For over 25 years, Captiva Cruises has been offering tours through Southwest Florida’s estuary and National Wildlife Refuge that is Pine Island Sound. This aquatic preserve is home to abundant wildlife and rich with history. Crew aboard Captiva Cruises’ vessels share their in-depth knowledge and passion for the area while passengers marvel at the wildlife.
Every afternoon, Captiva Cruises offers a 90 minute Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure Cruise narrated by volunteers from the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation. There is nothing more exciting than seeing these beautiful marine mammals jumping and playing in the vessel’s wake. A true family favorite, dolphins are spotted about 95% of the time.
In additional to out-island destination tours to Cabbage Key, Useppa, Boca Grande and Cayo Costa State Park, Captiva Cruises offers an array of onboard tours. What better way to see a magnificent Gulf of Mexico sunset than from the water! Captiva Cruises has three different types of Sunset Cruises including musical, sailing or wildlife. After the sun sets, Captiva Cruises offers a Night Sky Astronomy cruise including a tour of planets, stars, constellations and mythology. Eco Tours include Science at Sea where you can haul crab traps and take part in actual scientific research that will be used by the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation. A Shoreline Discovery Cruise travels to secluded beaches for a guided walk to explore mudflats and use nets for an up close look at some of the amazing inhabitants of the Back Bay estuary ecosystem.
Captiva Cruises offers Private Expedition, where passengers can customize their cruise experience. Fishing, shelling, island hopping, lunch, cocktail, and dinner cruises can all be arranged for 2-148 passengers.
