A Little About Chadillac Adventures
Chadillac Adventures was started by Chad Mead in 2019. We offer rentals and tours with boats, paddleboards and kayaks for families, couples, and anyone who loves to be out on the water! Around here we like to say, “The ship don’t make the captain, the CAPTAIN makes the SHIP!”
We love to give people the joy and sense of adventure that comes with boating or paddling around the waterways of Tampa Bay and surrounding areas. We couldn’t be more proud to have opened up our second location on Clearwater Beach with our main location at Clearwater’s “hidden gem” — Cove Cay Marina.
Our mission statement is simple, to give fun and family-friendly adventures on the water to everyone! We have great experience and knowledge of the waterways around Cove Cay and hope to give you and your group an adventure they won’t forget anytime soon!
A Message from Our Founder, Chad Mead
Hi, I’m Chad and I’m proud to bring you Chadillac Adventures!
From the moment I stepped foot on a paddleboard to recently building a custom commercial boat, I knew it was my passion to be on the water. And now I’ve been blessed to be able to show others some of the most incredible waterways in this area.
Florida is known for its sandy beaches, of course, but beyond the beaches are over 1,000 springs that hold shimmering shades of aqua blues and emerald greens. From deep within the “Florida Aquifer” eight billion gallons of water flow from the Florida Springs each day at a constant 72°.
Which leads to summer adventures being great for a “cool down” and winter adventures are fantastic to see a “manatee express!”
I have nothing against white sandy beaches and sandbars; they are an absolute must when visiting the Sunshine State. We are pleased that in the past year we have grown at Chadillac Adventures and we now offer Clearwater Beach boat tours and sunset cruises. We give you great access to all the local gem spots.
Whether playing on a sandbar or watching the sun go down, we hope to see you on the water soon!
Remember – “The ship don’t make the captain, the CAPTAIN makes the SHIP!”
