Sunset cruise
AH12400, October 2026
We had a beautiful sunset cruise! The guide was really friendly and personable.
However, we never went to Sanibel island, to view the lighthouse. We all thought that was inclusive! We did see several dolphins!!
Overall, it was very relaxing!
Response from the operator · crccharters Glad to hear you enjoyed our Sunset Cruise. In the explanation of the tour it clearly states that you can see the Lighthouse in the distance as the sunsets. Sorry for the confusion.
★★★★★ Viator review
Nice relaxing cruise!
Gary_S, September 2026
Deacon and Jeremiah were great! We had nice weather, and partly cloudy skies made for some great pics. Didn't see many dolphins (a few from a distance), but timing is everything. It was still a nice way to get together with friends. Do it!
