Set sail with Nautical Tiki Cruises for 90-minute private charters on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Discover dolphin sightings, local insights, and unforgettable sunsets in Fort Myers Beach.
Fort Myers Beach, stretching along Florida’s southwestern Gulf Coast, offers an intimate gateway to sun-drenched shores and tranquil waters. Amid this vibrant coastal town, Nautical Tiki Cruises invites visitors aboard for tailored experiences that reveal the area's unique marine charm. Known for their private charters and themed cruises, Nautical Tiki navigates the winding waterways and open Gulf with a fleet designed for groups ranging from intimate couples to medium-sized parties.
Their 90 Minute Sunset Cruises are a signature offering — sailing past mangroves, open bays, and estuaries as the sun dips low, casting golden hues across the water. These cruises combine relaxed atmosphere with local knowledge; captains like Carlee and Tim bring aboard more than just expert seamanship, sharing stories about local flora, fauna, and the coastal ecosystem.
During daytime charters, the boat’s route shifts focus to spotting dolphins, sea birds, and the distinctive blue-green waters that define this part of Florida. These day trips offer flexibility for private events, from celebratory gatherings to laid-back afternoons of swimming and sun. Ice, cups, and provisions for drinks are thoughtfully included, encouraging guests to settle in and unwind.
What sets Nautical Tiki Cruises apart is their personable service and versatility. Captains engage guests with a mix of fun facts and warm hospitality, creating a welcoming environment that matches the relaxed vibe of Fort Myers Beach itself. The variety of cruises accommodates different schedules and group sizes without sacrificing the intimacy of a custom boat experience.
For visitors looking to make memories on the water, whether catching the colors of sunset or enjoying a day afloat amid dolphins and mangroves, Nautical Tiki Cruises offers a memorable, approachable way to connect with this coastal corner of Florida’s outdoors.
