Catch Phillies Spring Training Action at BayCare Ballpark
For baseball fans, Clearwater is synonymous with Spring Training. Since 1947, the city has been the spring home of the Philadelphia Phillies, drawing thousands of fans from the Northeast and beyond every March. BayCare Ballpark (601 N Old Coachman Rd, Clearwater, FL 33765) is widely considered one of the most beautiful facilities in the Grapefruit League. The stadium features a 360-degree main concourse, grass berm seating perfect for relaxing in the sun, and the iconic Tiki Pavilion in left field. Whether you are organizing an alumni trip, a corporate outing, or a family reunion centered around America’s pastime, a charter bus rental is the best way to get to the ballpark.
Spring Training games often result in heavy traffic along US Highway 19 and Drew Street. When you book a private bus rental with Charter Bus Clearwater, your group can bypass the stress of navigating congested lots. We can drop your group off right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for batting practice or the Tiki Bar while your driver handles the parking logistics. Plus, with a private shuttle, you don't have to worry about surging rideshare prices after the ninth inning. Everyone stays together, enjoys the AC, and gets back to the hotel or out to dinner comfortably and efficiently.
Minor League Baseball Fun with the Clearwater Threshers
The baseball excitement doesn't end when the Phillies head north for the regular season. BayCare Ballpark is also home to the Clearwater Threshers, the Single-A affiliate of the Phillies. Threshers games are a staple of Clearwater summers, offering an affordable and family-friendly sporting experience. Known for their "Dollar Tuesday" promotions and spectacular post-game fireworks shows on Fridays, these games are perfect for large groups, summer camps, and youth league outings. Located at the same address as Spring Training (601 N Old Coachman Rd, Clearwater, FL 33765), the venue remains a top destination year-round.
If you are coordinating a field trip for a local summer camp or a team-bonding event for a youth baseball league, Charter Bus Clearwater is your trusted partner. We can provide a fleet of school bus rentals or modern charter buses to transport dozens of excited kids and chaperones. Our buses come equipped with PA systems so coaches can make announcements, and onboard TVs (on select models) to watch baseball movies on the way to the stadium. Forget about coordinating a caravan of parents' cars; keep the team united and energized with a single, reliable mode of transportation.
Professional Sports Just Across the Bridge in Tampa
One of the biggest advantages of staying in Clearwater is its proximity to the major professional sports hubs in Tampa and St. Petersburg. You can enjoy the beach by day and catch a pro game by night. Charter Bus Clearwater frequently transports groups across the Courtney Campbell Causeway or the Howard Frankland Bridge to see the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium (4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607). "Ray Jay" is famous for its pirate ship and intense atmosphere, making it a bucket-list destination for football fans. Traveling with a large fan club? Our 56-passenger motorcoaches have massive under-bus storage bays perfect for tents, coolers, grills, and chairs, making us the ultimate tailgating vehicle.
We also service trips to Amalie Arena (401 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602) to see the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning strike the ice, or down to St. Petersburg to watch the MLB's Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field (1 Tropicana Dr., St. Petersburg, FL 33705). Navigating downtown Tampa or St. Pete traffic before a game can be frustrating, but with a driver at the wheel, your group can relax, pre-game responsibly, and get dropped off curbside. No matter which team you root for, we ensure you arrive at the venue with plenty of time to find your seats and grab a hot dog.
Golfing Getaways in and around Clearwater
Florida is the golf capital of the world, and the Clearwater area boasts some of the most prestigious courses in the state. Just a short drive north is the renowned Innisbrook Resort (36750 US Hwy 19 N, Palm Harbor, FL 34684), home to the PGA Tour's Valspar Championship on the challenging Copperhead Course. Whether you are planning a corporate tournament, a bachelor party weekend, or a serious golf retreat with friends, transportation is key. Golf bags are bulky and heavy, and fitting four players plus clubs into a standard rental car or rideshare is nearly impossible.
Charter Bus Clearwater makes golf trips a breeze. Our minibuses and charter buses offer ample storage space specifically suited for golf clubs and luggage. We can shuttle your group from your Clearwater Beach hotel to Innisbrook, or to other local favorites like The Landings at Clearwater Airpark (3750 Creekside Loop, Clearwater, FL 33765) or the Clearwater Country Club (525 N Betty Ln, Clearwater, FL 33755). After 18 holes, your driver will be waiting to take you to a clubhouse dinner or back to your resort, ensuring everyone can enjoy a post-round drink without worrying about driving.
