Rent snorkeling gear. A list of companies and charter boats that rent water gear including snorkeling equipment is available on the Sunny Florida Vacation Rentals website. You will need a mask, snorkel and fins to snorkel properly.
Book a charter boat for a guided snorkeling tour. There are many charter boats on Anna Maria Island and off the mainland that offer fishing, sightseeing, snorkeling and scuba day-trips. You can either rent a whole boat and the captain will take you and your friends or family on a private trip to a snorkeling spot, or you can sign up as part of a public group. Egmont Kerry Ferry and Blue Water Explorers Dive Charters are just two of the many charter boats available.
Sign up for an overnight or multi-day snorkeling trip. A multi-day trip will allow you to be able to swim, sightsee and kayak in addition to snorkeling. Windsong Sailing Charters offers a three-day overnight sailing cruise package in the waters around Anna Maria Island.
