We booked a sunset dinner cruise for 28 people for the culmination of a company incentive trip to Marco Island. The food was very good and the crew was even better. The captain managed to keep us away from rain storms in the area and we still got to see a bit of the sunset.

Dinner cruise with a group of us was a very enjoyable evening. The singer/karaoke team did a great job the entire boat was dancing we had a lot of fun. The drinks were made well the dinner was as expected probably slightly better than expected and it was just a fun evening. As they say we guarantee a sunset every evening we don't guarantee that you will see it.

My sons and nephews came to Marco Island and all they wanted to do was fish. We booked a private back country tour for 3 hours with Captain Trent. We got poured on rain after about 45 minutes but still managed to catch ten mangrove snapper which made for a story we will always be able to tell and a great meal. Still wanting to fish some more we booked 2 days later for a near shore excursion and caught a rare Cobia and had the best experience with Captain Garret and the best fish meal I ever ate. Sunshine Charters could not have been more accommodating and really was the highlight of our trip. We met some great people, made some great memories and had a great time. There is no other charter I could recommend if you are looking for a a fun and enjoyable day of fishing. Thank you for the experience. We will be back!

This is the best fishing your going to find, I went twice, September 2021, others on the boat were frequent repeat clients. One guy 30 times in three years.
Captains Trent and Greg, both easy going, both had folks who didn’t fish. Cool as could be helped them along. Baited the lines, removed the fish.
The price is absolutely the best on the island for this experience.
Limited out both days. Setting my $$ aside as I’ll be back every month from the snowy north.
Thanks Sunshine keep safe.

We have sailed the Marco princess ship many times, mainly to take guests out for a sunset dinner cruise to see parts of the island canals and river.
A Nice primer dinner and Talapia is served with all the trimmings after cocktails which can be enjoyed on the outside decks.
The rise leaves around 5 PM and returns around 7 PM from Rose marina, the price per person is great for USD $ 75 pp. Parking is adequate with overflow parking across the street at the church.
Try to get seating on the top level for a better view. We have seen dolphins many times, the canal size houses are beautiful. The ship will return at the end of the river for some sunset photo-ops if the weather or time of year allows. Tips are encouraged by the friendly mariners and serving staff upon exit at the gang plank.
Marco Island Resident's Beach member card holders will receive 10% of the listed price.

My boyfriend and I booked a private back water fishing trip with Captain Greg. He took us to several different spots and we both caught fish. It was such a nice boat ride and he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend taking a private fishing trip with him!

We booked the Admirals' sunset dinner cruise with 6 others and asked for a seat up front. We had a view to die for and the dinner buffet was first class. No problem booking online , the staff were super friendly and efficient. We ended up with a great table and enjoyed a leisurely cruise thru the Marco area.
The wines had a great selection, the food was very good, the view was delightful and the guys were asked to go up for seconds..no problem there. Lots of fun, met some nice folks will do this again for sure. Top notch day in Florida !

The dinner cruise was sold out, so we took the lunch cruise. With the constant noise of the bar servers and others, it was extremely difficult to hear the actual history tour. After a lovely Naples cruise on a different line several days earlier, we were disappointed with the territory this trip explored.
The drink prices were much higher than the posted prices, we discovered. The lunch was adequate with a tasty Caesar salad and mini sandwich, but I advise others to avoid the tuna salad.

I spent 5 days in Marco Island during the week of New Years. We took the sunset dinner cruise and it was just perfect. There weren’t many people on board which made me feel safe. Tables were spaced out. The food was buffet but someone served it to you with gloves and a mask on. We had prime rib, chicken Marsala, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Rolls, Caesar Salad and Key Lime pie for dessert was also served. The cruise was relaxing and the sunset was breath taking. The drinks were great too. I had two pineapple upside down martinis (not included in dinner price). Everyone was nice and when I go back in June, I will be doing this again.

Husband and I enjoyed sunset dinner cruise. When made reservation mentioned I was Gluten free. When we checked in she mentioned the Gluten free request. When they brought the salad the server mentioned mine was gluten free, mixed greens with strawberry vinegarete dressing on side vs. Caesars salad for husband. When went for main plate, mentioned to chef gluten free, plated prime rib then he went to kitchen and brought out plate of two cod fillets and white rice, vs potatoe encrusted cod and mixed rice. For dessert, server brought me delicious gluten free fudge chocolate brownie vs key lime pie. I felt very special and catered to. Great experience. The extra cod fillet was put in box. One thing they could improve would be providing a steak knife vs. bread knife to cut the meat.

We were on vacation on Marco one year and wanted to take the sunset cruise again but you were closed (this was late June, early July). Do you have a schedule for 2018?

Did anyone else have a difficult time hearing the information that was given over the loudspeaker? If there where highlights of the tour, we missed them.

Is it better to sit below or above deck? Never been on a boat this size n wondering about the temps, wind during dinner cruise?
