With the plethora of water activities in this area, the secret behind our consistently high ratings across all platforms is simple: customization. Each trip we offer is tailored to fulfill our client's dream day on the water. Upon booking, we engage with you to understand your unique preferences—typically a day before your adventure. From there, we craft a custom charter that aligns with your specific desires, needs, or budget.
Axopar 37 “Mini-Yacht”: Enjoy the ride, comfort, and amenities you’d expect from much larger yachts; without the usual limitations that keep them stuck in one lane. This boat is built to do it all: pull up to waterfront restaurants with ease, post up at the sandbar, cruise for a smooth sunset ride, or explore islands and hidden spots that bigger boats simply can’t reach. Think of it as the SUV of the Seas—luxury when you want it, adventure whenever you feel like it.

You control the voyage on your charter and dictate your dream day, not our company, allowing for multiple activities not just a specific one and a day filled with your dream itinerary.
Being we don't employ the captains directly, we open ourselves to not being tied to someone. We only select the top captains in the area to put on our pre-approved list, which leaves you the selection of the best captains in the area to join your charterers.
Due to the foreign built vessels SeaEO exclusively uses, it forces the largest allowable non-COI charter capacity. That allows you, the crew, and 12 of your guests to join you on your voyage!
Pick up location is at 752 Manatee Ave, Slip 1, Holmes Beach, FL 34217.
SeaEO charters are designed for groups of up to 13 people in the charter party - the charterer plus up to 12 guests - in addition to the captain and any crew. That makes a Anna Maria Island charter a strong option for couples, families and larger groups without moving to a large commercial tour boat.
Your Anna Maria Island booking covers the private use of the selected SeaEO vessel and its listed onboard amenities for the reserved charter time. SeaEO’s Axopar 37 fleet includes features such as a bathroom, Bluetooth audio, enclosed cabin space, sunpads and a small cooler/refrigeration area. Fuel is not included, and captain payment is handled separately under SeaEO’s demise-charter structure. Exact inclusions and add-ons are shown during booking.
Yes. SeaEO allows alcohol, food, drinks and snacks aboard its Anna Maria Island charters, and the website also lists glass bottles as permitted. Guests are responsible for consuming alcohol safely and following the captain’s directions at all times.
Yes. SeaEO lists pets, infants and children under 12 as permitted aboard its charters. The Axopar 37 also provides enclosed cabin space and a stateroom that can be helpful when younger guests need shade or downtime. Let SeaEO know about young children or pets before the trip so the captain can help plan for comfort and safety.
Vaping/e-cigarettes are permitted aboard the boat. Cigarettes and cigars are more restricted because of fire, ash, odor and upholstery concerns; SeaEO generally asks guests to smoke off the boat or only in a captain-approved designated area. Always follow the captain’s instructions for the specific charter.
SeaEO’s current location pages state that cancellations made at least 6 days before the charter receive a full refund; cancellations 2-5 days before receive a 50% refund; and cancellations within 2 days are non-refundable. Optional trip-cancellation insurance may allow cancellation up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. If SeaEO or the captain determines that weather or other conditions make the trip unsuitable or unsafe, the company may reschedule the booking or provide a refund/credit under the applicable terms. Because policies can change, the terms shown at checkout should be treated as the final policy.
SeaEO recommends bringing drinks, food or snacks, sunscreen and towels. Wear comfortable clothing suited to the weather and bring a swimsuit if swimming is part of your plan. The boat provides enclosed space and onboard amenities, but packing for sun, wind and time in the water will make the day more comfortable.
Yes, a visit to Egmont Key can be considered as part of a custom Anna Maria Island itinerary when charter length, weather, tides, water depth, local rules and docking/anchoring conditions allow. SeaEO’s trips are intentionally flexible, so the captain can help decide whether that stop fits naturally into the day. SeaEO highlights Egmont Key for beaches, snorkeling, wildlife and historic Fort Dade/lighthouse scenery.
Popular options SeaEO highlights from Anna Maria Island include the sandbar around Jewfish Key and the waters around Beer Can Island/Greer Island. Egmont Key can also add a beach-and-snorkel element to a longer day. The best stop depends on tide, wind and how much charter time you have.
Yes. SeaEO’s model is built around multi-activity charters, so a Anna Maria Island trip can combine activities such as cruising, swimming, snorkeling, fishing or a sandbar stop rather than forcing your group into one fixed tour. The captain will sequence the day around conditions, travel time and any fishing or protected-area regulations that apply.
Yes, cruising toward Longboat Key and the Longboat Pass area can be considered as part of a custom Anna Maria Island itinerary when charter length, weather, tides, water depth, local rules and docking/anchoring conditions allow. SeaEO’s trips are intentionally flexible, so the captain can help decide whether that stop fits naturally into the day.
Yes. A private sunset cruise is a natural fit for a Anna Maria Island charter and is one of SeaEO’s commonly offered charter styles. Because the trip is private, the captain can shape the route around the best available evening views, weather and water conditions while keeping the pace relaxed for your group.
