Coral Drift Charters
Coral Drift Charters is your premier private-charter company serving Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Osprey, and Venice on Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast. Every cruise is built around you—whether that means a laid-back day floating from sandbar to sandbar or a lively hop between waterfront tiki bars. Our 23-foot luxury tri-toon is decked out for comfort and ready to give you the charter experience of a lifetime. You can learn more about our boat, our rates, and our charter options above.
Sarasota Bay and its barrier islands are famous for powder-soft quartz sand, crystal-clear shallows, and year-round sunshine. From Siesta Beach’s award-winning coastline to Lido Key’s dolphin-filled coves and Venice’s historic waterways, the area offers endless ways to relax or play—snorkeling, paddle-boarding, shelling, or simply soaking in the sunset. With easy access from local marinas and boat ramps, Coral Drift makes discovering Florida’s Gulf Coast effortless.
New for 2025! Venture farther with our extended-range Explorer charters to Egmont Key, Passage Key, and the remote mangrove tunnels south of Venice. Pristine water, hidden coves, and vibrant marine life create the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable day on the Gulf.