Water Sports and Beach Volleyball on Clearwater Beach
Clearwater isn't just for spectator sports; it's a hub for active participation, particularly when it comes to water sports and beach volleyball. Clearwater Beach (1 Causeway Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767) is world-famous for its pristine sand, which hosts numerous volleyball tournaments throughout the year. If you are a collegiate team or a club volleyball organization traveling for a tournament, keeping your players rested and cool is essential for peak performance. Our charter buses provide a climate-controlled sanctuary away from the sun, allowing athletes to rest between matches.
For groups interested in aquatic adventures, the Clearwater Municipal Marina (25 Causeway Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767) is the launching point for deep-sea fishing charters, parasailing, and jet ski rentals. Organizing a corporate retreat or a large family reunion centered on these activities requires precise timing. Charter Bus Clearwater can coordinate drop-offs right at the marina roundabout, avoiding the notorious struggle for parking on Clearwater Beach. We handle the logistics so your group can focus on catching the big one or spiking the winning point.
Hosting Your Own Tournament at Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex
Clearwater is a prime location for amateur and youth sports tournaments, many of which take place at the robust Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex (2450 Drew St, Clearwater, FL 33765). This facility features multiple baseball fields, soccer fields, and training areas. If you are a tournament director or a visiting coach bringing a team from out of state, reliability is non-negotiable. You need a transportation partner who knows the lay of the land and can stick to a tight schedule.
Charter Bus Clearwater specializes in athletic team transportation. We understand that teams have a lot of gear—from bat bags and soccer nets to coolers and medical kits. Our full-size charter buses provide the storage capacity you need so that athletes aren't cramped in their seats with equipment on their laps. Plus, with reclining seats and onboard WiFi, players can study game tape, finish homework, or simply rest their legs before the competition. We can set up a shuttle service between the sports complex and local hotels, ensuring the entire team stays together and focused on the trophy.
The University of South Florida (USF) Athletics
While located in Tampa, the University of South Florida (USF) draws a significant fan base from Clearwater. Whether you are an alumni group living in Pinellas County or a prospective student group touring the campus, catching a USF Bulls game is a thrilling experience. The Yuengling Center (12499 USF Bull Run Dr, Tampa, FL 33617) hosts basketball and volleyball, while the football team plays at Raymond James Stadium. Charter Bus Clearwater offers convenient game-day shuttles for Bulls fans.
Instead of coordinating a convoy of cars along the Courtney Campbell Causeway, rent a minibus or charter bus for your alumni chapter. You can play the USF fight song over the PA system, wear your green and gold, and enjoy the camaraderie of traveling together. For academic groups, we can combine a campus tour with a sporting event, providing a comprehensive look at university life. The drivers prioritize comfort, making us the ideal choice for student transportation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clearwater Sports Transportation
How much storage space is available for sports equipment?
Our full-size 56-passenger charter buses are designed with massive undercarriage luggage bays that can easily accommodate bulky sports equipment such as golf clubs, hockey bags, football pads, and large coolers. Inside the cabin, there are overhead bins for personal items like backpacks and duffel bags. If you are renting a minibus (typically 18-25 passengers), storage space is more limited and usually reserved for personal carry-ons. When calling to book, please specify the type and amount of equipment you are bringing so our reservation specialists can recommend the perfect vehicle size for your team.
Do you provide transportation to games in Tampa and St. Petersburg?
Absolutely! While we are based in Clearwater, our service area covers the entire Tampa Bay region and beyond. We regularly transport fans and teams to Raymond James Stadium, Amalie Arena, and Tropicana Field. Whether you need a one-way transfer, a round-trip for a specific game, or a multi-day charter for a tournament spanning several cities, Charter Bus Clearwater has you covered. We can even take you as far as Orlando, Miami, or Jacksonville for away games.
How far in advance should we book a bus for Spring Training?
Spring Training (February and March) is one of the busiest travel seasons in Clearwater due to the influx of fans and visitors. To ensure availability and secure the best pricing, we highly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your group's schedule is confirmed—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. While we always try to accommodate last-minute requests, inventory can be limited during peak baseball season. Calling early gives you the most options for your preferred bus type.
