A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Catch Spring Training at CoolToday Park
For baseball fans, Venice is synonymous with Spring Training excitement. CoolToday Park (18800 S West Villages Pkwy, Venice, FL 34293) is the Spring Training home of the Atlanta Braves and a state-of-the-art facility that draws thousands of visitors from February through March. The stadium is a gem of the Grapefruit League, featuring a tiki bar, superior sightlines, and a festive atmosphere. However, as any local will tell you, traffic along West Villages Parkway and US-41 during a game day can be intense. Parking lots fill up rapidly, and coordinating a caravan of ten different cars for a group outing often results in late arrivals and separated parties.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Venice, you skip the parking headache entirely. Your driver can drop your group off right near the entrance, allowing you to head straight for the Tomahawk Tiki Bar or your seats without circling for a spot. Our buses have ample undercarriage storage, meaning you can bring your tailgating gear, folding chairs, and banners without cramping your legroom. After the ninth inning, you won’t have to fight the exodus of cars; your driver will be waiting to whisk you away to a celebratory dinner at Sharky's on the Pier or back to your hotel. Whether you are a local senior group from Venice Isle or a visiting fan club from Atlanta, a private shuttle is the MVP of Spring Training.
Friday Night Lights with the Venice High Indians
In this town, high school football is more than just a game; it's a community event. The Venice High School Indians (1 Indian Ave, Venice, FL 34285) are a perennial powerhouse in Florida high school football, often contending for state championships. Powell-Davis Stadium comes alive on Friday nights, filled with students, alumni, and residents wearing green and white. If you are organizing a trip for a visiting team, a marching band, or a large group of alumni returning for a big homecoming matchup, a charter bus rental is essential. We provide safe, DOT-certified transportation for student-athletes, ensuring they arrive rested, focused, and ready to play.
For booster clubs and parents, a minibus rental offers a fantastic way to travel to away games across the state. Instead of putting miles on your personal vehicles and navigating unfamiliar towns, parents can ride together, socialize, and build camaraderie before kickoff. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with PA systems for coaches to give pre-game pep talks, as well as onboard TVs where players can review game footage or relax with a movie. We understand the tight schedules of school athletics and prioritize punctuality and safety above all else.
Equestrian Excellence at Fox Lea Farm
Venice isn't just about ball sports; it is also a premier destination for equestrian events. Fox Lea Farm (800 North Auburn Road, Venice, FL 34292) is a nationally recognized horse show facility that hosts various competitions throughout the year, including hunter/jumper series, quarter horse shows, and appaloosa shows. These events draw competitors and spectators from all over the country. If you are a riding club, a 4-H group, or simply a group of equine enthusiasts attending a major show, Charter Bus Rental Company Venice offers the spacious transportation you need.
While we don't transport the horses (we'll leave that to the specialized trailers!), we are experts at moving the riders, trainers, and spectators. A charter bus rental provides a cool, air-conditioned retreat from the Florida heat in between events. With plenty of overhead storage for personal items and under-bus bays for larger gear, your group can travel clutter-free. Navigating the rural roads around Auburn Road with a large group is made simple with a driver who knows the area. Plan a day at the farm followed by a relaxing evening in Historic Downtown Venice without worrying about the drive home.
Golfing Getaways on the Gulf Coast
You can't talk about sports in Florida without mentioning golf. Venice is home to some beautiful courses that challenge players of all skill levels. Whether you are planning a corporate tournament, a bachelor party, or a retiree golf outing, getting your foursomes to the tee box on time is crucial. Courses like Capri Isles Golf Club (849 Capri Isles Blvd, Venice, FL 34292) and Waterford Golf Club (1454 Gleneagles Dr, Venice, FL 34292) offer lush fairways and challenging greens. Coordinating tee times for a large group is hard enough; let us handle the transportation.
