Fantastic time sailing with Capt Joel and Jordan--they were very welcoming, knowledgeable, and friendly towards our group of 4 for a 2hr sunset cruise. Clean, spacious boat, ample drinks, and good conversation. This is a top notch mom/pop business. 5/5 would recommend!

Wonderful sunset sail with Captain Joel and Dave. Very hospitable with drinks and great conversation. Able to sight several dolphins on our trip. Taught my sons sailing lingo and let them manage the rudder at times. Good music and played Moana for the young kids as their favorite. Weather was absolutely perfect. Would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing but enjoyable evening on the water.

How do you put into words the most magical night of your life? I called Copacetic Sailing with the intention of asking the most amazing woman to marry me. THEY WERE BEYOND EXCITED FOR US! I spoke with Aaron, son of the famous CPT Joel, and he assured me that he could help make the night magical, special and something to cherish forever. (He did not disappoint.) When we pulled up to the docks, we were stunned by the sheer size of the Catamaran in person. It was clean and very well kept. Joel and Aaron met us on the dock to help us climb aboard where they introduced themselves (and threw me a sly wink). We stowed our bags and shortly thereafter began sailing towards the Gulf of Mexico. During the initial voyage we introduced ourselves to the other passengers and exchanged pleasantries. After clearing the no wake zone, the motor was shut off and the sails were lowered. This gave us the all clear to sit down on the trampoline and just be present in the moment. Waves gently rolling under the boat, fresh salty air, soft (cheesy) music, and tasty drinks. The mood was set, ambiance was present, all that was left was to get up and ask this woman to be mine forever. I stood up, nodded to Aaron, and asked her to marry me. During this time, Aaron and CPT Joel made sure that the boat was perfectly positioned towards the sunset so that we could have the most incredible pictures, which they kindly took for us. After we kissed, Aaron brought out Champagne and glasses for everyone so that we could all celebrate together. To put it plainly, if you are looking for an amazing night out, great environment, and even better people, this family-run business is the way to do it. I called dozens of other places before a friend referred me to Copacetic Sailing and none of them had the personality or passion that CPT Joel and Aaron do. I look forward to spending my engagement anniversary with them again next year.

They say that there's no better review than coming back a second time. Well, we have done that, and plan to come back a third and fourth and hundredth time. There is nothing like sunset on the water. And there is really nothing like sunset on the water on the Copacetic. We booked a sunset cruise on New Year's Eve as a Christmas treat for grandparents, and it was truly a perfect and memorable evening. Captain Joel was charming and hospitable as he took us out on the Gulf. I have lived in Fort Myers my entire life, and I have never seen so many dolphins as we saw during this cruise! I teased the Captain that he must bribe the dolphins with extra treats to put on such a great show! Our 5 kids felt right at home on the Copacetic - relishing the view of the water from the trampoline nets and even getting to take turns steering the ship! Our sweet baby girl was dubbed the teeniest sailor, and the newest mascot of the Copacetic! The Copacetic crew is taking COVID-19 seriously as well - we boarded wearing our masks and once we got moving and had good airflow, those who felt comfortable doing so could remove their masks. We all benefited from breathing in the healthy sea air! We just loved every second of our sail. If you're looking for a quintessential Florida experience, look no further. You will find exactly what you're looking for on the Copacetic: a sea home away from home and a wonderful taste of the best Florida has to offer.

Our group, plus a random couple we made friends with!

We sailed with them on June 4th, 2021 with a group of 10. It was amazing! Beautiful out there and such a great captain and crew mate. We had a great time, they put on whatever songs we requested so we could karaoke, took lots of photos of us. 10/10 would recommend!

Captain Frank is a great guy with awesome sailing stories!

Awesome sail this morning with captain Frank and First Mate David!! If you're in Ft Myers, you really should take the time to do this!!

I booked my friends and I for a sunset cruise with Copacetic Sailing. We are from the area and there are lots of ways to explore and experience the water here in Southwest Florida, but this experience was special. Being under sail with nothing but the wind pushing you across the water was so peaceful and exhilarating at the same time. Watching the sunset perched over the water with a cooling breeze wafting over us was pure heaven. We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip and relaxing in such beautiful surroundings. The captain and his crew man had the logistics down from boarding, to taking photos, serving beverages, letting some of us hoist sails, steer the boat and lower sails, to making sure that the sailing part looked easy so all we did was relax, to docking and disembarking .. it was all easy and enjoyable. I can not recommend this experience enough!

What can I say besides Amazing! We went out on a full day private cruise and had the best time! There were 23 of us (all family) including 5 kids ranging from 11 to 2 years old. Captain Joel and his wife Joanne are lovely! They just started their catamaran tours in 2020 so it is a relatively new business but they are very seasoned sailors. They brought special kids lunches and provided the adults with chicken wraps &/or salmon kale salads- also made a special gluten-free meal! We loved it so much we were able to book another half day adventure the same week. The only critique I'd say is they will book up fast as they have high demand (they are not many private chartered boats with such amenities) so if you are considering this adventure- don't wait! Book it!

Family time.

What a great day! The Copacetic team was extremely friendly and accommodating of our party of 9 including the less than 1 year old. The ride was wonderful. The team was knowledgeable.

Wow! What an amazing experience! I booked a private charter for a bachelorette party and it did not disappoint! Captan Joel and David took the best care of us. As soon as we arrived to the boat we were well taken care of. The boat was beautiful and big and we had so much space! Also, there was a bathroom on the boat!!! They had a lovely lunch for us on board! Hummus, publix chicken, cheese, it was perfect! They have plenty of drinks to choose from at such a great price! If we needed anything they were so quick to come do whatever we needed. Service was 10/10 views were 10/10! We went to Sanibel island for a bit but being on the boat was by far the best part! Bravo guys can't wait to come back!

See all

Great time. Saw lots of dolphins but no manatees. Sunset was not what we hoped but that is luck of the draw. Good people!

No one want anyone to fall over board. The tour conduits if 90 minutes in length. My cousin and her hubby were visiting us and wanted to something different and fun. It was different and fun! We enjoyed watching all of the native birds. Iguanas sunning themselves under the warm rays of the sun. Such a fantastic experience. Overall everyone had a great time and it was very affordable. Make sure to check this fun touristy attraction. Locals as well as visitors alike will enjoy this fun motorized tiki tour bar.
