A Beer Can Island custom tour is a private boating experience designed around your group.

Instead of following a fixed itinerary, you can work with your captain to determine how you want to spend your time on the water. Beer Can Island can be the main destination, or it can be combined with other nearby places when time, weather, tides, and water conditions allow.

Your group can spend more time at the places you enjoy and less time at the places you don't.

Popular options include:

🏖️ Beach and island time
🏊 Swimming
🌊 Cruising the coastal waterways
🐬 Looking for dolphins
☀️ Relaxing in the sun
📸 Taking photos
🏝️ Visiting nearby sandbars
🌅 Adding a sunset experience when timing allows

A 4-hour trip is a great option for groups that want a private half-day experience centered around Beer Can Island.

You can spend time at the island and, depending on conditions and your itinerary, potentially include additional sightseeing or nearby stops.

Starting at $800

Want more time on the water?

The 6-hour option gives your group additional time to build a multi-stop itinerary. You can spend more time at Beer Can Island while leaving room for additional destinations, swimming, sightseeing, or wildlife viewing.

Starting at $1,000

Make a full day of it.

The 8-hour option gives your group the most flexibility to explore Beer Can Island and potentially add multiple destinations to your itinerary.

Spend more time swimming, relaxing, cruising, looking for dolphins, visiting sandbars, or exploring other coastal destinations without having to rush from one stop to the next.

Starting at $1,200

Trip routes and stops are subject to weather, tides, water conditions, time available, and captain discretion.

Beer Can Island doesn't have to be the only stop.

Depending on your group's interests and the conditions that day, your custom itinerary can incorporate other popular Anna Maria Island-area destinations.

Combine Beer Can Island with time at a nearby sandbar for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying the shallow water.
