our trip and we cannot wait to go back!

This was the best fishing trip, ever! Let me tell you why... If you are new or a novice fisher…read moreperson the crew makes things so simple for you! They are very skilled and go hands on to help you set up your rod & reel, give you tips and pointers, as well as take your catch off the hook for you so you don't get yourself cut up! They even clean and filet them for you!! If you're a skilled fisher they let you be to do your own thing. Not only are they super helpful but they are incredibly friendly, funny and entertaining! They gave us lots of ideas for things to do in the area also. Super great crew! If you slow down catching fish they will move to a different area to make the most of the fishing! We say a few dolphins swimming with us along the way also. I highly recommend this trip for single people, couples or the entire family. We met some great people (mostly locals) on the trip that we call family now! (Terry & Terrance) Drew & the rest of the crew were awesome. They cook breakfast & lunch! For a small fee ($4 to $5) you can buy breakfast sandwiches, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, snacks, soda, water and beer. We went in early May so we caught mostly grunts but several people caught hog fish as well. Your bait and tackle is included but they have frozen shrimp for an additional $5 if you want to fish for bigger fish.

A friend and I rented the 16 ft Alumicraft with Bimini From Weeki Wachee Boat Rentals. The…read moreproprietor met us when we arrived and explained that the tide was very low, and that he wasn't sending out any other rentals for the remainder of the day. He assured us that the boat we rented would "float in a bathtub". This was not the case. To say this craft has seen better days is is a gross understatement. The dash was cracked and broken. The floor covering was torn. It was not possible to actually steer the boat with any precision, we had to spin the wheel one way or another and the hope for the best. We ended up dragging the boat through the shallow waters and off of sandbars for much of the day. I believe the owner knew we were going to have a rough time, but didn't want to sacrifice the $300.00+ reservation fee he had collected. When we returned the rental, the owner espoused the benefits of a pontoon boat, explaining the boat we rented Is geared toward experienced boaters. We never indicated to this man in any way that we were experienced boaters. That being said, the river is amazing, I am sorry we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy it fully due to the owner's greed and lack of integrity.

Both times we were taken on a tour of some fancy homes with some great narrative and stories to pass the time. Capt chance also took us to a couple of seemingly deserted islands to look for seashells and explore. Both years he stopped out at a sand bar so we could find sea urchins and sand dollars. Even showed us how we can eat the urchins raw!! He's always easygoing and fun to be around. Also very attentive to our safety. Great value for the experience. Can't say enough of this company. See you all again next year.

I am utterly dismayed by my experience with Clearwater Party Boats and their owner, Drew Johnson…read more After initiating contact with Drew on 12/9/23, I booked and paid a deposit on 12/10/23, and then confirmed our reservations on 12/11/23. I even reconfirmed and paid in full on 1/29/24. However, on 2/3/24, when I showed up to the appointment with all 12 guests, we arrived 15 minutes early only to find no sign of the boat. Upon calling the phone number provided on the confirmation paperwork at 2:11 pm, I spoke with the boat captain, who politely informed me that he had no record of our reservation and suggested that I contact Drew. Despite calling both phone numbers on file for Drew and sending an email, there was no response. With 12 people standing on the dock and all our supplies ready, I was left with no options. Desperate for a solution, I turned to the boat captain, who kindly asked me to forward him my booking information and offered to contact Drew on my behalf. After complying, Drew finally called me back at 2:33 pm, only to deliver the devastating news that he couldn't fulfill our reservation. He offered no explanation or apology, and when I tried to inquire further, he spoke over me, stating, "we can't get." This entire experience has been a complete letdown, causing immense inconvenience and disappointment for myself and my guests. Given the lack of professionalism, accountability, and utter disregard for customer service, it is abundantly clear that I cannot, in good conscience, recommend Clearwater Party Boats and Drew to anyone. Please heed my warning and avoid utilizing this company at all costs. I added a photo of my group waiting for the boat that never arrived!!
