Meet Our Crew
Captain Jordan Sandlin
Captain Jordan’s passion for the ocean and watersports has been a lifelong journey. From his early days as a young boy, he dreamed of becoming a captain and running his own charters in Florida. Growing up in a small town in Indiana, he spent summers in Florida with his family, nurturing his love for the sea.
It was during his time living in Las Vegas, NV, that Captain Jordan’s affinity for watersports truly blossomed. Starting his own watersports charter company specializing in wakesurfing and wakeboarding on Lake Mead, he honed his skills and expertise before relocating to the picturesque shores of Clearwater Beach, FL.
Beyond his entrepreneurial pursuits, Captain Jordan is deeply passionate about ocean conservation, with a particular fondness for whales and sharks. In his free time, you’ll find him indulging in his love for the ocean, whether he’s on boats, diving into the depths, catching waves on his surfboard, reeling in a big catch while fishing, or tearing up dirt trails on his racing dirt bikes. His dedication to both adventure and conservation embodies his commitment to living life to the fullest while protecting the natural wonders of the ocean.
Captain Ryan Huffman
Captain Ryan’s affinity for the water traces back to his childhood, where he spent countless hours on the waves, fueling his love for the ocean. With summers spent on the beaches of Florida, Ryan’s connection to the sea deepened, shaping his passion for marine conservation. He’s known for his dedication to protecting our oceans, often seen picking up trash during sightseeing tours and advocating for environmental stewardship.
Hailing from the same town as his cousin Jordan, the two embarked on their venture together in Clearwater Beach. Ryan’s aquatic pursuits began with jet skis and pontoons, evolving over time to include wakesurfing and wakeboarding. Despite his expanding repertoire of watersports, Ryan still finds joy in the simplicity of jet-skiing, seizing any opportunity to tear up the water in his free time. His unwavering commitment to both adventure and conservation reflects his deep-rooted connection to the sea and his desire to preserve its beauty for generations to come.
Nicole Bohaczyk2022-05-16We did the Seas the Day Excursion with Captain Ryan! It was a family of 6 adults and we all had a blast. Ryan pointed out and stopped to show all the dolphins along the way to Tarpon Springs. Tarpon Springs was a cute town and perfect for lunch, but we packed sandwiches instead. On the way back we stopped at a sandbar beach area to relax and hang out. The beach was great and had clear water where you could see crabs and sea snails. Super fun and highly recommend!
Michelle Bury2022-05-15We did a surf tour and it was awesome!!!!! Ryan and Jordan were incredibly nice and helpful. Super encouraging of our group and able to get everyone up to surf. The boat was clean and well kept and put out a great wave, the marina was a convenient spot to get to, and overall we had an amazing time! We even spotted a couple of dolphins and they ended up jumping in our surf wave while we were riding. It was an unforgettable experience and we will definitely book it again next time we’re in town!
Emma L2022-05-02We loved our sunset pontoon ride! It was a relaxing way to end our vacation on Clearwater Beach! Captain Ryan was great, sharing knowledge of the area as we rode to Caladesi Island and then out the gulf to watch the sunset! We even got to see dolphins! We can’t wait to come back for more rides on future trips to Clearwater!
Stacey Lainhart2022-05-02We had the absolute best time with Jordan and Ryan at Clearwake Watersports. We initially booked a Pontoon boat with Jordan. He took us to an island to look for shells, swim, and have fun. He was extremely knowledgeable. We saw dolphins as well. It was such a great day, that we booked again the next day to do wakeboarding with Jordan and Ryan. They were patient and great at trying to teach us to wakeboard. We had an absolute blast both days. Highly, highly recommend.
Gina Audin2022-04-27Talk about the best memories made on vacation! We are over the moon excited that we found Jordan and his pontoon boat to take us on a charter tour of the most beautiful spots on the water that we would have never found on our own. We were blown away by his knowledge of the water, the boat, the area and all of the creation in the sea. Our husbands talked his ear off the entire 3 hour tour which then turned into a 4 hour tour the day after. We knew getting off the boat our first day that it absolutely couldn’t be our last. It just wasn’t enough time! We booked another tour right then and there! Jordan was incredible with our boys ages 7 & 12. Rolled out the water mat and even brought them to a special spot to dive for sand dollars. He scoured the beach looking for cool shells with us too. Jordan and his family have a beautiful, bright future with this company. The attention to detail and how well maintained the boat was (we had to remove our shoes before getting on…knew we were in good hands at that moment) will make this company prosper and flourish. We can not wait to be his passengers again next year while we are visiting on vacation. Truly can’t say enough about the two days we spent on the water except we wish we found it sooner! All our best and many thanks, The Audin & Francos
Nick Weth2022-02-21I used the pontoon tour this past afternoon with my wife and daughters (7 and 2 years old) for the first time and will be back again. Captain did a great job making us feel at home aboard his boat and knew the local water like the back of his hand. We saw dolphins and spent some time on a secluded island beach collecting seashells. What a great activity to break up the day!
Kristina Campbell2021-07-20ClearWake Watersports thank you so much for making our vacation complete! We had so much fun with yall! Saw dolphin interaction and the island during sunset was amazing! If anyone is in the clearwater area we highly suggest using these people! Great with the kids the whole thing was so easy to book and the kids loved every second of it well worth the money 🐬🐚🏝
