Happy Hour Charter was inspired by a family tradition that began more than 40 years ago.
Ryne, a Chicago native named after baseball legend Ryne Sandberg, spent many days on the water with his grandfather, “Grandpa Gene” — or “Geno” — around Island Estates in Clearwater.
What started as simple family boat rides on "Happy Hour III" grew into unforgettable days filled with sunsets, dolphins, fishing, sandbar stops, waterfront restaurants, laughter, and the magic of Clearwater Beach.
Today, Ryne and his wife Lianne carry that tradition forward by creating those same joyful experiences for families, couples, friends, and visitors from around the world.
Our mission is simple:
to provide personal, meaningful, and unforgettable private boat adventures — the kind that bring people together and leave you smiling long after the day is over.
