Windsong Charters & Boat Rentals, established in 2002, offers pontoon boat, tiki bar boat, kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddleboard rentals in New Port Richey, Florida, on the state’s Sports Coast — a short drive from Orlando, St. Petersburg, or Clearwater. Led by Captain Wendy Longman, the business is genuinely proud of its long, colorful history (“too long a story!”).

Guests can spend a day renting a pontoon boat and heading to the islands for snorkeling, swimming, or relaxing, or explore the mangrove reserve by kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. Captained charters are also available, including private trips to Anclote Key, St. Pete private barrier island boat tours, an Egmont Key Ferry from Fort DeSoto Park, and a Tiki Boat cruise to John’s Pass Sandbar in Madeira Beach. Beyond standard outings, the business offers scalloping trips during Florida’s Sports Coast scallop season, island camping, island weddings, corporate events, and compassionate memorial/ash scattering services.

Guest reviews are consistently glowing, with reviewers specifically naming Captain Nick as fabulous for a bachelorette Tiki Boat tour, and describing genuinely thoughtful, easy support from Captain Spencer, Captain Doug, and Evan during a memorial ash-scattering trip. The business is also dog-friendly, with pet-friendly rentals and sailing charters to North Anclote Sandbar Island for pups to explore and splash.

Hours run Monday 9am-5pm, Thursday-Sunday 9am-5pm, closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
