Our 21’ deck boat, Salt Therapy, is clean, comfortable, and set up for fun and safety. With plenty of shade, Bluetooth music, cooler space, and room to relax, it’s the perfect platform for exploring local islands, spotting wildlife, or just kicking back on the Gulf Coast. Guests choose Captain Clearwater because they want more than just a boat ride — they want a true local experience with someone who knows the waters, the islands, and the stories that make this coast special.

We brought our food and drinks and there was enough storage on the boat for all of our stuff. Our captain navigated us well and took us to the best spots to see dolphins and a nice quiet private beach. Then he showed us the perfect spot to stop and take a ride on the slide. The whole process was seamless and the experience was great. I highly suggest you book with them!

I was very pleased with how well Captain Randy communicated and provided additional insight. Upon closer to the time for our day I had a follow up conversation with Cassie who provided even more information that brought comfort not only to me but my guests as well. They provided a cooler with ice and water as well as numerous floats and shelling bags. The whole experience was relaxing and refreshing. Our captain for the day was Jordan and she was Spectacular with keeping us on time and showing us around. We did a 4 hour boat tour but were able to have time on the slide and visit two islands. Truly an unforgettable experience for families and groups alike. 10/10 will be booking again for a longer time. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience.

Phil just being a hardworking, knowledgeable, and fun guy to be around... it was such a great day chasing multiple species of fish. We started the day chasing Tarpon. We had 2 tarpon hookups but couldn't seal the deal. I fought one that jumped 7 or 8 times but broke me off in the end. What a rush!!! Then my daughter had a shark break her off at the back of the boat. We moved spots and caught a 4.5 foot Black Tip Shark! What a battle! We also caught our limit on Mangrove Snappers and caught some Red Fish to finish out the day. Besides all the fish we caught, we saw alot of the wildlife that Florida has to offer while out fishing today. We saw a manatee, sea turtles, so many dolphins, a 7-8 foot hammerhead shark that swam right under the back corner of the boat. Also, the dolphins ate a couple of the fish that we released! It was such a great day on the water! Do yourself a favor and book with Sliprock Charters and Capt. Phil!

The captain is a long time Clearwater area resident and his warm hospitality and vast knowledge of these waters makes for a once in a lifetime excursion! The 4 Hour Cruise is $350, which includes up to six people. I have a 20% Discount in effect through the end of February. This makes the rate $280. Longer & shorter trips are available - please call or text me to discuss pricing. Departure time is flexible depending on my current booking schedule. Normal departure time is 11AM and is typically from the Clearwater Harbor Marina Yacht & Boat (yes, that's the name) on the mainland side of the Causeway Bridge (aka "Clearwater Memorial Causeway"). Another popular pickup point is the Belleair Causeway Boat Ramp in Belleair Bluffs (Largo area). We can return to either one. I often recommend calling in a deli sandwich order to either of the wonderful Publix supermarkets close to these pickup spots.  Call in your order so you can pick up all your sandwiches, snacks and drinks (alcoholic beverages are certainly allowed) roughly a half an hour before our departure time. Then you can enjoy a nice "picnic" on the upper deck half way through our tour.  Bags of ice are available at both pickup locations and I have a couple large coolers to keep everything ice cold.  I have red Solo cups too!
