What people said about boating in Southwest Florida

2 Thumbs up
Let Sonny know what you’d like to get out of the trip & I’m sure he’d accommodate!
- 5.0/5(2 Hr – Sunset Cruise)
Amazingly Patient, Kind and Hospitable!
Expect a need to be adaptable and willingness to change plans because of the constant threat of thunderstorms
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Destination Tour (PM))
Wonderful way to explore the area!
Highly recommend! Matlacha is a central location that gives you options of which islands and waterways to explore. It was a short drive from Ft Myers and we were able to quickly get out to clear water and great shelling. Captain Greg was able to customize our stops so we got exactly what we wanted!
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Tour)
Highly recommend
Lauren's boat excursion is great for all ages. She will adjust the trip to make sure it's exactly what you want.
- 5.0/5(3-hour sunset/island trip)
Great evening in the water!
bring a swimsuit even for an evening cruise because there is plenty of time to jump off the boat for a quick swim
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Sandbar & Dolphin Cruise)
Awesome Captain!
Doc Fords is amazing, and if you want to stay at a nice AirBNB with pool, Cape Coral has loads of them.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Island Hop & Beach Day)
Best Time - Snokeling & Fishing
You can request shelling, snorkeling, fishing, lounging, etc. Our Captain budgeted our time so that we could do it all.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Trip – Dolphin & Cruise)
Cruising in Style and Comfort
I highly recommend this trip. And surprisingly, it was not too hot at the beginning of June. The fresh breeze on the water kept it comfortable. The Captain even offered to let us fish.
- 5.0/5(4-hour island hopping)
Shelling Trip
Im rating it “good” just because there happened to be a lot of sea weed and cloudy water while we were there. Had nothing to do with our boat experience though.
- 4.7/5(4 Hour Trip – Dolphin & Cruise)
Adorable Old-Timey Boat with Charming Crew!!
Cape Coral is right at the edge of the Gulf, but depending on the home location of the boat, it might take a few minutes to reach open water. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery and wildlife!
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Boat Tour)
Your custom boat tour!
make sure you bring an extra layer of clothing. Just because it’s warm when you’re sitting still or even hot, it doesn’t mean it’s warm when you’re going 25 mph on a boat. Also don’t forget, sunscreen, water, sunglasses, and a good playlist for music. Also cash for a tip.
