The cruise will continue to offer a view of the Powel Crosley Estate from the water.
• Longboat Key - After admiring the historic mansions along the bay, the cruise will head to New Pass Sandbar, an ideal location to observe a variety of fish, dolphins, and manatees.

As the boat continues, a stop at New Pass Grill and Bait Shop is possible for sun protection gear or a sandwich.

From the water, you can view the Historic Spanish Point, a 33-acre archaeological, historical, and environmental museum park on Little Sarasota Bay.
