While it may rain frequently in Sarasota, the storms are almost always scattered and very short in duration, often times only lasting a few minutes and then the sun is shining again. If you're traveling to Sarasota in the cooler months of the year, be sure to pack some layers to wear while on your boating trip, especially if you plan to go yachting in the evening. If you're traveling during the summer months, remember to stay hydrated and take some extra precautions when it comes to sun care.

When planning to rent a yacht in Sarasota, your Captain will keep an eye on the weather patterns. The Captain will warn you of any weather that could cause your yacht charter to be cancelled, rescheduled, or departure time pushed back. Safety is always our top priority.

Yacht Rental Sarasota

In the heart of Florida's sun-kissed coast, nestles a city with an irrefutable allure, Sarasota. What makes it such an attractive sojourn for those seeking a maritime escapade? With a vast, cerulean expanse of the Gulf of Mexico stretching out before it, Sarasota, with its tapestry of islands, mangrove forests, and crystal-clear waters, exudes an elemental charm that one would be hard-pressed to resist. This allure is further heightened by the city's thriving marine ecosystem, a veritable aquatic symphony, teeming with vibrant fish species and other magnificent denizens of the deep.

The Lure of Sarasota: A Natural Enclave and Maritime Delight

Yacht Rental Sarasota

Thus, to rent a yacht in Sarasota is to court an intimate relationship with the sea, to embark on a journey that allows you to encounter the ocean's vast expanse and her multitudinous creatures in their full, breathtaking grandeur. It is also to explore a city whose cultural and natural beauty, from its world-renowned art scene to its pristine beaches, are best appreciated from the deck of a magnificent yacht.

A Guide to Sarasota's Must-Visit Locations

🚢 Sarasota Bay

Begin your aquatic adventure in the expansive Sarasota Bay. The bay's sheltered waters and plethora of marinas make it an excellent starting point. As you sail, relish the view of Sarasota's charming skyline that playfully shimmers on the water surface. With its rich biodiversity, the bay is also an enticing spot for fishing and wildlife spotting, where you may catch a glimpse of playful dolphins or docile manatees in their natural habitats.

🚢 Siesta Key

Travel south from Sarasota Bay and you'll encounter Siesta Key, a barrier island famous for its white sandy beaches that have been lauded as some of the world's finest. The island's tranquil waters offer an inviting respite for a swim or a quiet lunch on board, while its vibrant shore teems with beach bars, seafood restaurants, and boutiques.

🚢 Longboat Key

North of Sarasota Bay lies Longboat Key. A more serene and less crowded alternative to Siesta Key, it boasts 12 miles of quiet beaches and the serene Joan M. Durante Community Park, perfect for peaceful shore excursions. The island's luxurious resorts and fine dining restaurants also provide the opportunity for some well-deserved indulgence.

🚢 Anna Maria Island

Further north, you'll find Anna Maria Island. This quaint, Old Florida-style island is ideal for a slower-paced, laid-back day of exploration. Its three small cities — Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach — each offer their own unique charm. Take a moment to disembark and traverse the island's pine avenues, or enjoy the brilliant sunsets that the island is renowned for from the comfort of your yacht.

Just west of Sarasota, Lido Key beckons with its crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches. A visit to Ted Sperling Park, located at the southern tip of Lido Key, offers a unique opportunity to explore the meandering water trails through lush mangrove tunnels via kayak or paddleboard.

🚢 Venice Inlet

Journey south past Siesta Key, and you'll reach the Venice Inlet. Known for its warm waters and fossil-laden shores, the area is dubbed the "Shark Tooth Capital of the World." Snorkelers and divers flock here in search of prehistoric shark teeth washed ashore from the sea. The nearby city of Venice, with its Italian Renaissance-style architecture and beautiful boulevards, is worth exploring for a taste of Europe in Florida.

🚢 Egmont Key

Sail across the mouth of Tampa Bay, and you'll arrive at Egmont Key, an island brimming with history and natural beauty. Accessible only by boat, the island offers a unique combination of wildlife viewing, with sea turtles and shorebirds abound, and historical sightseeing. Visit the Egmont Key Lighthouse, standing since 1858, or the remnants of Fort Dade, a relic from the Spanish-American War.

🚢 Cabbage Key

For a trip back in time, navigate your yacht towards Cabbage Key, located north of Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Known as the inspiration for Jimmy Buffett's hit song "Cheeseburger in Paradise," this island is virtually unchanged over the decades. Dotted with old Florida-style buildings, the island offers a laid-back atmosphere perfect for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle.

