Dolphin 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. Tour Shell Pass, Jug Creek, Back Bay, and Pine Island Sound. Enjoy a beautiful boat ride and nature cruise, plus One and a half hours on the Island.

**Similar Lunch/Dinner Cruise is now available at The Tarpon Lodge. Call for details.**

THE BOAT CRUISES for all our friends staying at the Gasparilla Inn -and others close by- originate from the Pink Elephant Docks, across the street from the Pink Elephant Restaurant (491 Bayou Street). The Docks are about one block east of the Inn.

There are several pedestrian entrances- use the one closest to the fairway on the golf course. There are 8 docks there.

Captain Will will send you a text when he arrives to let you know where to find the boat.

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.

These cruises depart from Bokeelia, Jug Creek Marina.
