Dolphin Landings has been St. Pete Beach’s longest-running charter boat center since 1972, led by Captain Dan Peretz, who began taking guests out on his sailboat simply so he could go sailing every day — an idea that grew into a full-service charter boat center with access to more than 40 boats throughout Tampa Bay. Working directly off the beach near The Don CeSar Beach Resort, the crews have spent more than five decades promoting the bay area’s unspoiled nautical beauty.

Fishing Trips include Public Offshore Fishing, Deep Sea Offshore Private Fishing, and Back Bay Private Fishing, accommodating everyone from novices to serious anglers on both public and private packages. Beyond fishing, the business offers Dolphin Watching (2 hours, available 7 days a week), Sunset Sailing and Sunset Power Boat Cruises, and Island Adventures to Shell Key and Egmont Key — widely considered the most beautiful beaches and waters in Tampa Bay.

Guest reviews are extraordinarily glowing, with reviewers naming specific captains and mates (Scott and Ari, Jack and R.E., Tom and Jim, Susie and Ari, Jack and Roy) for warm, knowledgeable, and patient service across sailing, dolphin, and shelling excursions.

Dolphin Landings has proudly sponsored Soothe Our Souls, a nonprofit offering free monthly healing sailing trips for community members facing serious health challenges, as a Platinum sponsor since 2012.

For anglers, families, and sightseers near St. Pete Beach, Florida looking for a well-established, more than 50-year charter boat center offering fishing, dolphin watching, sunset sails, or island adventures, Dolphin Landings offers an exceptional, deeply loved operation.
