My boyfriend and I researched several chartered sailing excursions for our vacation to Sanibel with another couple before selecting Capt. Paul and the Panacea. We made the right choice. Capt. Paul and his wife Pat gave us a warm, relaxing welcome when we boarded, making us feel at home. After giving us the tour of the boat, Capt. Paul offered... More

I have sailed in other areas, with other captains, but none can compare to the personal attention, skill and thoughtfulness of this captain. This was the highlight of a dream vacation. I cant wait to return and do it all over!

Had a fabulous and entertaining 4-hour sail with Captain Paul on his smooth-riding and beautiful Panacea. Enjoyed watching the dolphins in their natural habitat and seeing Sanibel Island and other beaches from a different perspective. Captain Paul is a great host - accommodating, caring and knowledgeable about the waters and land area. Price was spot on and I can't wait... More

Loved It! First time sailing at Fort Myers Beach and what a trip it was. We left Fort Myers Beach and sailed close enough to see the lighthouse on Sanibel Island. The ocean, wind and scenery was beautiful. Thank You Captain Paul!

Pack a picnic lunch, a bottle of wine and a good camera. You are welcome to steal my ideas from my last sail, great photos. Your Capt... More

We had dinner before hand at The Parrot Key which is literally steps away from the slip where the Panacea leaves from. (The restaurant... More

As never having sailed before, I didn't know what to expect. It was the most amazing experience of our lives. Captain Paul is a skilled, cool, amazing person. He made us feel at home, safe, and we feel very fortunate that he shared his boat and knowledge with us. We would recommend Captain Paul and the Panacea to anyone, a... More
