The boat

Nicely appointed Beneteau Antares 9.8 can accommodate 4 passengers. Owner is USCG captain and 1 crew included. Spend the day cruising the coast of north Naples to Bonita Beach or head south to Naples and explore Naples Bay, depending on the hours included in your tour.

You can opt to anchor off the beach and go for a swim and hang off shore or slowly troll for fish. One rod onboard, so bring your own and tackle/bait if this is the wish for the day....

Currently need to go out of Wiggins Pass 2 hours before and return within 2 hours after high tide. Unless you and your group would like a one-way trip to Naples Bay.



Embark on a singular journey where the brilliant Naples sunlight becomes your guide, painting the scenery in ever-changing hues throughout a magical day. Aboard your private boat, you discover Naples not just as a destination, but as a living, breathing tableau, evolving with every passing hour.



Your morning casts off from Naples Bay, the rising sun illuminating the grand estates with a golden glow. The air is crisp, the water calm, setting a tranquil tone as we navigate through the elegant waterways. Here, the unique architecture takes on a new dimension, offering unparalleled photographic opportunities from the water's gentle swell.



As we transition into the vast expanse of the Gulf, the sunlight shifts, rendering the turquoise waters in a vibrant, almost ethereal clarity. This is your floating retreat, a mobile sanctuary allowing you to access exclusive, pristine spots unseen by others. Drop anchor by a secluded barrier island, where the sun kisses the white sands, inviting you to simply relax, read, or enjoy the sheer luxury of doing absolutely nothing. The water’s inviting embrace is just a step away.



Throughout the midday, the sun overhead creates a dazzling play of light and shadow, revealing the intricate beauty of the mangrove estuaries. Glide into these natural labyrinths, where the vibrant green canopy offers cool shade, and the stillness invites intimate wildlife encounters. Spot a graceful dolphin leaping, its skin glistening under the direct sun, or a curious manatee surfacing in the dappled light. Every moment is a unique frame to capture.



As afternoon light softens, lending a warm, artistic glow, the environment transforms again. The vibrant colors of the day deepen, perfect for a leisurely cruise along the coast, blending views of classic "Old Florida" charm with modern luxury.



The day culminates in the breathtaking Naples sunset. Positioned perfectly on the water, you witness the sky explode in a symphony of reds, oranges, and purples, each minute offering a new, dramatic masterpiece. The light fades, leaving a lingering warmth and a profound sense of rejuvenation, imprinting indelible memories of Naples' unparalleled aquatic splendor.

I have been sailing since high school on a variety of boats. Became more serious about sailing in my late twenties sailing a 26' Soling for four years then a 32' Ericson for 24 years along the Southern California coast until September 2022 when we moved to SW Florida. My wife and I purchased a flybridge cruiser in 2023 sailed her up the Intercoastal Waterway from Naples through Lake Okeechobee and on up to Charleston SC this past spring in 2024. We had a great time visiting the many ports and anchorages that make up the ICW and east coast shore. Now and or soon, I will be happy to Captain your boat or rental, near or far...
