A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch Orioles Spring Training at Ed Smith Stadium
For baseball fans, spring in Sarasota means one thing: the Baltimore Orioles. Ed Smith Stadium (2700 12th St, Sarasota, FL 34237), affectionately known as "Birdland South," is the spring training home of the O's. The stadium is a jewel of the Grapefruit League, featuring refurbished architecture that mimics the classic feel of Camden Yards. Every February and March, thousands of fans flock to the area to watch pre-season matchups, enjoy a hot dog, and soak up the Florida sunshine.
However, attending a game with a large group can be logistically challenging. Parking lots around 12th Street and Tuttle Avenue fill up rapidly, and coordinating a caravan of cars often results in split-up groups and missed innings. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Sarasota, your group travels together. Your driver can drop you off right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the gates while they handle the bus parking. After the final out, your air-conditioned bus will be waiting to whisk you away to dinner or back to your hotel, letting you skip the post-game traffic jam.
Rowing Regattas at Nathan Benderson Park
Sarasota isn't just about baseball; it is home to one of the premier rowing venues in North America. Nathan Benderson Park (5851 Nathan Benderson Cir, Sarasota, FL 34235) is a world-class, 600-acre community park that includes a 400-acre lake built specifically for sprint rowing. It has hosted major events like the World Rowing Championships, USRowing Youth National Championships, and numerous NCAA regattas. If you are a rowing team traveling to compete, or a group of spectators coming to watch the races, you need transportation that understands the scope of your equipment and the size of your roster.
Standard school buses simply don't offer the comfort or storage required for serious athletes. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays perfect for team gear, luggage, and coolers. Inside, athletes can relax in reclining seats with plenty of legroom to stretch out before a race. We can arrange shuttle services between your hotel and the park, ensuring your team arrives on time for weigh-ins and warm-ups. For spectators, a private minibus rental ensures you avoid the long walks from overflow parking lots, dropping you right near the grandstands.
Golf Trips and Tournaments in Sarasota
With dozens of manicured courses nestled between the Gulf Coast and the majestic oaks of Old Florida, Sarasota is a golfer's paradise. Planning a buddies' trip, a corporate tournament, or a charity golf outing? Coordinating tee times is hard enough without worrying about who is driving. Charter Bus Rental Company Sarasota offers the perfect transportation solution for golf groups. Whether you are playing the championship links at University Park Country Club (7671 The Park Blvd, University Park, FL 34201) or the historic Bobby Jones Golf Club (1000 Circus Blvd, Sarasota, FL 34232), we can get you there in style.
One of the biggest concerns for golf trips is equipment. A standard rideshare or rental car trunk rarely fits four sets of clubs comfortably. Our minibuses and charter buses offer ample storage space for golf bags, shoes, and luggage, ensuring your clubs arrive in perfect condition. Plus, having a private bus means the "19th hole" celebrations can continue comfortably. Enjoy drinks at the clubhouse or head to downtown Sarasota for a post-round dinner, knowing you have a designated driver ready to take everyone home comfortably.
Atlanta Braves Spring Training in North Port
Just a short drive south of Sarasota lies CoolToday Park (18800 S, W Villages Pkwy, Venice, FL 34293), the spring training home of the Atlanta Braves. Located in North Port within the West Villages district, this state-of-the-art facility attracts massive crowds from Sarasota and beyond. The drive down US-41 or I-75 can be heavy during peak season, but a charter bus rental turns the commute into part of the fun.
Gather your fan club, alumni association, or family reunion group and load up a bus for a day trip to North Port. With onboard amenities like WiFi and flat-screen TVs, you can watch highlight reels or pre-game analysis on the way to the stadium. Your driver will navigate the traffic circles and parking lots of Wellen Park, dropping your group curbside. If you want to make a full day of it, we can easily add a stop at the nearby Warm Mineral Springs Park or a local brewery in Venice before heading back to Sarasota.
Local High School & Youth Sports Transportation
Sarasota County is home to a fierce competitive sports scene, from the gridiron at Riverview High School (1 Ram Way, Sarasota, FL 34231) to soccer tournaments at the Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch (5895 Post Blvd, Lakewood Ranch, FL 34211). For coaches and athletic directors, transporting a team comfortably is the top priority. While yellow school buses are the traditional choice, they aren't always the best option for long-distance away games or tournaments that require peak athlete performance.
Charter Bus Rental Company Sarasota provides modern, comfortable motorcoaches that serve as a mobile locker room and rest zone. Athletes can use power outlets to keep devices charged, review game tape on onboard monitors, or simply catch a nap in a climate-controlled environment. We serve all local schools and youth leagues, providing reliable transportation to regional championships in Orlando, Miami, or Tampa. With dedicated drivers behind the wheel, coaches can focus on strategy and player management rather than navigation.
Day Trips to Tampa Bay for Pro Sports
While Sarasota has amazing local sports, the major leagues are just an hour north in the Tampa Bay area. Whether you want to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium (4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607), catch the Tampa Bay Lightning on the ice at Amalie Arena (401 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602), or root for the Rays at Tropicana Field (1 Tropicana Dr., St. Petersburg, FL 33705), Charter Bus Rental Company Sarasota makes the trip effortless.
Driving over the Skyway Bridge and navigating Tampa traffic can be stressful, especially for a large group trying to stay together. A private charter bus rental allows you to tailgate on the road and ensures everyone arrives at the stadium together. Forget paying exorbitant parking fees for multiple vehicles; your bus will drop you near the entrance and wait for you until the final whistle blows. It is the ultimate VIP experience for sports fans in Sarasota.
The Best Sports Bars for Post-Game Celebrations
Sometimes the best place to watch the game isn't in the stadium—it's surrounded by friends, wings, and cold drinks at a top-tier sports bar. Sarasota has an incredible selection of venues to catch the big game, and a party bus rental is the best way to do a bar crawl or get a large group to a viewing party comfortably.
Have your driver drop you off at Gecko’s Grill & Pub (multiple locations), a local staple known for its sports coverage and hearty food. Or, head to Evie’s Tavern & Grill on Main Street (1560 Main St, Sarasota, FL 34236) to combine bowling with your sports viewing. For a more upscale vibe, check out Raffurty's Bar and Grill (1888 Main St, Sarasota, FL 34236). With a Charter Bus Rental Company Sarasota bus, no one has to miss a play to move the car, and everyone gets home comfortably at the end of the night.
