About Dolphin Landings

Back in the early 1970’s, Captain Dan Peretz began taking guests out on his sail boat for one simple reason – so he could go sailing every day! Working directly off the beach near The Don Cesar Beach Resort… an idea was born to create a Full Service Charter Boat Center offering exceptional boating experiences on a wide range of yachts. For over five decades the loyal crews at Dolphin Landings Charter Boat Center have successfully delivered on that ambitious idea. The entire staff tirelessly works to promote the bay area’s unspoiled nautical beauty and relaxed tropical lifestyle enjoyed by millions of visitors from around the world. Take a ride aboard any of our sailing, fishing, and cruising vessels and you’ll see first hand how Dolphin Landings offers our guests much more than a great boat ride in the sunshine state!

We had THE best time! Such a beautiful yacht and Captain Scott and Ari were so friendly and knowledgeable. We learnt about sailing and enjoyed Scott’s knowledge about the local area and wildlife. If you want to do a boat trip in and around St Pete Beach, this is the only one to book!

Decided to take my wife and our 5 month old out for a dolphin tour for our anniversary. This was my first time ever on a sailboat, and it was a GREAT TRIP! We had Captain Jack and first mate R.E (sp?), and they were both awesome! Both did a great job of handling the boat, and even with 18mph winds, it was a smooth and enjoyable trip! Highly recommend them, and we plan to do it again...

We went on the shelling cruise the other day while on vacation. So glad we did as it was the highlight of the trip! Tom and Jim were wonderful guides, funny and informative. Shell Key Island was beautiful and we loved that we had such a large amount of time to wander the island and collect shells. There are all kinds out there! Even got lucky and found a few sand dollars.

We did a sunset sail with Dolphin Landings and the captain and the girl who works there really took care of us! Wonderful experience and a must to-do if you ever visit the Tampa/St. Petersburg area. Sunset is amazing and you can bring your own alcohol!
