Shark Viewing on Florida’s West Coast

Love sharks but prefer to see them from the surface?

Come with us on an unforgettable adventure with our shark viewing tours based in Sarasota, Florida!

Get up close to sharks without ever having to get your hair wet! Enjoy the thrill of seeing magnificent sharks just a few feet away from the comfort of our state-of-the-art shark boats.

As we sit at our shark grounds in the beautiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll have the unique opportunity to observe a variety of shark species as they swim gracefully on the surface near our boats.

During this exciting encounter, our experienced guides will provide fascinating insights into the behavior and ecology of these incredible creatures, enhancing your experience with their expert knowledge of sharks and their ocean home.

With our spacious and comfortable boats, you’ll have unobstructed views and plenty of opportunities to capture stunning photographs of sharks in their natural habitat.

Depending on the conditions, and what sharks we encounter, its also possible to play “tug-of-war” with a shark as our guides toss “dummy” baits into the water that our guests can pull back in to experience the raw power of these amazing animals.

Perfect for families, nature enthusiasts, and adventure seekers, our shark viewing tours offer an exciting and educational experience without the need to get in the water with sharks.

Join us for this unforgettable adventure where you can witness the beauty and power of sharks up close, all while enjoying the serene surroundings of the Gulf of Mexico. Book your tour today and get ready for an adventure like no other!
