Choose the charter length that fits your ideal day on Tampa Bay. Every Sweet Escape experience is private, captained, and all-inclusive for groups of up to six guests.
Whether you want a sunset cruise, relaxing afternoon, swim stop, special celebration, or full-day adventure, we will help shape the experience around your group, charter length, and current conditions.
Perfect for couples, small groups, first-time guests, date nights, proposals, birthdays, and anyone who wants a relaxing private catamaran experience without spending the entire day on the water.
Enjoy a relaxed introduction to Sweet Escape and Tampa Bay. This shorter charter focuses on scenic cruising, sailing when conditions allow, music, photographs, and time enjoying the boat with your group. The two-hour charter is ideal for couples, date nights, proposals, short celebrations, and guests looking for a simple but memorable private experience.
Our three-hour charter gives your group additional time to relax and enjoy the views at a comfortable pace. It is a popular option for daytime cruising, special occasions, and private sunset experiences. Depending on your selected departure time and conditions, your experience can include scenic cruising, sailing, skyline views, music, photographs, and a beautiful Tampa Bay sunset.
Our four- and five-hour charters combine scenic cruising with more time for swimming, anchoring, paddleboards, kayaks, and relaxing on the water.
Choose a six-, seven-, or eight-hour charter when you want more flexibility, longer routes, extended swim time, or a complete day aboard Sweet Escape.
Your route and activities will depend on weather, water conditions, timing, and your group’s priorities.
Enjoy a balanced combination of cruising and time on the water. The four-hour charter provides enough time to explore Tampa Bay and, when conditions allow, anchor in a protected area for swimming and water activities. Your group can prioritize an anchored swim stop or spend more time cruising toward scenic areas such as the Sunshine Skyway Bridge or Fort De Soto.
The five-hour charter provides greater flexibility for groups that want to enjoy the water without feeling rushed. Spend more time swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, relaxing on the floating mat, or cruising through Tampa Bay. We can shape the experience around a longer anchored stop, additional cruising, or a combination of both.
Enjoy an extended private charter with time for scenic cruising, swimming, anchoring, paddleboards, kayaks, music, photographs, and a relaxed pace. This option is ideal for guests who want more time than a traditional half-day charter while keeping the itinerary focused on Tampa Bay, swimming, and enjoying the boat.
Spend a full day experiencing Sweet Escape with enough time for longer routes, extended swim stops, and destination-based itineraries. When weather and water conditions allow, the seven-hour charter may include destinations such as Egmont Key, Fort De Soto, or another suitable island or anchorage. Your captain will recommend the best itinerary for the day.
Our eight-hour charter offers the most complete Sweet Escape experience, with the greatest flexibility for cruising, swimming, sightseeing, island time, and relaxing onboard. When conditions allow, your day may include an Egmont Key or Fort De Soto itinerary followed by a beautiful Tampa Bay sunset. This option is best for guests who want an unhurried full day and the freedom to experience several parts of the area.
