    A full day on the water — guided cruise through Cape Coral's canals, optional lunch, and stops at Sanibel Lighthouse and Fort Myers Beach.

    5. Sunset dolphin cruise around Fort Myers Beach

    4.9· 76 reviews· 2 hours

    Two hours on a private 25-ft pontoon with shaded seating—watch for dolphins and finish with a sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.

    The sunset sail was wonderful. Enjoying it as a private gathering made it feel unique and laid-back, and being able to play our own music enhanced the experience. We encountered plenty of wildlife, and the sunset itself was stunning—truly a moment to savor. Captain Kate was fantastic. She was fun, approachable, and made the experience feel personal instead of rehearsed. Learning about her story and being able to support her after Hurricane Ian added significance to our sail. Her passion really came through during the entire trip. If you're looking for a sunset sail that feels intimate, thoughtful, and genuinely special, this is the one to choose. It was a memorable experience with my dad, and we couldn't have hoped for a better evening on the water. I highly recommend it.jenniferwX5733NL
