Escape Aboard Carolina Daze: Private Yacht Charters from Fort Myers Beach

On the water off Fort Myers Beach, Florida, Private Yacht Charters offers a customizable day on the Gulf aboard the Carolina Daze. Meet at 17863 San Carlos Blvd Ft. Myers Bch, FL 33931, step aboard a Sea Ray 52' motor yacht, and let Captain Ron - owner and operator with a U.S. Coast Guard 100 Ton Master Captains license and over 50 years of boating experience - shape a private cruise from three to nine hours. Guests as young as seven can join on voyages tailored for relaxation, wildlife-watching, or special events. Carolina Daze is built for comfort and stability: at 44,000 pounds and 16 feet wide she tracks smoothly across Florida's shallow shelf. The modern bridge is the best seat for navigation and conversation, aft seating watches the coastline slide by, and a broad bow offers an expansive sunning platform. The yacht is equipped for a day afloat with air-conditioning, hot water, coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, and stovetop - everything you need for an indulgent afternoon on the water. What makes this charter stand out is its flexibility and the region's marine scene. Southwest Florida's coastline features low-lying barrier islands, mangrove shorelines, and wide seascapes where bottlenose dolphins commonly work the bow wake. Shelling beaches and quiet anchorages are only minutes away when the tide and weather cooperate, and the captain will point out local geography and wildlife while keeping safety and comfort front and center. Carolina Daze's stability and onboard amenities make it a strong choice for families, photographers, and anyone who wants the privacy of a private yacht rather than a crowded tour boat. Practical details matter: arrive 15 minutes early for a required safety briefing, and plan for three to nine hours depending on your chosen itinerary. Spray-type sunscreens are not allowed; bring lotion sticks or mineral formulas instead. Captain Ron encourages guests to request what they want - celebrations, sunset cruises, or long lazy days cruising the estuaries - and he'll customize the run to meet those needs. If you're staying in Fort Myers Beach, this charter puts the Gulf's soft light and frequent dolphin pods within reach without the work of skippering. Private Yacht Charters is a local operation that pairs a seasoned captain, a comfortable Sea Ray, and an improvise-to-please attitude into a smooth, private maritime escape. Plan to bring towels, a hat, polarized sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen alternatives, and a dry bag for electronics; Carolina Daze has refrigeration for coolers and basic galley facilities but catering or specialty requests should be arranged in advance through the booking link. Private Yacht Charters accommodates celebrations, proposals, sunset runs, and family days with flexible timing between 3–9 hours; bookings are made through the operator's FareHarbor page online securely.
