A Top-Rated Holiday Activity in Punta Gorda, FL ★★★★★
Great views of the bay and most entertaining history lesson about south Florida by our captain. Mates Vince and Lindsey were running up and down both decks taking orders and seeing to it that kids got their special treats as well as serving the “adult beverages” to us. Recommend bringing a jacket if you’re doing the Christmas lights tour but the day time one that we did today was very pleasant.

This is the third time my family and I have enjoyed the Christmas Cruise to see the canal Christmas lights. This however was the first time our 7yo grandson had taken the cruise and he loved it! This is the perfect holiday event to get you in the holiday spirit. Captain Rickey Duet and mates Brenda and Brad made our experience the BEST!

This 2 hour New Years Eve cruise to see the last sunset of 2023 over Port Charlotte Harbor, followed by a cruise through the Punta Gorda canals to view the Christmas Lights was truly magical and fun from start to finish! What made the cruise really special was the personal attention given everyone on board by Captain Rick and mates Boston Mike and Ray. My husband and I look forward to trying other cruises offered by the King Fisher Fleet!