🚢 Boca Grande

Venture further north and you'll encounter Boca Grande on Gasparilla Island, a place famed for its world-class tarpon fishing. The island's historical lighthouse, charming downtown with locally-owned shops and eateries, and seven miles of pristine white sand beaches all make Boca Grande a delightful spot to drop anchor and explore.

🚢 Tampa Bay

An extended trip northward would take you to Tampa Bay, Florida's largest open-water estuary. From the vibrant cityscape of Tampa, bustling with museums, restaurants, and an array of nightlife options, to the soft sands of Clearwater Beach, the area offers something for everyone.

To experience Sarasota by yacht is to truly immerse oneself in the region's natural beauty, rich culture, and vibrant lifestyle. From the bustling cityscape of Sarasota Bay to the serene beaches of Longboat Key, each destination offers a unique glimpse into the heart of this maritime paradise. So hoist your sails or rev your engines, and prepare for a journey that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary.

The Art of Preparation: Considerations Before Renting a Yacht in Sarasota

Yacht Rental Sarasota

The act of renting a yacht, however, should never be undertaken without a judicious degree of forethought. It is as much an art as a science, a delicate dance of considerations that require the discerning eye of a seafarer, the patience of a cartographer, and the wisdom of a sage.

Before renting a yacht in Sarasota, it's crucial to consider the size and type of yacht that would best suit your needs, as well as the skill level required to navigate such a vessel. Sarasota's waters are known for their unpredictable nature, with a serenity that could swiftly give way to capricious weather conditions. Hence, a yacht should be chosen not just for its luxurious amenities, but for its durability, seaworthiness, and ease of maneuverability.

It's also prudent to research the potential routes and destinations your voyage might encompass. Sarasota's coastline is a variegated tapestry of hidden inlets, sandy beaches, and bountiful fishing grounds, each possessing their own unique attractions and challenges. Understanding these environments and tailoring your journey to them can greatly enrich your yachting experience.

The Quintessential Vessel: Choosing the Best Yacht for Sarasota's Waters

Selecting the right yacht for your journey through Sarasota's waters is a matter of considerable significance. After all, your yacht is more than merely a vehicle—it is your temporary home, your window into the world of the sea, your trusted companion in this dance with the elements.

In the context of Sarasota, a mid-sized motor yacht or sailing yacht would make an excellent choice. With its combination of size, stability, and speed, a mid-sized yacht is versatile enough to navigate Sarasota's varying water conditions and shallow waters while offering ample space and comfort. Such a vessel is designed to facilitate both a leisurely exploration of Sarasota's tranquil waters and a thrill-filled adventure into the open sea, depending on your inclination.

A mid-sized motor yacht would be particularly well-suited for those who value speed and convenience, and perhaps prefer a more hands-off approach to navigation. On the other hand, a sailing yacht offers an unrivaled opportunity to engage more deeply with the sea, to harness the wind as your ally and navigate the waters using a combination of skill, intuition, and experience. This is a more participatory experience, one that engenders a profound connection between the sailor, the yacht, and the sea.

Regardless of the type of yacht chosen, it's crucial to ensure that it's well-equipped with all the necessary safety and navigation equipment, as well as creature comforts to make your journey a memorable one. Also, a reliable and knowledgeable crew would prove invaluable, providing you with the expertise needed to navigate Sarasota's waters and enhance your yachting experience.

To charter a yacht in Sarasota is to immerse oneself in an experience where culture, nature, and adventure converge. It is an exploration of a coastal city that resonates with vibrant life, a city that offers to the discerning mariner a feast of experiences that delight the senses and ignite the imagination. With the right preparation, the perfect yacht, and a spirit of adventure, Sarasota awaits to unfold its maritime treasures before your eyes.

Your Queries Answered

As we venture deeper into the heart of Sarasota's maritime splendor, it is only natural for questions to emerge like a pod of dolphins surfacing from the ocean's depths. With this in mind, we've taken the liberty to curate and address a selection of commonly asked queries. We believe that every question is a lantern, casting its light on yet unseen facets of our journey. Therefore, we hope this segment aids you in your quest for knowledge, making your maritime experience in Sarasota even richer.

What is the best time of year to rent a yacht in Sarasota?

While Sarasota's temperate climate makes it a year-round destination, the best time to rent a yacht would be between March and May, or October and November. These periods offer ideal sailing conditions with moderate temperatures, lower humidity, and fewer tourists.

Do I need a special license to charter a yacht in Sarasota?

If you intend to operate the yacht yourself, you would need a valid boating license. However, most yacht charter companies offer crewed yachts, which do not require you to have a license since the crew will be responsible for operating the yacht.

