4 HOUR PRIVATE CHARTER EXAMPLE

Embark Fish-Tale Marina into Estero bay where dolphins are plentiful and playful. Often when we are cruising the backside of Lover's Key and Bonita Beach we find families of manatees feeding on the sea grasses and relaxing (their favorite thing to do is relax). After spending as much time as you would like with the dolphins (and manatees) we will cruise to the spots that we have been finding the most shells. There we will be shelling, swimming, and relaxing for an hour or more. We usually find sand dollars, fighting conchs, lightning welks, lettered olives, alphabet cones and many more. Keep in mind that we only take dead shells and all live shells have to be released unharmed. Some of the better spots for shelling that we have found are only accessible by boat. You can bring your own swimming equipment or use a pair of our swim goggles and for finding the best shells that are under water. Also, you will love our shelling bags with belts that go around your waist for hands free shelling and swimming. We then cruise beach front along Lover's Key and Fort Myers Beach and past the fleet of old Florida style shrimping boats and the Coast Guard Station. Relax, listen to Jimmy Buffett (or any other of our over 5,000 songs on the iPod) and enjoy the cruise back through scenic Estero Bay to Fish-Male Marina. Keep in mind that 4 hours of fun totally flies by and since this is your own custom private charter, you might think about bringing along your own lunch and eating it on the boat as we cruise the islands.

8 HOUR CAYO COSTA/CABBAGE KEY CHARTER

One of our very popular charters is to Cayo Costa Costa State Park, and Cabbage Key. Especially for swimming and relaxing in the water, shelling, dolphins, and manatees). You get Captain Hatty and First Mate Terresa for the day on this charter. It is a very relaxing cruise around Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, Upper Captiva, and on to Cayo Costa. First Mate Terresa teaches you about the islands and points out many famous people's secret getaway beach homes on Sanibel and Captiva Islands. Cayo Costa is an Island that you can only get to by boat. We navigate around Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, North Captiva Island an then arrive at Cayo Costa. The water at Cayo Costa is beautiful and usually very clear. You can bring snorkels and fins and swim to your hearts content. And, since you only can get there by boat, the shelling on Cayo Costa simply can't be beat. After enjoying Cayo Costa, we cruise over to the famous Cabbage Key for a Cheeseburger in Paradise or the fresh catch of the day. This is the famous restaurant that inspired Jimmy Buffett to write the song "Cheeseburger in Paradise" Captain Hatty will attest that they do have cheeseburgers that are worthy of a song!!! Since Cabbage Key is only accessible by boat, it is very exclusive and very popular. This cruise lasts 8 hours (or longer - on this cruise, we are on "island time") and you will have cruised all the way around Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva, and Estero Island (90 miles round trip).

- $800.00



8 HOUR NAPLES CHARTER

Embark Fish-Tale Marina into the Gulf of Mexico and cruise beach front along the stunning beaches of Lover's Key, Bonita Beach, Barefoot Beach, Vanderbilt Beach, and Naples Beach. The beachfront houses on this cruise are sure impress people with the most discerning tastes. We then cruise into Gordon Pass and head up into Port Royal where there are more millionaires than anywhere in the world!!! Seeing these homes by water is the only way to really appreciate the Florida architecture and beauty. From the street, most of these estate homes have 20 foot tall privacy hedges and you just barely catch a glimpse through the gates as you drive by. But from the water, you will see them up close and personal. Some of the boat houses will put most of our homes to shame - the boat houses!!! After cruising the canals of Port Royal, we then dock up at the famous Naples City Dock. There we find the Dock Restaurant, which is famous for its view of Naples Harbor and excellent food. Some favorites are the rock shrimp nachos and the key lime grouper. After a lunch, you can settle in for the leisurely cruise back to Fort Myers Beach (90 miles round trip).

9 HOUR MARCO ISLAND CHARTER

Keep in mind this tour is similar to the Naples tour until we head south to Marco Island. Embark Fish-Tale Marina into the Gulf of Mexico and cruise beach front along the stunning beaches of Lover's Key, Bonita Beach, Barefoot Beach, Vanderbilt Beach, and Naples Beach. The beachfront houses on this cruise are sure impress people with the most discerning tastes. We then cruise into Gordon Pass and head up into Port Royal where there are more millionaires than anywhere in the world!!! Seeing these homes by water is the only way to really appreciate the Florida architecture and beauty. From the street, most of these estate homes have 20 foot tall privacy hedges and you just barely catch a glimpse through the gates as you drive by. But from the water, you will see them up close and personal. Some of the boat houses will put most Americans homes to shame - the boat houses!!! After cruising the canals of Port Royal, we then take an amazing canal cruise down to Marco Island via the Keewaydin canal. Cruise past the Keewaydin Spit, a secluded beach where locals have boated by the hundreds to celebrate the weekend for many years. Then cruise around Little Marco Island and head up the Big Marco Pass to the World Famous Snook Inn for a great seafood lunch. The Snook Inn has been a landmark restaurant in Marco for over 30 years!!! An extensive menu of seafood and steaks make this destination t-shirt worthy! After a nice lunch, settle in for the leisurely cruise back to Fort Myers Beach or climb up into the crows nest for some fun over the waves of the Gulf. (over 100 miles round trip).
