Cruise #1: Out Island Day Cruise to Cabbage Key, departs 9:00 am. Begin your trip with a 2-1/2 hour narrated cruise on the Charlotte Harbor aquatic preserve from the mouth of the Peace River down the length of the harbor, onto the Intracoastal Waterway and among the islands of Pine Island Sound. Warning: Charlotte Harbor is home to many, many playful dolphins who love to swim with the boat on all our cruises. This will increase your heart rate and deplete your film supply! Our destination for lunch: ![]() Relax for lunch at the historic inn (former home of mystery writer Mary Roberts Reinhart), visit the gift shop for yes, another t-shirt, snap a few more photos and join us back aboard for the return trip, arriving approximately 4:30pm. Cost: $25.95 adults, half price for kids 3-11, free under 3. (plus sales tax) The cost of lunch is not included. Cruise #2: Out Island Day Cruise to Cayo Costa State Park, departs 9:00 am. Begin your trip with a two hour narrated cruise (similar to that on the Cabbage Key Cruise above) and then hit the beach! Cayo Costa State Park lies on an eight mile long barrier island with a pristine beach. The park service maintains a picnic area with shelter houses, restrooms and outdoor showers adjacent to the beach but there is little other development on the island and no stores, hotels or condominiums anywhere in sight. If you enjoy sun, sand, shells and the sea this is the trip for you. Pack your picnic cooler, bring the camera and sun block and enjoy three hours on the island on your own. Return to the real world with us on a dolphin-filled cruise home, arriving back in port approximately 4:30 pm. Cost: $25.95 adults, half price for kids 3-11, free under 3.

After lunch join us aboard once again for the return trip, arriving back at our home port approximately 3:00 pm. Cost: $21.95 adults, half price for kids 3-11, free under 3.

The banks are lined with overhanging trees, native grasses and other vegetation, and alligators please the photographers. We also see many species of birds often including bald eagles, ospreys, endangered wood storks, egrets, herons and others. Cameras and binoculars are definitely in order on this trip.
