2.5 hr Sailboat Tour aboard Orion's Child
Overview
TripAdvisor SPECIAL MONDAY ONLY 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!

We did the sunset tour with Captain Dan and First Mate Dianne and it was fabulous! It was our first time on a sailboat and they made it a great experience. The boat is beautiful and is kept super clean. It only holds 6 passengers but we liked the personal feel of it. We felt very comfortable on board and Dan and Dianne are very easy to talk to. Dianne was kind enough to take photographs of us. The views were nice, it was not too windy, and the sunset was awesome. Would highly recommend!
