2.5 hr Sailboat Tour aboard Orion's Child
Overview
Cool Everglades Special Sail. SEE OUR WEBSITE for other options and availability. Since 2009, we offer the cleanest, safest, and best maintained sailing vessel. Multiple daily sails that include a quarter day and sunset sail aboard a real sailboat.
Owned/operated by husband and wife, we immediately reduce the "Creepy Captain and Crew" factor making for a relaxed and comfortable experience for all guests. Our vessel looks like new due to rigorous daily maintenance. You'll feel a sense of pride sailing aboard our vessel as we depart Salty Sam's Marina heading for the Gulf of Mexico. We will pass the shrimp boat fleet and beautiful homes on the way to the Gulf. Once out of the marked channel, we raise our sails and shut the motor off. Wildlife such as dolphins, sea turtles, and various birds can appear at anytime. If the wind allows, we will sail towards the Sanibel lighthouse or along the shores of Fort Myers Beach. Book 6 seats for a private tour. Welcome aboard!
