ABOUT TOUR

3h Private Sunset Boat Tour from Cape Coral to Sanibel Island – Twilight Magic at Sanibel Lighthouse

Experience the golden hour like never before on this exclusive 3-hour private sunset tour for up to 6 people. We depart directly from our office on Del Prado Blvd in Cape Coral, where plenty of parking awaits you.

After a calm cruise through Cape Coral’s picturesque canals, we set course east along the Caloosahatchee River, gliding through some of Southwest Florida’s most peaceful waterways – including Shell Creek, the Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve, and tranquil Punta Rassa Cove.

As the sun begins its descent, we pass the iconic Miserable Mile and the southern edge of St. James City, continuing to our magical destination: the Sanibel Lighthouse, bathed in the warm glow of twilight.

This is the perfect moment to capture unforgettable photos, with the sky painted in vibrant oranges, pinks, and purples – and the water reflecting every hue.

Along the way, keep an eye out for playful dolphins, elegant seabirds, and the occasional manatee – all in their natural habitat, illuminated by the setting sun.

As daylight fades and the peaceful calm of evening sets in, you’ll feel the magic of Florida’s coastline in its most serene and romantic light.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply soaking in the beauty of nature, this tour offers a truly unforgettable sunset experience – far from the crowds, just you, the water, and the wonder of the twilight.
