We went on two of their cruises, the first was the wildlife cruise, and having had such a positive experience there, we signed up for the sunset sailboat cruise. The wildlife cruise was terrific! We chose it because it has a docent from the Conservation Society. We saw a number of dolphins, swimming along right next to the boat. The... More

It was a nice, informative tour. We were lucky and saw dolphins a couple different times and the crew did a good job of helping them put on a show for us. I strongly suggest going to the first floor of the boat, in the back when watching the dolphins. They got so close we could almost touch them. Thanks... More

So this is the second time I tried this company out in 2 years. Let me first say, the vessel was lovely and clean, the boat ride was fun and the dude doing the introductions, etc was very informative, helpful and friendly. But this is a shelling cruise review, right? So we get dropped off, wave to the thousand kids... More

We recently went on a sailboat cruise to North Captiva and enjoyed getting out on the water immensely. Since the sailing portion was relatively brief, we plan to take a more leisurely sail during our next visit to the island. The captain shared his knowledge of the surrounding area and we enjoyed learning about the history of the area and... More

Ok. The boat ride was nice. The staff was awesome. The seclusion was nice. If you're looking for shells,, stay on Sanibel. Shell hell because Cayo Costa is where the shell fragments, shell pieces, and itsy bitsy shells go at the end of their lives...Don't spend the benjamin to get the two of you there. More

Took another great trip on Captiva Cruises yesterday...this time to Boca Grande. Leaving from McCarthy's Marina was easy...the narrator, Rich, was terrific again. This guy is very knowledgeable and just as importantly, really understands hospitality. Most enjoyable. More

We went on the sunset cruise. We saw a few dolphins, but could not get close enough to really enjoy seeing them. Our crew was entertaining and knowledgeable and the sunset was beautiful! I think that one of the other trips may have had more to offer in terms of scenery, but I really enjoyed our boat ride. I'm not... More

Went for a 3 hour am shelling tour and it was the nightlife of our stay while in sanibel. Boat tour informative but the shelling time spent in the state park was wonderful! Found some beautiful shells ,saw dolphins and turtles. Had lunch after returning from the boat tour at the Bubble Room Restaurant. Enjoyed this fun and food! More

Family and friends took the Santiva over to Boca Grande a few weeks ago. It was a fantastic trip. We saw Dolphins, Manatees and beautiful birds. The crew was friendly and accomodating. Boca Grande is absolutely beautiful with lots of cute stores and good restaurants. Did not even have time to go to the Gasparilla Inn, so will be going... More
