Sunset Cruises in Sanibel: A Perfect End to the Day

Experience paradise at its best with a sunset cruise in Sanibel. Drift through scenic canals, out to the Pine Island Sound or, conditions permitting, out around the Lighthouse into the Gulf. You’ll watch the sky explode with vibrant colors of orange, red and yellow or peaceful mauves and violets. Mother Nature will decide the palette for you and your group to enjoy.

What to expect:

• Relaxed, private cruises tailored to your group

• Bring your own drinks and favorite snacks

• Ideal for special occasions or just soaking up island life

Wildlife and Photo Opportunities Abound

As we navigate the canals and coastal waters, you’ll also have the chance to spot local wildlife. Dolphins often make an appearance, playfully swimming near the boat or leaping through the wake. Manatees, affectionately known as sea cows, are frequent guests in the calmer canal waters, especially during warmer months.

You’ll also see a variety of coastal birds including:

• Great Blue Herons and Snowy Egrets in the mangroves

• Ospreys soaring overhead with freshly caught fish

• Pelicans dive-bombing for their dinner

• Roseate Spoonbills with their striking pink feathers

• And if you’re lucky, a Bald Eagle or two!

Bring your camera or smartphone — the golden hour lighting during our Sanibel sunset cruises is a photographer’s dream.
