Cape Coral
After boarding our vessel we will casually cruise along mansions and mangroves until we reach the gate to the ocean, Cape Harbour, we then embark towards Sanibel Island and have our first stop in the San Carlos bay. Here you can relax, enjoy your drinks or snacks and watch the dolphins being curious and playful.
Sanibel Island
All refreshed, we will cruise over to the Sanibel Island Lighthouse and into the Gulf of Mexico after passing through the COLRegs, the imaginary line where international boating regulations apply. Take a pictures of our lighthouse as it still stands after Hurricane Ian. We will head back to home port from here and exchange the many pictures we have taken and memories made aboard our modern vessels.

My family and I went on a sunset dolphin tour with Martin and his first mate Renee, and as my 8 year old son put it, it was an unforgettable experience. We saw many different types of wildlife, which was topped off by a friendly pod of dolphins that visited our boat, and it was an amazing part of our vacation. Martin and Renee both have excellent tips about Cape Coral, and were great with our son throughout the tour. We would recommend them to any other families looking for a tour in the area!

We were on our way a week after Hurricane Mikton. There's hardly any damage here. We spent hours watching dolphins. It was great!!!! René and Martin are great hosts,very nice and have many tips ready and much to tell. The boat is great. Perfect for a small group. You drive past the millinaire's villas. There's a lot to see.

If you want to take a boat trip along the canals in Cape Coral or look for dolphins, I really recommend Captain Martin and Rene. Super nice people who tell you a lot about the various places we drive past. They are also funny, so there were both laughs and smiles on the trip. If we go back to Cape Coral, we will come back for another trip. If you guys are taking the trip to Norway, get in touch and we can show you around. Greetings from the Norwaycrew 🇳🇴

Absolutely wonderful tour! Martin did a fantastic job of showing us beautiful canal homes on the way to spectacular ocean views. We were fortunate enough to see several dolphins as we took in the gorgeous turquoise waters off Sanibel Island. Would definitely recommend, as it was much more relaxing than renting a boat on our own. Thank you, Martin!

Martin and Renee are amazing! The boat cruise was lovely, we saw lots of dolphins! Martin made the boat cruise super fun, especially for the 2 year old we had with us! Martin and Renee gave us lots of recommendations for things to do in the area. They are extremely nice and accommodating to their guests. We brought drinks and lunch onto the boat and had a truly spectacular experience. You will not regret booking with them!

Excellent experience! Martin and Renee were fabulous hosts. They were courteous and even advised our group to change our booking date for a better experience and better likelihood of seeing dolphins up close, and we were successful. We would recommend taking this more personal tour over a large group tour, if able!

What a fantastic tour! Martin and his wife were so nice and accommodating! We went with friends and the trip was perfect for the short time we had available. Their attention to detail, knowledge of the area and fun dolphin sightings were what made the day so special! Sighting of a baby dolphin with its mother was a bonus!
