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!”

Julius MartinkusApril 23, 2024Visited April 2024. Wonderful time! You will absolutely love the experience! When in Clearwater, visit Cadillac Adventures. You will love it. I've been doing it for a years!Fran LebelApril 22, 2024Hidden gem in Clearwater, bought a Groupon and decided to use it last weekend and boy were we impressed. Nice area to kayak, they have a snack bar on site serving chicken wings, and also serve beer and wine. Staff was really friendly, Garrett provided us with information on were to go and what we would see depending on the journey. You do have to enter Cove Cay condo's by taking a right hand turn, stopping at the security booth, then you can enter the Marina a short distance by taking the first left hand turn, be careful because you could miss the turn off Frontage Road into the condo area. We had a beautiful day on the water and forgot our cooler in the snack bar area, we called up the next day, were told they had it and picked it up. They are very nice, honest, friendly, group of people. Don't hesitate to check them out, check Groupon for coupons as well, as they honor Groupon deals.

Nice staff, sick yaks and beautiful location. Totally worth the price for the priceless experience <3 will be coming here every time now.April ShecterleApril 4, 2024This was our second “Chadillac Adventure,” and we return because it’s simply the best experience. Our family crosses a wide range of of proficiency when it comes to kayaking and paddle boarding. Chad ensures that each member of our family feels safe, has what they need for a great adventure, and has fun! Going out on the water with Chad is like going out with one of your favorite friends, who also happens to be an expert. The highest compliment that we can pay is that our most-uncomfortable-around-the-water daughter has clocked our Chadillac day on the water BOTH vacations as her favorite part of our trip. And Chad has had some big competition for activities. He’s truly doing it right. We would unreservedly recommend him and plan on a number three trip next spring break!Tresh SwedlundApril 2, 2024very satisfied. helpful, on point of where to go. gear was in good shape. family had a great time kayaking the areaTroy GagoApril 1, 2024Awesome tour, great guide, best part of our Tampa trip!
