Dock wisdom

Sarasota Marina on the bayfront is the main charter hub — 10 minutes from Lido Beach.

New Pass (north end of Lido) and Big Pass (south end) are the local fishing hot spots; each changes with the tide.

Manatees visit the Lido Key Intracoastal — kayakers see them regularly in morning outings.

South Lido mangrove kayaking is one of the most wildlife-dense paddling experiences in Sarasota County.

Operators are real local fixtures — confirm current sailing times and prices with each operator before you go. Countdowns run on the real local clock and the sunset sail time is computed from tonight’s actual sunset.
