Haunted Sarasota Trolley Tour: Ghost Stories & Local MysteriesThe Haunted Sarasota Trolley is a 75-minute nighttime tour through Sarasota's eerie past, led by a live guide who shares stories of famous murders, spirited buildings and unsolved crimes. The tour runs nightly in October and includes complimentary beer or wine for guests 21+ at the Trolley Cottage Tiki Bar before you board. Minimum age is 12; children 12–20 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.Is it for me?The live guide speaks English throughout, so you follow the stories and details without any translation or audio guide setup—you're just listening and riding. This works well for anyone visiting Sarasota in October who wants a structured evening activity that doesn't require planning transportation or hunting for a specific building; the trolley handles the route and the guide handles the narrative.
Dolphin Cruise Pensacola: 2-Hour Bay Sightseeing TourA 2-hour public dolphin and wildlife sightseeing cruise in Pensacola Bay led by Captain Kirk aboard the Condor, a sailing vessel where you can relax in comfy seats or explore the boat—sit on the sides with your feet in the water, do the Titanic pose at the bow, or feel like you're surfing at the front while searching for dolphins, rays and shorebirds. The cruise includes bottled water, sodas, juice boxes and snacks; the guide speaks English and Spanish.Is it for me?This is a shared public cruise, so you'll be with other travelers—it's built for groups and families rather than private bookings. The 2-hour format works if you want a morning or afternoon activity without committing to a full day, and the boat's design means you control how active or relaxed your experience is: stay seated if you prefer, or spend the whole time exploring the Condor and moving around the deck.
Private Guided Boat Tour Fernandina Beach: Wild Horses & HistoryA private guided boat tour in Fernandina Beach for up to 6 passengers with a USCG certified captain who navigates Amelia Island, Cumberland Island and surrounding waters. The captain leads you past an 18th-century sugar plantation, points out wild horses roaming Cumberland Island's beaches, and shows you the exterior of a pre-Civil War fort — all in the same outing. Bottled water is included; the tour runs about 2 hours.Is it for me?Book this private charter if you want to adjust the route on the water to focus on wild horses, ruins, or wildlife—your captain steers based on what interests you most.
Naples Calm Bay Fishing: 3.5-Hour Excursion for FamiliesA 3.5-hour coastal fishing excursion in Naples targeting redfish, snook, sheepshead, mangrove snapper, ladyfish, trout and pompano in calm, close-to-shore waters.

All rods, reels, line, bait and hooks are provided; bottled water and free parking are included. Weather permitting, the boat can venture 3 miles offshore for deeper species.Is it for me?The 3.5-hour timeframe leaves you back in Naples by early afternoon, so a half-day fishing trip fits into a morning or afternoon without eating the whole day—families can fish and still have time to eat lunch or explore 5th Ave South afterward.
Miami Yacht Cruise: Private 2-Hour Sunset & BYO FoodYou’ll sail through Miami’s heart on a private yacht cruise with your own snacks and drinks, guided by an experienced captain who knows every corner of Biscayne Bay. Watch the city skyline glow at sunset, laugh over shared bites on deck, and feel miles away from everything—even though you’re right in Miami.
Fort Lauderdale: Paddle Board Rentals with Free ParkingYou’ll glide along Fort Lauderdale’s canals on quality paddle boards, passing waterfront mansions and yachts while spotting fish below your feet.

A 2-hour shared cruise with a live English-speaking guide; bring your own drinks and snacks (alcohol allowed).Is it for me?Choose this shared tour if you want a guide actively spotting dolphins and directing the group to the best reefs; book a rental instead if you prefer exploring independently at your own pace.
St. Augustine Historical Tour: Premium LSV with Accredited GuideA guided historical tour of St. Augustine aboard a state-of-the-art low-speed vehicle, with complimentary pickup from downtown or West King area hotels.

First-time and experienced riders are welcome, and you can book a shared tour or a private group of up to six jet skis.Is it for me?Book a shared tour if you want to ride with other groups and keep the cost down, or choose a private group of up to six jet skis if you prefer to stay with people you know. The full two-hour lap gives you roughly 30 minutes more riding time than shorter tours, so pick this one if you want a complete island circuit instead of a partial route.

No shared stops, no surge pricing, no waiting — just a fixed price and a driver who knows where you're going.Is it for me?Worth booking if you land at Fort Lauderdale and want to skip the taxi line, app-based surge pricing, and the logistics of arranging ground transport — the fixed price and flight tracking mean you're picked up on time without negotiating at the curb.
Dolphin Sightseeing Boat Tour from Destin: Jet Ski SpeedThe Hydro Rocket Dolphin Sightseeing Boat Tour is a 1-hour jet ski–speed cruise from Destin that takes you into the Gulf of Mexico to search for dolphins and wildlife while riding the waves along the coastline. You'll pass Crab Island and return through the East Pass under the Destin Bridge, with your captain stopping for photos and answering questions throughout. Ages 5 and up only, due to Coast Guard height restrictions.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're traveling with a small group or family and want to see dolphins without committing to a long boat ride. The 1-hour length keeps it quick, and the jet ski speed and low-water position give you a different angle on the Gulf than standard sightseeing boats—just know that wave riding and speed mean this is an active, physical experience, not a calm cruise.