What should I pack for my yachting adventure?

Essentials include sun protection (sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses), comfortable clothing, swimsuits, and non-slip shoes for on-deck activities. Also consider bringing binoculars for wildlife viewing, a camera for capturing memories, and any personal items you might need.

Is it safe to swim in Sarasota's waters?

Sarasota's waters are generally safe for swimming. However, as with any natural body of water, it's important to be aware of local marine life, currents, and to never swim alone. Certain areas may also have rules and regulations about swimming that you should follow.

How can I respect the local marine environment while yachting?

Practicing "Leave No Trace" principles is essential. Avoid littering, respect local wildlife by maintaining a safe distance, and adhere to any area-specific environmental guidelines. Consider eco-friendly options, such as biodegradable sunscreens, and limit the use of plastic onboard.

Each question leads us further into the captivating realm of yachting in Sarasota, shedding light on previously uncharted territories. As we continue to navigate these waters together, may this dialogue deepen our understanding, enrich our experience, and kindle an enduring love for Sarasota's maritime grandeur.

Scot was more than accommodating for 5 ladies visiting Siesta Key!! His boat was spacious, extremely clean, respectful, good music, and had a great first mate! If you’re debating booking, don’t think twice, book it! We loved our day so much! Thank you!!

Truly awesome day on the water with Shawn. Great communication. Easy directions for where to meet him. Impeccable boat that was so comfortable. Cooler with ice. Comfy floats. And great recommendations for our itinerary. Definitely booking with him again next year!

The Ultimate Day Boat for Sandbar Hopping & Cruising

Incredible boat, exactly as described. More than enough room for our group of 7. Captain Allen was amazing! He gave us a little bit of everything we asked for (going faster, going slower, swimming, giving info about the area). Would absolutely book again.

martin

We are a family of 7 traveling along the east coast as a family and had a memorable day with Aaron’s boat: perfect in each and every way: easy to communicate: boat easy to handle, really friendly! If we come back we will definitely book his boat again 👍🏻

Stunning Center Console for Daily Rental in Sarasota

We had a wonderful day of boating with the family. Oleg was very easy to work with and super responsive to questions. We will definitely be back!

Everything from the boat to the itinerary to Captain Shawn himself were more perfect than you could possibly imagine! He had the perfect day planned based on what we said we were looking for and he hit every mark. He made sure the kids had a day to remember and the adults got to relax! He even made sure we always had a drink in hand from the cooler we stuffed full of drinks and snacks. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Captain Shawn. He’s part of the family now and we’ll never book with anyone else. Thank you for the perfect day on the water! ❤️

New Sarasota Performing Arts Center: Architects unveil initial designs with four buildings

Portrait of Jay Handelman

The architects designing the new Sarasota Performing Arts Cente r have unveiled initial conceptual plans that would create four separate and distinct buildings along U.S. 41, the project straddling the 10th Street canal into Centennial Park.

At the first of two public town hall sessions Wednesday, architects from Renzo Piano Building Workshop , the Italian-based firm selected to design the building, and Sarasota’s Sweet Sparkman , the architects of record and designers of The Bay, shared initial designs.

The new facility will be built in collaboration with Bay Park Conservancy, which will eventually transform the Sarasota Bayfront by turning most of the area around the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall into a public park. While a panel appointed by the city is currently discussing alternative uses for the Van Wezel, the new performing arts hall is expected to become the main venue for touring Broadway shows, concerts, comedy and other acts.

For years, the Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation and Bay Park Conservancy used an initial rendering that included a large performing arts building on the north end of the site. Renzo Piano architects have upended that concept.

Partner Mark Carroll said the firm’s architects played around with multiple options before considering a configuration with four separate buildings, raised off the ground by 20 or more feet for public access underneath and views of the water. Those buildings would be aligned north to south with the existing Sarasota Municipal Auditorium, Art Center Sarasota, the now-closed Chidsey Library, Sarasota Garden Club and the Blue Pagoda.

“Sometimes you have to visit the site and walk around and look at it,” said Carroll. “What does the site tell you is the right thing to do?” The design plan was developed to allow more space for The Bay and to move the buildings further away from Sarasota Bay.

“It is important for us that this building speaks with the site,” said Renzo Piano associate Kerry Joyce. He said the arrangement of the four buildings “lets light permeate through the building. It creates a new pedestrian realm along Tamiami Trail, bringing an urbanity to the site that’s not there now. It leaves so much more park. Building in that (original location) fragments the park.”

