Additional Information

TripAdvisor’s EXCLUSIVE MONDAY SALE. Visit OUR WEBPAGE for further alternatives and availability. Commencing from 2009, we’ve been providing the most immaculate, securest, and well-kept sailing vessel. We run several daily sail missions including a quarter of a day and a dusk sail on a genuine sailing boat.
Run by a couple, we eliminate the uncomfortable ‘Spooky Captain and Crew’ scenario ensuring all passengers have a laid-back and pleasant journey. Maintained meticulously every day, our vessel’s pristine condition will make you proud as you sail from Salty Sam’s Marina towards the Gulf of Mexico. We’ll be sailing past the fleet of shrimp boats and magnificent residences en route to the Gulf. Once we’re clear of the buoyed channel, our sails take over and the engine is switched off. Wildlife like dolphins, sea turtles, and an array of birds may surprise us at any moment. Provided the wind condition is suitable, we’ll navigate towards the Sanibel lighthouse or along the coasts of Fort Myers Beach. Reserve 6 spots for a private tour.

Great sailing experience! - I took my nieces on a sail with Captain Dan and Diane and it was wonderful! They were SO great with my nieces. Their boat is pristine and even though the wind was a bit absent the day we went, we still had a lovely time. Highly, highly recommend!

Sunset sail with a great captain and first mate - This was an amazing experience. I went out with a girlfriend who travelled to visit and the boat, captain, and first mate ensured everyone aboard had the best time. Very calm and relaxing with a gentle breeze. Definitely would go again!

Sailing - Being a repeat customer, I brought 5 first-time sailors with me. Dan and Diane are always so professional and easy to get along with. The boat is always clean and ready to go. They made our sailing experience incredible and the wind and water are always beautiful.

The Joy of Sailing - Absolutely perfect. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The sailboat is beautiful and the scenery engaging. We hit the trifecta, seeing dolphins, a shark, and just before heading back in, a large sea turtle. This turned into a romantic afternoon in a perfect sea breeze.

The best sunset sail at Ft. Myers Beach - We have sailed with Dan and Diane many times over the last 15 years and the trip never disappoints. We typically do the sunset trip which is amazing and relaxing. We often see dolphins and other wildlife. We highly recommend them to all of our friends and family.

Wonderful sunset cruise! - Had an amazing night on Orion's Child! There's nothing like being on the water, and Capt. Dan and first mate Diane gave us a perfect experience. We couldn't ask for a better night - gentle wind and waves as we dangled our legs over the side as we sailed off into the sunset. Highlight of our trip to Ft. Meyers!
