A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Clearwater Marine Aquarium
Unlike your typical aquarium, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a working marine life hospital dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and release of marine animals. It gained international fame as the home of Winter the Dolphin, and continues that legacy today by educating visitors about marine conservation. It is a fantastic destination for school field trips , scout troops, and educational tours. Groups can see rescued sea turtles, otters, pelicans, and dolphins up close.
Why visit by bus: Parking at the aquarium can fill up quickly, especially during spring break and summer vacation. When you book a charter bus, your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance for immediate access to the exhibits. Teachers and chaperones will appreciate the ease of keeping students organized, and the onboard DVD players are perfect for watching educational documentaries on the ride over. There is designated bus parking available, making the logistics seamless.

Pier 60 at Clearwater Beach
Pier 60 is the heartbeat of Clearwater Beach. This iconic 1,080-foot fishing pier and recreational park is famous for its daily "Sunsets at Pier 60" festival, which features artisans, street performers, and live music as the sun dips below the Gulf of Mexico. It is a must-visit for family reunions, wedding parties looking for photo ops, and anyone wanting to experience the quintessential Florida beach vibe. The area also features a massive playground and plenty of space for sandcastle competitions.
Why visit by bus: Clearwater Beach traffic is notorious, particularly on the roundabout and along Mandalay Avenue. Finding parking for 10 or 20 separate cars is nearly impossible during peak hours. A private minibus rental solves this instantly. Your driver can navigate the causeway traffic and drop your group off steps from the sand. You can store coolers, umbrellas, and beach chairs in the undercarriage luggage bays, keeping the aisles clear and your legs uncramped. After a long day in the sun, there is nothing better than stepping into a powerful air-conditioned bus for the ride back to the hotel.
Address: 10 Pier 60 Dr, Clearwater, FL 33767
BayCare Ballpark
Home to the Philadelphia Phillies during Spring Training and the Clearwater Threshers (Single-A affiliate) during the summer, BayCare Ballpark is widely considered one of the best minor league stadiums in the country. It features a tiki bar in left field, diverse food options, and a family-friendly atmosphere. It is a prime destination for corporate outings , senior citizen groups, and sports teams looking for a fun evening out.
Why visit by bus: Sporting events are better when the whole group is together. Renting a charter bus allows your group to tailgate effectively or simply arrive in unison without the hassle of meeting up at a specific gate. If you are a senior group, a charter bus offers comfortable, accessible boarding and drop-off right at the stadium gates, minimizing the amount of walking required. Plus, you can enjoy a cold beverage at the game knowing you have a designated driver waiting to take you home on time.
Address: 601 N Old Coachman Rd, Clearwater, FL 33765
Ruth Eckerd Hall
For a touch of culture and world-class entertainment, Ruth Eckerd Hall is the place to be. This 73,000-square-foot performing arts center hosts everything from Broadway shows and classical concerts to rock legends and comedy acts. It is a favorite for large groups, including church congregations, alumni associations, and school bands. The acoustics are phenomenal, and the venue is designed to offer great views from every seat.
Why visit by bus: Coordinating arrival times for a show is critical—you don't want half your group missing the opening act because they were stuck in traffic on McMullen Booth Road. A charter bus rental ensures everyone arrives simultaneously. For school bands or performance groups, a full-size motorcoach offers ample storage space beneath the bus for instruments, costumes, and equipment, ensuring everything stays secure and dry during transit.
Address: 1111 N McMullen Booth Rd, Clearwater, FL 33759
Moccasin Lake Nature Park
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches, Moccasin Lake Nature Park is a 51-acre nature preserve that offers a serene escape into Florida’s native ecosystem. The park features boardwalks through the oak hammock, educational classes, a birds of prey exhibit, and a turtle pond. It is an ideal spot for scout troops, environmental clubs, and groups looking for a quiet, educational picnic spot.
Why visit by bus: Navigating a caravan of cars to a hidden nature park can lead to people getting lost. A charter bus keeps the group cohesive. The bus provides a great base of operations for a day trip; you can leave heavy lunches and extra supplies on the bus while you hike the trails. Plus, the ride over is a great opportunity for teachers or tour leaders to use the onboard PA system to brief the group on the wildlife they might encounter.
Address: 2750 Park Trail Ln, Clearwater, FL 33759
Sand Key Park
If Clearwater Beach is the energetic party spot, Sand Key Park is its relaxed, sophisticated neighbor. Located just across the Clearwater Pass, this park offers a wide, white-sand beach, picnic shelters, a dog park, and plenty of parking space for large vehicles. It is a fantastic location for company picnics, large family reunions, and wedding ceremonies that want a beach backdrop without the massive crowds of Pier 60.
Why visit by bus: While Sand Key has parking, paying the meters for dozens of vehicles adds up fast. A charter bus rental consolidates those costs and simplifies the logistics. We can shuttle your wedding guests from a hotel in downtown Clearwater or Tampa directly to the beachside pavilion. With the ample storage of a 56-passenger coach, you can easily transport tents, catering supplies, and coolers for a massive family barbecue without needing separate cargo vans.
Address: 1060 Gulf Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767
Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre
Located in the historic downtown Cleveland Street District, the Capitol Theatre is a beautifully restored venue dating back to 1921. It offers a more intimate setting than Ruth Eckerd Hall and hosts a variety of concerts, comedians, and classic movie screenings. The surrounding district has seen a revitalization, with plenty of cafes and restaurants perfect for a pre-show dinner.
Why visit by bus: Downtown Clearwater is charming but has limited street parking. A minibus rental is perfect for navigating the downtown streets. Your driver can drop your group off right in front of the marquee for a VIP experience. This is especially popular for bachelorette parties or corporate outings—start with dinner at a local bistro and then head to a show, all without worrying about moving cars or feeding parking meters.
Address: 405 Cleveland St, Clearwater, FL 33755
Celebration Station
When you need to burn off energy, Celebration Station is the go-to entertainment complex in Clearwater. Featuring go-karts, bumper boats, mini-golf, batting cages, and a massive arcade, it’s a paradise for youth groups, sports teams celebrating a season victory, and graduation parties. It’s loud, fun, and offers pizza buffets that cater specifically to large groups.
Why visit by bus: Safety and accountability are key when traveling with groups of children or teenagers. A charter bus keeps everyone contained in one vehicle, allowing chaperones to easily take attendance before and after the event. The climate-controlled cabin provides a much-needed cool-down space after running around the go-kart track in the Florida humidity. Plus, the onboard WiFi keeps the kids entertained during the drive so parents and teachers can relax.
Address: 24546 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33763

Can we drink alcohol on the bus?
In most cases, yes! If everyone on board is 21 or older, you are generally permitted to consume alcohol on the bus.
