    Dolphin leading the cruise!
    Kerry G.

    The cruise was extraordinary. We had dolphins escorting our boat during a good 1/3rd of the trip. The lunch at Cabbage Key was organized, delicious, and easy because the cruise sets it all up. Definitely a worthwhile experience to enjoy.

    Cabbage Key from the water tower observation deck.

    First class adventure for Sanibel/Captiva visitors! Seven of us, ages 3 to 68, sailed to Cabbage Key on Lady Chadwick. The good ship was freshly painted and running smoothly. Our Captain from Boston gave a funny and factual narrative all along the way. Best of all we landed at Cabbage Key with reserved tables and quick service. Beyond the cheeseburgers in paradise, the blackened grouper with beans and rice was excellent. Several dolphins joined our wake for the ride each way, creating a memorable experience. Treat yourself to a Captiva Cruise on Lady Chadwick! 5 Stars! *****

    First time doing this for my wife and I. We had a great time..saw dolphins, manatees and rays. And I thought the price was very reasonable

    Very nice cruise. We traveled to Boca Grande. The ship was nice. The Crew was nice. In the end, there really wasn't enough time in Boca. Needed a couple more hours. The only detractor is that they are located at the end of Sanibel - so it takes a while to get there (almost as long as the cruise itself).

    Family enjoying the ride!

    We scheduled a sunset cruise as part of the rehearsal dinner evening. It was a wonderful time so relaxing the Captains gave us some historic information which we loved! Mainly we talked and enjoyed the ride! Thank you Captain Dave for the lovely service!

    What a great day dolphin watching with Captiva Cruises! George and Carlos were fantastic guides and we were up close with dolphins in no time. We saw lots of different species of birds and even bald eagles. The boat had plenty of shade and is suitable for people of all ages. Locals were on board as well who said they like to do this as a nice afternoon on the water. This isn't our first time with Captiva Cruises and it won't be our last. Captiva is back up and running come and support these small businesses. Thanks for a wonderful day! Melissa & Craig (NYC)

    George was super friendly and offered to give us as much or as little history as we wanted on our journey.

But you're in a protected Bay not in the open ocean and they have pilings with numbers on them so you can find your way and not go into an area that's too shallow. We rented a pontoon boat it was really new looking and comfortable would love to have it myself LOL. The people of Jensen's were very helpful and explained everything that we needed to know they helped us get the boat in and out. Sweets you've never driven a boat give them a try he won't be sorry. The water was very calm today we ended up seeing a couple of PODS of dolphins ... 2 adults and a baby. Then couple hours later saw 4 more dolphins. Yay so exciting. We wanted to have lunch at the famous cabbage key. We saw a tortoise there. Got a glimpse of a manatee at the marina. We didnt get out to swim. But bring your bathing suits, towels, sunscreen, hat or visor, sunglasses and cooler with drinks. I'm so glad we went out of our comfort zone and did this. Rather have fun memories vs regret. We rented the boat for 1/2 a day .. 6 hours. They didnt count the time till we were on the boat .. not the time going over everything.

    Every time we vacation on Sanibel, we stop by Jensen's because it's the best place to see manatees!…read morePark in the parking lot, and head out to the pier to see if you can spot them... Every time we visit, we see them!

    Rented a pontoon boat 2 days in a row. First day was great and the experience was wonderful. Second…read moreday, was not as great. The boat kept stalling, when we came back in late (25 min) because the engine wasn't reaching high speed (instead was only cruising 11mph. Rpm meter was broken as well) the boat rental establishment decided to charge $75 late fee. Even though we were going to rent again tomorrow. Regardless, there are other places near South seas to rent from that will give you a non tourist fee. (Decent place but they do not expect your return business. Extra fees on all promoted prices.)
