Southwest Florida Cruise Itinerary
Come experience a private Southwest Florida yacht charter with us, exploring Florida from the gulf side! See below for a sample itinerary.
Day 1
Fort Myers to Cayo Costa
With nine miles of beautiful beaches and acres of pine forests, oak-palm hammocks and mangrove swamps, this barrier island park is a Gulf Coast paradise. Cayo Costa is accessible only by private boat or ferry. Visitors may see manatees and pods of dolphins in the waters around the 2,426 acre park, as well as a spectacular assortment of birds. Enjoy the day with swimming, fishing, jet skiing, and shelling. Then stay overnight at the Boca Grande Marina, which is near many great shops, restaurants and areas of interest on the island.
Day 2
Explore Boca Grande
Visit Boca Grande beaches by golf cart. Then enjoy lunch at Temptations, the freshest seafood in town with an old Florida atmosphere that can’t be beat! End the day with dinner at the Pink Elephant, Boca Grande’s premier eating and drinking establishment.
Day 3
Cruise to North Captiva and Cabbage Key
Remote and undiscovered, North Captiva Island is accessible only by ferry, private boat or small plane. This private island community is reminiscent of old Florida as it once was during a simpler time. Just 3 miles offshore, this tropical paradise is part of the Lee Island Coast barrier island chain in South West Florida. Anchor and experience the island with a day of swimming, fishing, jet skiing, and shelling. Then dock at Cabbage Key for dining and entertainment at the Old House, an “Open-Air” restaurant.
Day 4
Dock at Tween Waters on Captiva Island
Cruise to Tween Waters Inn on Captiva Island. Deep sea fishing or near shore fishing, beach shelling, breathtaking sightseeing, kayak eco-adventures among mangrove keys and more!
Day 5
Dock at South Seas Resort on Sanibel Island
Cruise to Sanibel Island and dock at South Seas Resort, a resort village and wildlife sanctuary with boundless opportunity for both adventure and relaxation. Enjoy a meal at the the world famous Bubble Room Restaurant.
Day 6
Dock on Fort Myers Beach
Dock on Fort Myers Beach, a wide, gradually sloping beach with the area’s justifiably famed sugar-sand. Enjoy a day of jet skiing and dolphin excursions.
Day 7
Cruise the Caloosahatche River
River Cruise along the Caloosahatchee River to Marine Max Fort Myers. The Caloosahatchee River and its meandering tributaries represent the newest leg of the Great Calusa Blueway. This is the segment where blue turns green – as in lush, towering leather ferns, stately oaks dripping with moss and verdant vegetation along every shore. End your Southwest Florida Cruise with a meal at Deep Lagoon Seafood.
