Relax and Explore on a Pure Florida Sightseeing Cruise
If you’re looking for a relaxing way to take in the beauty of Naples, Florida—without getting your feet sandy—hop aboard a Pure Florida sightseeing or sunset cruise. With calm waters, dolphin sightings, and unbeatable Gulf views, these boat tours are a fun and scenic way to experience the best of Southwest Florida.
Whether you’re visiting for the week or just want to unwind after a busy beach day, a cruise with Pure Florida is a picture-perfect way to explore Naples from the water.
See Naples from a New Perspective
Pure Florida’s sightseeing cruises offer a front-row seat to the elegant, laid-back charm that makes Naples such a special place. Tours depart daily from the historic Tin City waterfront, where you’ll step aboard the M/V Double Sunshine—an open-air, double-decker boat that gives you panoramic views in every direction.
As you glide along the Gordon River and Naples Bay, you’ll pass waterfront mansions, lush mangroves, and some of the city’s most scenic sights. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife like dolphins, pelicans, and even manatees. The onboard captain and crew provide lively narration along the way, sharing fun facts and local history that bring the scenery to life.
Interested in all that but want a little bit more? Look no further than the Dolphin Watch, Eco Shelling Tours where you’ll cruise past mansions and mangroves on your way to beautiful Keewaydin Island. This gorgeous white sand beach island is only accessible by boat! You’ll receive a shelling bag to search for treasures in the calm surf. The tour lasts three hours and is the perfect combination of sightseeing, nature searching, and beach activity.
End the Day with a Gulf Coast Sunset
There’s nothing quite like a Naples, Florida sunset, and Pure Florida knows how to make it unforgettable. Their sunset cruises are ideal for date night, a family outing, or just a peaceful solo escape.
As the sun sinks below the horizon, you’ll cruise through calm coastal waters while the sky shifts from blue to gold, pink, and lavender. The atmosphere is casual and festive, with plenty of great photo ops, fresh sea air, and good vibes all around.
Beer, wine, and soft drinks are available for purchase onboard, so feel free to kick back with a drink in hand and enjoy the view.
A Cruise for All Ages
The M/V Double Sunshine is safe and comfortable for all ages, with shaded seating on the lower deck and open-air views on top. The crew is friendly, professional, and always happy to answer questions or help spot wildlife along the way.
It’s an easy, low-effort outing—no gear or special clothes needed. Just bring your sunglasses, a camera, and a sense of adventure.
Celebrate with a Special Event Cruise
Looking for something a little more unique? Pure Florida also offers special event cruises throughout the year—think Fourth of July fireworks, holiday lights tours, and romantic Valentine’s Day sailings. My personal favorite is the Bark on the Ark dog cruise, which departs monthly on the second Saturday. You and your pup will enjoy a cruise to Keewaydin Island where they can run in the sand and splash in the calm waters. Each dog receives a shelling bag with waste bags, water, healthy treats, and a tennis ball. These themed cruises add a festive twist to the classic experience and are a fun way to celebrate special occasions on the water.
Be sure to check their website for the latest event schedule and for free cruise days.
