Field Experience Inquiry

  • Please choose the boat program you are registering for.
  • Floating Classroom

    Students will learn about Clearwater Bay and all of its inhabitants while aboard our boats. Your students will now be able to directly apply what they have learned in your classrooms to the real world environment, providing students with a unique learning experience. Boat availability and departure times may vary dependent upon season.

  • Sea Life Safari Charter

    Enjoy a private 90-minute scenic eco-boat cruise around our local estuary for your group. Be a part of citizen science, and observe data collection in action, as we perform a net pull and conduct a “show and tell” onboard of sea creatures found in the grass beds and sand flats of the bay. Get your feet wet at a local shell island and collect seashells.* See local wildlife above and below the water! Boat availability and departure times may vary dependent upon season. *Island stop may be canceled due to weather inaccessibility, and boat routes may be altered by captain at any time.
