An Afternoon into Golden Hour
Start with a relaxed coastal cruise and finish with sunset over the Gulf. Three hours gives your group more time to spot wildlife, enjoy your drinks and music, and celebrate together without rushing the evening.
Custom Private Tiki Cruise
A beach day, a Dog Beach adventure with your pup, or a sandbar afternoon with floating loungers—let’s build your private boat day around you. Look for dolphins and coastal birds, cruise past waterfront homes around Conners/Vanderbilt Beach or Bonita Springs and Barefoot Beach, or ask about a waterfront restaurant stop.
Stops depend on weather, tides, dock access, and cruise length. Ask us about floaties and floating loungers when planning.
