The Low Tide Story
Low Tide began with a simple love for the water — the kind that draws you in, slows you down, and reminds you what living well really feels like. What started as laid-back days on the Gulf has grown into a family of unforgettable on-the-water experiences, all rooted in one idea: good vibes, great company, and the freedom to enjoy Florida’s coast your way.
At the heart of it all is Low Tide Tours, our locally owned floating tiki bar experience cruising the scenic waters of Sarasota, Siesta Key, Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, and Venice. Aboard our tiki boats, guests kick back with their favorite drinks, tropical music, and front-row views of crystal-clear water, playful dolphins, native birds, and some of the most breathtaking sunsets on the Gulf Coast. Every cruise is designed to feel effortless, social, and unforgettable — whether you’re celebrating something special or simply escaping into the moment.
That same passion for the water led us to expand into Sarasota Boat Tours, offering customized private charters aboard our comfortable Godfrey pontoon. These experiences are perfect for smaller groups looking to explore Sarasota Bay at their own pace — sightseeing, wildlife watching, sandbar hopping, or sunset cruising — all with smooth performance, safety, and flexibility at the core.
For those who want to take things higher, Parasail Low Tide delivers a whole new perspective. Using the newest parasailing technology and a state-of-the-art vessel built exclusively for parasailing, we offer safe, smooth, and exhilarating flights for up to 12 guests per trip. Riders can soar solo or tandem, gently lifting from the back deck as the Kevlar winch system reels out with near-effortless precision — creating a peaceful, awe-inspiring experience high above the water.
Low Tide is more than a collection of tours — it’s a lifestyle on the water. We operate seven days a week and welcome every kind of occasion, from birthdays and bachelorette parties to corporate outings and spontaneous sunset escapes. And we’re just getting started. In 2026, we’ll expand even further with the launch of kayaks and paddleboards at our Central Sarasota location, opening up even more ways to explore the coast.
At Low Tide, every experience is built around connection — to the water, to the people you’re with, and to the moment you’re in. Come aboard, slow down, and see the Gulf Coast the Low Tide way.
