Enjoy a Visit to Historic Boca Grande!
Begin your day with a delightful two-hour cruise across Charlotte Harbor. The crew will talk about local history and help spot birds, dolphins, and other marine wildlife on one of the country’s richest estuaries. Before you arrive at the island, the crew will share tips about ways to enjoy your visit to the historic seaside community of Boca Grande, located on Gasparilla Island.
Our destination is Boca Grande Marina, where you’ll go ashore to enjoy 3 hours of island time. Spend your time dining, shopping, enjoying the beach, exploring, or just sitting back to watch the boats come and go. A restaurant is located at the marina where we dock and several other food and shopping options as well as a very nice Gulf beach can be found by walking approx. 12 to 15 minutes from our docking location. We will pick you back up at Boca Grande Marina for the trip across Charlotte Harbor towards home. This is a great trip for spotting dolphins!
