    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)

    A fun way to spend a few hours cruising the bay and learning about the area. You can bring your lunch or dine at the Cabbage Key restaurant.

    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.)
