Head out into the waters to check out some of Florida's natural wildlife and breathtaking views of the area aboard a cruise from Hubbard's Marina. Do not forget your camera and binoculars because there is an abundance of wildlife just waiting to be seen and captured (on a camera of course!), which includes pelicans, egrets, herons, osprey, bald eagles, dolphins, and the occasional manatee here and there. Captains are well educated not only about the wildlife, but also about the historical aspects of the surrounding areas. As the tour proceeds, guests will be treated to knowledge of history, local celebrities, events and features about some of the waterfront homes as they pass by. The boat called the Sea Adventure is a must do when taking a sightseeing tour on the water. It is the largest catamaran (Big Blue 80-passenger) in the Tampa Bay area. It is the perfect way to enjoy the dolphins swimming through the waters. There are also sunset cruises into the Gulf of Mexico and fishing charters available through Hubbard's Marina.
