July 30, 2021 Alida England

The City of Palms is located in Southwestern Florida on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Most visitors go to Fort Myers for the deep-sea fishing, the golf courses and the famous white sand beaches and islands that line the Gulf Coast. A renovation of the city's downtown waterfront promises new restaurants, clubs, shops and galleries. Attractions include the winter estates of Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, as well as nearby Naples and the islands of Sanibel and Captiva.

Since 2009, we offer the cleanest, safest, and best maintained modern sailing vessel. Multiple daily sails that include a quarter day and sunset sail aboard a real sailboat. Visit our website for more options and availability. Owned and operated by a husband and wife, we immediately reduce the "Creepy Captain and Crew" factor and make for a relaxed and comfortable experience for all guests. Our vessel looks like new due to our rigorous daily maintenance. You'll feel a sense of pride sailing aboard our vessel as we depart Salty Sam's Marina heading for the Gulf of Mexico. We will pass the shrimp boat fleet and beautiful homes on the way to the Gulf. Once out of the marked channel, we raise our sails and shut the motor off. Wildlife such as dolphins, sea turtles, manatee, and various birds can appear at anytime. If the wind allows, we will sail towards the Sanibel lighthouse or along the shores of Fort Myers Beach. Book 6 seats for a private tour. Welcome aboard!

Crystal clear sail on a catamaran with a nice group of fellow nature appreciators. Lovely activity one half drive from sanibel island. Do pay attention that traffic can get busy nearing the launch dock in ft Myers. We recommend Dixies (which is five minutes away) for seafood on the water after your sail. That was a recommendation from someone on the sail. We saw baby dolphin and that made the sail even better. Enjoy!

We went out for a 3hr kayaking experience at Bunche Beach and had a fantastic time! The staff made the rental experience and launching so simple and we had everything we needed for a safe afternoon exploring the bay and mangroves. We saw lots of wildlife and were able to take in the beauty and peacefulness of the channels at our own pace. We will definitely do this again on our next visit to Fort Myers. Thank you Kayak Excursions!

Every aspect of EDS was outstanding! !00% rated "Exceeds Expectations." The Everglades is such a huge area and NP. We absolutely saw as much as one can see in a day. Don't DIY the Everglades. Rely on "Jungle Pete" Carradino and EDS. You'll see such much more and efficiently with the experienced tour guides at EDS.
