About

Experience Sarasota From the Water

For more than 20 years, Siesta Key Watersports has been helping families, visitors and groups experience Sarasota from the water.

Family-owned and operated, SKW offers parasailing, jet ski rentals, boat rentals, banana boat rides, dolphin and wildlife cruises, sandbar adventures, sunset cruises and private charters throughout Sarasota, Siesta Key and Venice.

Private Charters & Group Experiences

Aboard Island Time, our spacious 48-passenger catamaran, we host corporate outings, hospitality events, celebrations, family gatherings and custom group experiences on the water.

From dolphin and wildlife cruising to sandbar stops, sunset experiences and thoughtfully planned private events, Island Time offers a flexible setting for groups looking to experience Sarasota in a memorable way.

SMILE: Sarasota Maritime Initiative for Learning & Education

For us, being on the water is about more than recreation.

Through SMILE, we are creating opportunities for children to experience Sarasota’s waterways while learning about marine life, conservation and responsible recreation.

Siesta Key Watersports is also an approved Step Up For Students direct provider, allowing eligible Florida scholarship students to participate in select educational and outdoor experiences.

More Than a Day on the Water

As we continue to grow, we are expanding the ways we serve local families, visitors, businesses and organizations while creating new opportunities to connect people with Sarasota’s waterways.

Whether you’re parasailing above the Gulf, racing across the water on a banana boat, spotting dolphins in Sarasota Bay, spending the afternoon at a sandbar or gathering aboard Island Time for a private event, our goal is the same: to create memorable experiences on the water and share the very best of Sarasota’s coastal lifestyle.
