Luxury Boat Charters & Tours in St. Petersburg, FL

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 St. Petersburg charter a strong option for couples, families and larger groups without moving to a large commercial tour boat.

Your St. Petersburg 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.

No. Fuel is separate from the listed St. Petersburg charter price. SeaEO tracks fuel used during the trip and discloses typical fuel costs during booking; the final amount varies with charter length, cruising speed, route and the number of longer-distance stops you choose. This structure allows the itinerary to stay flexible rather than limiting the trip to reduce fuel use.

Yes. SeaEO allows alcohol, food, drinks and snacks aboard its St. Petersburg 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. Catering can also be arranged through a separate vendor.

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.

Safety and the quality of the trip come first. If weather, wind, tides or sea conditions make the planned St. Petersburg itinerary unsuitable, your captain may modify the route or activity plan.

If the operator has to cancel the trip, SeaEO’s policy provides for rescheduling or a refund/credit under the applicable booking terms.

Yes, when docking access, restaurant availability, charter duration and conditions allow.

Let SeaEO know before the trip if dining is a priority so the captain can plan travel time and docking logistics.

Wildlife watching can be part of a St. Petersburg charter, and dolphins may be encountered in the local waterways. Because these are wild animals, sightings are never guaranteed.
