Day charters run across Tampa Bay and down the coast toward Naples. For longer trips, Velare builds custom offshore itineraries to the Florida Keys, Key West, Bimini, and the Bahamas, planned around your destination, timing, and crew.

Yes. Champagne packages, catering and drinks, decorations, and birthday or bachelorette setups can all be arranged as part of the booking. Tell the crew what the day is for and they will build around it.
