Captain BK Charters LLC is a Cape Coral, Florida–based charter operator specializing in private boating experiences along Southwest Florida’s waterways. The company offers three signature trips: a four-hour private Dolphin Tour with a strong year-round success rate for dolphin and manatee sightings; a Private Boat Tour aboard a 34' Intrepid that includes a sunset cruise to a private island with picnic lunch and optional tubing or snorkeling; and 2.5-hour Sunset Cruises that depart roughly 1.5 hours before dusk and can be enhanced with food and beverages.
Each charter is private and tailored to guest preferences, focusing on respectful wildlife viewing and comfortable time on the water. Captains are familiar with Cape Coral’s canals, estuaries, and barrier islands and plan routes to maximize wildlife viewing and scenic opportunities. The fleet includes a 34-foot Intrepid used for island excursions and sunset cruises, providing space for small groups seeking a mix of relaxation and adventure.
Trips operate year-round with scheduling that reflects seasonal patterns and local weather. Safety briefings, life jackets, and standard boating practices are provided for every cruise. The company emphasizes sustainable wildlife interactions, giving guests chances to observe dolphins and manatees without disturbing their natural behavior. Private charters are suitable for families, couples, and small groups seeking personalized itineraries and memorable Florida coastal experiences.
Reservations are recommended to secure preferred departure times and to tailor itineraries for special occasions. The company can arrange picnic lunches and provide snorkeling gear or tubing equipment on request when available to enhance private charters.