A 25-passenger minibus is often the perfect solution for golf groups. It offers enough space for everyone to ride comfortably, with dedicated storage for golf clubs in the rear or underneath the bus. No need to try and jam multiple golf bags into the trunk of a rental sedan or rideshare. After you've played 18 holes, your private shuttle can take you straight to a clubhouse lunch or a seafood dinner at Crow's Nest. We can even arrange multi-day transportation packages if you plan to play a circuit of courses from Venice down to Englewood or up to Sarasota.
Water Sports and Fishing Tournaments
Venice is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico, making water sports a huge part of the local lifestyle. The Venice Fishing Pier (1600 Harbor Dr S, Venice, FL 34285) and the surrounding waters host various fishing tournaments throughout the year. If you are organizing a corporate fishing charter or a group entry into a tournament, Charter Bus Rental Company Venice can get your group to the marina safely and efficiently. We service the Crow’s Nest Marina and the Venice Marine Park, ensuring your anglers arrive with their coolers and gear ready to go.
Beyond fishing, Venice is a hub for rowing and aquatic competitions. If your rowing team is competing at a regatta at nearby Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota or utilizing the Intracoastal Waterway, we provide reliable team transport. Our buses have the capacity to haul team duffel bags and personal gear, while the climate-controlled cabin keeps athletes cool before they hit the water. We understand that water sports often mean early mornings; the drivers are punctual and ready to roll whenever your schedule demands.
Road Trips to Tampa Bay Pro Sports
One of the benefits of staying in Venice is its proximity to the major professional sports hubs in Tampa Bay. While Venice offers a relaxed atmosphere, big-league action is just an hour north via I-75. Charter Bus Rental Company Venice frequently transports fan groups to see the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium (4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607), the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena (401 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602), and the MLB’s Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field (1 Tropicana Dr., St. Petersburg, FL 33705).
The drive from Venice to Tampa can be fraught with traffic, especially on game days. By renting a charter bus, you transform a stressful commute into a pre-game party. Fans can wear their jerseys, play trivia, and enjoy the company of friends while a driver navigates the highway. You avoid the high cost of parking multiple vehicles at the stadium and the hassle of finding your friends in the crowd. Plus, having a designated driver means your group can responsibly enjoy a beer or two at the game. We offer round-trip service that brings you back to your Venice doorstep immediately after the final whistle.
Youth Sports and Travel Tournaments
Venice and the surrounding Sarasota County are hotbeds for youth sports tournaments, from soccer and baseball to lacrosse. Facilities like Wellfield Park (1400 Lucaya Ave, Venice, FL 34285) often host regional competitions that bring in teams from across the state. If you are a coach or team manager, you know that keeping a group of teenagers organized is a challenge. A charter bus rental keeps the whole team together, preventing players from getting lost or arriving late due to parents getting stuck in traffic.
Our buses are designed for comfort and durability. Reclining seats allow young athletes to rest between doubleheaders, and onboard WiFi (available upon request) keeps them entertained on the road. We can create a custom itinerary that shuttles your team from their hotel to the fields, then to a team dinner at a local pizza spot, and back again. For multi-day tournaments, you can keep the same bus and driver for the duration of your trip, providing a consistent and secure home base for the team’s belongings.

How far in advance should we book our bus for Spring Training?
Spring Training is one of the busiest travel seasons in Venice and the Sarasota area. We recommend booking your charter bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you plan to attend a game on a weekend or when a popular team (like the Red Sox or Yankees) is visiting CoolToday Park. Booking early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive pricing. However, we always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible.

Absolutely! While we are experts in Venice and Sarasota County, Charter Bus Rental Company Venice is a statewide service provider. We frequently take groups from Venice to Tampa for Bucs or Lightning games, or across the state to Miami for Dolphins or Heat games. The drivers are familiar with long-distance travel and highway driving. Your quote will include the time and mileage for the round trip, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
What amenities are included on your sports charter buses?
Our standard charter buses and minibuses come with comfortable, reclining seats and climate control—essential for Florida weather!
