Featured attraction: Estero Bay Express

They say variety is the spice of life, and the day cruise offerings on The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel never disappoint. The newest addition to the local day cruise industry is the Estero Bay Express, a 49-passenger Corinthian pontoon boat docked at Fish Tale Marina on Fort Myers Beach.

The new operation emphasizes variety with dozens of themed day cruises available, from private charters for special events such as birthdays, anniversaries and corporate parties to cruises focused on activities such as fishing, sand sculpting, shelling and dolphin watching.

On-board catering is available and culinary themes abound with a champagne sunset cruise, wine tasting cruises and appetizer cruises listed among the company’s standard fare. Or, cruisers can catch their own dinner with backwater and offshore chartered fishing excursions.

The Estero Bay Express also invites customers to name a destination and design their own itinerary with the custom cruise option. Make it a family friendly outing with something for all ages, throw a navigationally themed company retreat or plan a romantic proposal or wedding by sea.

All cruises explore the Estero Bay area, and the company promises a family-friendly experience with something for all ages.

The Estero Bay Express also offers plenty of opportunities to cruise at a time that fits visitors’ vacation schedules with multiple departures planned daily. However, departure times do vary. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the ship’s store at 239-463-3600. Power boat, pontoon boat and kayak rentals also are available.
