Join as for another Florida beach adventure as we island hop near Clearwater, FL. We join Captain Phil of Phil Good Tours on a tour out of the Home Port Marina in Palm Harbor, just a quick drive northeast of Clearwater Beach. From there we check out four different islands, two of which can only be accessed by boat. We'll also show you a couple top spots to grab food and drinks before and after your island hopping adventure.

Thank you so much to Captain Phil with Phil Good Tours for the complementary Island Hopping Tour. Without Phil’s collaboration and generosity, this video would not have been possible.

    They were having a jet ski meetup on Three Rooker that day, that's definitely not typical. Everyone seemed to be behaving and enjoying themselves. Usually it's far less crowded than that. Lots of boats and some jet skis. Anyway I just want to thank Jamie and Skylar for coming out on my boat and making such a fantastic video. We really had a great time, and yes, they are as nice in person as they appear to be in their videos! :-) -Capt Phil
  • This travel by boat 🚤 island hopping reminds me of my Bocas del Toro Panama 🇵🇦 trip. It was so beautiful and so were the prices. Next time I go I would really like my family to enjoy it with me. 😎 🏝️ 🦞
  • Love how all the boats and jetskis just park off on the Island and create their own party. Three Hooker Island must be really nice, as the tourist boats don't go there. We will have to give Captain Phil a call when we come visit one day 😁
  • @LJSW-rp6xm
    Woah 😎 would love to do this on my next visit to the Sunshine State. What a great way to spend a day. Florida in November looks a lot better than a cold and rainy UK in November 😢 Captain Phil looks like a cool guy too ✌️
  • @rhondalyn100
    This was a fun trip this morning! I always appreciate the fact you include maps in your videos for directional perspective...thanks for a great vid! 🙂
  • OMG, talk about jets ski village and would have to be hard to find a spot. I get the popularity, but there comes to a point where it's too much and I would go somewhere else - Nice pick going to the north Island instead. But I'm with Skylar, Good having your own tour and bringing the beer LOL I would like to give kite boarding a go one day, but not sure I would be able to do it...I'm sure it a real good arm workout too:) Good thing that hat was still floating when you went back for it ...I can say that's happened to me a couple of times too. Looks like this guy Phil puts on a great day for you and can tailor something around your needs. Well done guys, was a nice way to present the islands :)
  • Thank you for showing us all of these amazing islands! What an incredible vlog!
  • @LeBoof
    One of the great things about Florida is the beautiful weather to visit such amazing places. So beautiful
  • @DavidandSarah
    Wow that was SOOOO many jet skis! What an awesome day. So many beautiful beaches and and so much colourful, clear water.
  • What a great way to spend the day! I lost my hat the last time we visited Florida...wind gust blew it right off my head and out of the sunroof of our car! Haha! Thanks for the great video and thank you for including maps! I always pause on them and find them so helpful. Thanks guys!
  • @greg33770
    Thats nice....you kids sure get around ! OMG ! That south island was packed. The Fix looks like a nice spot. Always enjoy your informative videos !!👍
  • @BobCarlson
    It’s been a long time but this video made me really miss the days I had my own boat. Which it not the same as missing owning my own boat. It ran as much on dollars as it did on water. This is the perfect option.
  • I'm in Clearwater, and I'm in love with the beaches and those islands. You need to visit Passage Key, between Egmont Key and Anna Maria. Some people went fully naked at Passage Key 😄
  • @Mrermason
    Hi Skylar and Jamie. It was nice talking with you at the Light House Bar on Ocean Cay. We had a blast and hope you did too.
  • @jadeheart911
    You have no idea how much I needed this today ! I am snowed in here in Buffalo like Jack Nicholson in The Shining !!! It aint pretty !!! I think I will binge watch your past videos today to keep my sanity !!! I need to book with Captain Phil !
  • @LindsayLola_
    Amazing! FL has many awesome activities. Thank you for sharing.
  • @eprohoda
    How uu doing?!buddy-well recording.=))
  • Wow! Love how you guys traveled with style this trip stopping at all of your favorite island spots. It's quite different seeing the islands by boat instead of by land, but it's definitely more convenient!
  • I would totally book a tour like this, my husband would probably not want to though since he hates being out in the sun. I love how different each of the islands are and you guys certainly arrived in style with your private boat. I really liked the last spot with the pool and lights and the sunset. The food looked great but kind of on the expensive side - though a great location.