By spacing the buildings apart with connective walkways, people driving west on 10th Street would still be able to see Sarasota Bay underneath and between the buildings. Joyce said it would distinguish the project from other performing arts centers in the country because of its connection with nature. The buildings are being positioned and designed to take advantage of the greenery that will be developed in the park.

Changing needs

Tania Castroverde Moskalenko , CEO of the Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation, which is overseeing the project, said the project’s goals are to create a public square where everyone can gather whether or not they see performances. The project would be a home for arts and culture and a legacy building that will be environmentally sustainable and coastally resilient. It would contain three theaters, the largest seating between 2,500 and 2,700 people (the Van Wezel holds 1,741); a medium venue seating between 600 and 800 people; and a smaller flexible seating space that could be used for performances, educational programs and special events.

“We want to make sure if there’s a new Broadway show, it comes here first,” Moskalenko said. “There is a lot of competition for the shows. We had a big hit with ‘Hamilton’ this year, but it took nine years to get here. We want to make sure those shows get here sooner.”

In the current plan, the northernmost building would be the main theater building. Moving south along U.S. 41 would be a lobby building where most people would enter, followed by the medium theater and the flexible seating venue.

She said the facility would also be open to local arts organizations, with which the Foundation would collaborate.

Moskalenko, noting that Foundation surveys showed that 71 percent of respondents favored creating a newer and larger performing arts venue than the Van Wezel, said the facility would be accessible to the entire community whether or not they attend a show. There could be cafes underneath the buildings and seating for people to gather to work on laptops or watch sunsets. Inside, there would be multiple food and beverage options and numerous possibilities for rental spaces for meetings and events.

Raising the buildings allows for more public access, Joyce said. “People not going to a show can walk under them because the space is always open. For us, it’s important the building doesn’t just shut off after a show. Given its size, it’s not a space that can really shut down completely. You need people to activate it during the day.”

Parking cars and launching boats

Architect Jerry Sparkman said the new configuration for Centennial Park would allow for eight boat launches, two more than it currently has. And by rearranging parking and other amenities, the space would allow for a small bait shop, a space for a dock master to help coordinate boat parking and new restroom facilities.

Car parking would likely be in several different locations north, south and east of the building to avoid “the complications of everyone exiting at one time. Decentralizing, spreading them out, creates a better flow of cars entering and leaving,” said Renzo Piano architect Ronan Dunphy. He said they tested distances for the current Van Wezel lot, and the slowest walkers might take about five minutes to get from the farthest spaces to the front door. Parking in the new lots would be no farther.

Creating a pedestrian promenade

Dunphy said the plans would create a roughly 2,300-foot-long promenade along U.S. 41 from the northern end of the project to the southern end by the Blue Pagoda.

“With the new addition of the performing arts center, we have an opportunity to unite this entire length of the area, and to create shade for people,” Dunphy said. The plan is to create a canopy of panels that would provide shade, collect water and collect solar energy. The walkway would be lit to provide safety for those exiting the center. 

The displayed design maps show that the western edge of the recently completed traffic circle at U.S. 41 and 10th Street, would be closed off, meaning other entry points to the buildings would be created.

Energy efficiency and resiliency

Carroll said that the building would be designed to LEED standards (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) to make it as resilient, sustainable and energy efficient as possible. 

Joyce said there would be solar panels on top of the buildings “to capture the sun’s energy. Performing arts centers use an incredible amount of energy, but with this scheme, we could create about 90 percent of the energy they need and in the off season, we could create energy that goes into The Bay park.”

The Foundation and the city of Sarasota have agreed to split the costs of the project, which has been estimated to be between $250 million and $300 million. Carroll said it’s far too early to discuss costs or the actual building designs or materials that will be used. But he said the firm looks “forward to building a project that will stand for 300 to 500 years.”

Dunphy said it also is too early to discuss what the theater spaces would look like. “We are working with various consultants, acoustics, theater designers and lighting.” He said the initial conceptual renderings displayed at the meetings “are just a suggestion of what it might look like.”

The reveal got some favorable reactions from city officials.

“I think it’s genius,” said Mayor Liz Albert about the idea of splitting up the building “and giving more space to the park.”

Vice Mayor Jennifer Ahearn-Koch, who has raised issues about the potential cost of the project – concerns she still has until the city knows exactly what it will cost – said she appreciated how “sensitive they are to the surrounding area, the people and boats.”

Ahearn-Koch said there can be some worry that an outside design firm might "impose their style” on a local community. “They did the opposite. I appreciate the thought that went into this, even though we don’t have a lot of details yet. I love the idea of the walkway. They’re sensitive to the idea of climate change and how they’re creating shade to mimic what you get from trees.”
