Boat Tour

Published On: April 25, 2009

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take the boat tour of Tampa Bay with our company CENTURY 21 Beggins with our broker / captain Craig Beggins.  We boarded the vessel at Bella Sol Condominiums on Apollo Beach Blvd which by the way are excellent investment.  After boarding the boat we toured the area entering Tampa Bay via Bal Harbor.  Some of the areas we passed during our tour were the waterfront communities of Andalucia, Symphony Isles, and Mirabay.  As we entered the bay and passed the waterfront homes within Andalucia we were greeted by a couple of dolphins and the friendly residents out enjoying the Florida lifestyle.  We continued out into the bay watching the boat crash over the waves when we come to a stop to take in the views of the wonderful water.  In the distance you can see downtown Tampa to the right, and to the left you can see downtown St. Petersburg.  Looking further towards the horizon you can see the Sunshine Skyway Bridge to the south and to the north you can see Beer Can Island. 

What I found interesting during our boat tour, you can travel from Apollo Beach and reach the pier in downtown St. Petersburg in 20 minutes or the Convention Center in downtown Tampa in just about the same.  Both Tampa and St. Petersburg are 12 miles from Apollo Beach via the open water.  Also in Apollo Beach there are no bridges which allow you to have your sailboat and best of all dock it on your private dock behind your home.  Apollo Beach has over 40 miles of salt water canals and most are deep enough for the sailboats.

So to sum up the boat tour, Apollo Beach has some of the best boating areas within the State of Florida and it is right in our backyard.  The prices are right to buy, interest rates are at 30 year lows, and the inventory is high (however shrinking daily) which makes this the perfect time to buy. 

CENTURY 21 Beggins offers free boat tours of the Tampa area and I invite each and every one of you to take the tour.  The tours are conducted every Saturday morning and RSVP is required.  Call me today at 813.394.0764 to reserve your space or of course you can email me at KennySchaaf@century21beggins.com.
