Great way to spend 4 hours!

Fantastic experience, Captain Carsten was a phenomenal guide. The scenery was amazing. Best way to experience Sanibel Island, great shelling. We even spotted dolphins and manatee!

Wonderful Boat Tour! 10/10

This was an amazing tour! Carsten was so personable and kind. He was very accommodating with how we wanted to spend the 4 hours. We did a canal tour and then he took us to a quiet spot on Sanibel where the water was shallow and clear. We also saw dolphins three different times. He’s knowledgeable about the area and even gave us restaurant recommendations. Could not recommend this tour enough!

It was very relaxing! We saw some dolphins and went swimming along a quiet beach. The boat was comfortable and there was a decent amount of shade 😎. Carsten was a great captain! We had fun talking during our trip. He was very accommodating.

Highlight of our trip!

We recently visited the Cape Coral/Ft Myers area for a friend's wedding and decided to make a family vacation out of it. None of us had been to Florida, so we decided to try to squeeze in as much as we could and see as many sights as possible. We found this private guided boat tour and luckily were able to book it with just a couple of days notice. It turned out to be the highlight of our entire trip. The weather was perfect for a boat tour, and we got to see some of the amazing houses along the Cape Coral canals, pass along the Ft Myers Beach area, and spent a short time shelling and swimming at Sanibel Island. We saw manatees, dolphins, and plenty of other local wildlife. Captain Carsten was amazing. He was very personable and made us feel like we had been friends for many years. He was full of information and history of the area and made our tour feel very special. We have two boys, aged 10 and 13, and keeping them entertained can sometimes be a tall order...but they couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had on this boat tour. We can't recommend this enough, and will make it a priority to schedule another tour with Captain Carsten if we make it back to the area.

Carsten is the best!

Carsten was an amazing captain and guide for our sunset cruise. He was easy to chat with and laid back. The boat was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. He found the perfect sunset spot where we enjoyed wildlife and of course the beautiful sky. We cannot recommend Carsten enough, we would 100 percent book again and look forward to it on future trips. Thanks Carsten!

The ride wasnt too long which was great for the heat. Took us a tour through Cape Coral/ft. Myers intercostal and then we anchored at Sanibel Island to look to shells. Great day for my partner and I!
