TripAdvisor Special Sail. SEE OUR WEBSITE for other options and availability. Since 2009, we offer the cleanest, safest, and best maintained sailing vessel. Multiple daily sails that include a quarter day and sunset sail aboard a real sailboat.
Owned/operated by husband and wife, we immediately reduce the "Creepy Captain and Crew" factor making for a relaxed and comfortable experience for all guests. Our vessel looks like new due to rigorous daily maintenance. You'll feel a sense of pride sailing aboard our vessel as we depart Salty Sam's Marina heading for the Gulf of Mexico. We will pass the shrimp boat fleet and beautiful homes on the way to the Gulf. Once out of the marked channel, we raise our sails and shut the motor off. Wildlife such as dolphins, sea turtles, and various birds can appear at anytime. If the wind allows, we will sail towards the Sanibel lighthouse or along the shores of Fort Myers Beach. Book 6 seats for a private tour. Welcome aboard!

5.00What an amazing and well-run sail. My husband had never been on a sailboat before and he was not disappointed! Our weather was less than perfect, but that was soon forgotten about once the jib and main sail went up and we took off. Tons of dolphins, tid bits about sailing, jokes and a lot of laughs. Dan and Dianne run a top-notch operation. I highly recommend sailing aboard "Orion's Child"!!
The BEST!

5.00How much do we recommend sailing with Magic Wind Adventure Sailing? 150% - it is such a wonderful trip with Capt. Dan and Capt. Diane (great team) and anyone else that joins us on the sail. This is our third trip and we are already planning a fourth. The sailing is outstanding and the boat is pristine. Sailing on the Atlantic ocean, having dolphins join us as well as huge sea turtles is a delight. Seating is comfortable, music so appropriately fits sailing the sea, and learning more about the area is a total bonus. My husband and I love the outstanding experience we have every time and Capt.Dan and Capt. Diane make it magical. When you come to Ft.Myers - this is a definite relaxation and great company. Don’t miss out on a very memorable experience.
Go sailing!

5.00What an amazing sailing experience with Capt Dan and his lovely wife. Weather and wind were perfect. They give u great background ond history of what u were seeing on shoreline. Ex. Sanibel. Lighthouse....limited to 6 people so never crowded we were lucky only 3. We ubered there cause there was a gigantic ohio state party all over the marina. You definitely need reservations for the sailboat experience. So relaxing and this couple takes you for a lovely ride. Highly recommend this experience. Captain and Kate are outstanding and very friendly can't wait to return next year....book it. You will have no regrets
