Amazing sunset cruise. The captain was very kind and the history of the lighthouse was interesting to hear.

Thank you for the 5 stars!
We booked the Sunset and Dolphin cruise. The captain took us to Sanibel Lighthouse (which another tour had this in the title) and the only mention of dolphins was to keep an eye out and you might see a fin. I have boated in this area before and I don't think he made any attempt to take us where dolphins may be. It's always nice to take a boat ride, so it wasn't a total waste of time and money...just not what we expected from the title and description.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
I'm sorry for your disappointment. I not sure what you are talking about when it comes to the Lighthouse? As far as Dolphins we are Always on the look out for them and the majority of the time we do find them. Please keep in mind they are wild animals and have hundreds of miles in our area to play. The areas we go to are places we typically find them but some days they may do something a little different. Maybe their food source had moved to a different area at that time.
The pictures and videos do not capture the beauty of nature. Spend more time enjoying the experience.

Agree! Thank you for the 5 stars!

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise! Captain Dan and his helper were great, we were able to see two groups of dolphins on our way out of the bay and the sunset was just stunning. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for the perfect review!
I've been on many Sunset and dolphin cruises but by far this one is the best! You actually did see dolphins and what an amazing Cruise to Sanibel Island to see the lighthouse very relaxing and what an amazing sunset! ☺️😎🐬
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We are flattered to hear we are the best sunset cruise you have been on!
The guys were great. Great information. Hard bench seating. High sides. So hard to see over for shorter people like me. Saw dolphins which was great. There is a bathroom but not easily accessible. Meaning it has a chain across it and you need to inform and ask to use it. Only an hour and half ride so not an issue just clarifying the bathroom situation.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the review. The reason for the height of the railing is because any USCG inspected passenger vessel is required to have a minimum height for safety.
We loved this boat tour! Our captain was fun and friendly, we got rained on quite a bit but still loved the experience. We saw dolphins and learned more about the area. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the recommendation! sorry mother nature didn't full cooperate.
It was so much fun and you also get a history lesson about Sanibel Island and the Lighthouse. We had a great time!

Beautiful sunset. Lots of dolphins. Captain Dan really made an effort to find dolphins and it was an amazing experience.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for the amazing review!
We had an amazing time on this tour. Everything ran smoothly from the moment we arrived all 13 of us felt comfortable. The boat captain and his skipper made us feel welcomed and very well accommodate with drinks for adults and kids. I was especially satisfied with all the pictures stops and pictures they took of all of us as many as we wanted. I absolutely recommend taking this tour.

Captain Dan and Captain Deacon were great! The sunset was unmatched not to mention the dolphins and wildlife that showed out. Literally teared up when the dolphins made their reveal. Very relaxing and well worth the trip!
