Cayo Costa Cruise

Sunset Cruises are a magnificent way to celebrate the end of another day in paradise. These cruises are available from Bokeelia. All waters serve as habitats for dolphins and manatees, making sightings plentiful. The disappearance of the sun beyond the Gulf of Mexico is spectacular! We depart 1 hour before sunset.

Take a spectacular cruise for lunch or dinner to Cabbage Key - where Jimmy Buffet either did or did not write his biggest hit "Cheeseburger in Paradise"! This tour runs from Bokeelia.

You could drive the enormous loop - it's almost 3 hours round trip from Cape Coral! Fight the traffic, curse the tailgaters, search for parking. OR you could book our beautiful, hassle-free cruise to the village of Boca Grande from Matlacha.

Boca Grande was, at one time, a small fishing village; then, a bustling port with a scenic lighthouse. Now, it's a historic village with one of Florida's most fabulous beaches. There is a wide variety of dining options and small shops to explore and the island is full of fascinating history! Make sure to visit the historic lighthouse! Time on Island: 3 hours.
