Our family's favorite thing to do in Fort Myers Beach

Our family stumbled onto Sunsetride.com while trying to find something extra special for our three young daughters to enjoy during our stay in Fort Myers Beach. From the moment we contacted Captain Mark, we really felt at ease from setting up the date and time of our trip until we said goodbye during our wonderful day on the water.

We had already been frequent vacationers of Fort Myers Beach in the past, but his knowledge along with First Mate Terresa was so welcome because of the many places to visit and eat in the area. Suggestions of "local favorites" are always welcome ideas for us.

However, their biggest asset is their ability to bring joy to families like mine with their knowledge of the waters in the area, attracting dolphins and manatees, and shelling in what seemed like a mile from the actual coast on a spacious sand bar. Those were probably the three main points we enjoyed the most, but Captain Mark and First Mate Terresa's attention to detail are what make a good trip, GREAT. They taught our children so much about the different shells they were finding on the sand bar. Also, they brought snacks and drinks on board for us to enjoy in case we needed them (and we did). Personally, my favorite extra was the fantastic music playing in the background. It really felt like a party.

We have another trip lined up during our next visit and our children are so excited. I'm sure it will be the highlight of our stay in Fort Myers Beach once again. It's always nice to have one of those "can't lose" days lined up!

From Canada We went on the Sunset boat ride with Theresa and CaptainJay. It was wonderful. We experienced an amazing show with the dolphins. Theresa and Captain Jay were very hospitable. We would recommend this trip to everyone.

To those of you who are heading down to Ft Myers Beach, Fl you absolutely do not want to miss out on this unbelievable adventure. For the second time, my family had the pleasure of taking a sunset ride tour. Only this time we had the opportunity to take some more of our extended family members with us to share the experience. Once again, it was amazing. There is just no other way to explain their tours. The family members we brought along with us said this was the most fun they had ever had in their life. They had been in Florida for a month long vacation, doing all sorts of things and said this by far was the highlight of their vacation. We played with the dolphins, saw the famous "scarlet Ibis" as well as many other wonderful things. This tour is just unreal...you just can't begin to imagine the experience of this until you do it. I know we will go back to Ft Myers Beach over and over again, just to be able to take a sunset ride tour again and again...

We took this excursion on my birthday and it was a BLAST! We had kids and adults of all ages and everyone LOVED it! I would highly recommend this trip for everyone, and I plan on going again! Captain Jay, Theresa, and Mark were so nice and taught us tons about the area. Thanks again for an INCREDIBLE adventure that has made memories that will last a lifetime!

We found Sunset Ride on TripAdvisor listed as the #1 thing to do and an unforgetable experience for the kids. After reading a few reviews, we booked a 4 hr afternoon tour with Capt. Jay & First Mate Terresa. They were great! We started out looking for manatees, then headed out in search of dolphins. With Bob Marley playing, we had dolphins surfing and jumping next to the boat in no time! It was the most amazing thing to see them so close! We then went to a secluded beach where we found lots of awesome shells! We didn't want to leave, but it was almost time to head back in. On the way in we stopped at bird island and found a few more playful dolphins. It was an absolutely wonderful time. Nothing beats this private family tour. It's something we'll never forget!
