Dock wisdom

Longboat Key has no major marina — most charters depart from Sarasota Marina or the AMI bridge area.

New Pass (south tip) and Longboat Pass (north tip) are the dolphin hot spots — the passes concentrate baitfish.

Beer Can Island (Greer) is reachable by wading at low tide from the south end of Lido Key, or by boat any tide.

Manatees frequent the Sarasota Bay side of Longboat Key — kayakers see them most often in morning outings.

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.
