Captain Dave and First Mate Steve, were top class on this wonderful cruise! They were very knowledgeable and informative about the area and the marine life. The dolphin cruise was awesome, we saw lots of dolphins and some stingrays! It was a 2 hour trip and well worth it, very reasonably priced!!! Will definitely go again and would highly recommend them!!!

Such a fun trip. We saw so many dolphins and manatees throughout the boat ride. The captain was very knowledgeable and the bartender Tracie was so fun and the best! We are definitely going to come back again!

We had the absolute most amazing time here, the captains were absolutely amazing. We can not wait to come back. It was worth every penny and such an amazing experience

Absolutely awesome trip. We saw so many dolphins and the captain got them to follow the boat and do tricks. Super nice and professional staff

Sight Sea-R Cruises was an absolute blast! Our crew, Dave and Tracie, were so awesome! There is a small bar on the pontoon, a bathroom, and shaded spots available for those who don't want to be in the sun. Tracie is really outgoing and friendly and made good cocktails! Dave was friendly, informative, and did a great job. It was a smooth ride and a gorgeous day. We had 4-6 different dolphins playing in the wake of the boat. It was really awesome to see them playing and jumping. This tour is family friendly too. After the tour, make sure to eat at Salty Sam's. It was a great day!

We had such an amazing Trip with Captain Dave and Tracy, lots of love to this guys! It was super fun and we saw Dolphins, Rays and Manatees. Its was stunning! If you are looking for a special Day during your vacation - this is the place to be !! :) Greetings from Germany

Amazing views! make sure your phone is charged to get videos/pictures of all the dolphins! The captain Dave and mate Steve were great tour guides

Captain David and Tracie were awesome! Tracie has eyes like a hawk for spotting dolphins! We saw so many and they sure did put on a show for us!! Thank you guys for a great tour. My grandchildren loved it! As did all the adults in my party!!

This was thee best choice we made so far!! The captain Ted was amazing! He gave us so much information. About the birds, the abandoned boats, and then the best part...THE DOLPHINS!! We actually got to see some. HANDS DOWN THE BEST!!! WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!!

Took some time to convince my family that this was the best way to spend our last vacation day in Ft. Myers Beach, but they were universally delighted by the end of the boat ride. We took the Dolphin & Wildlife Adventure (2 hour) Cruise and had so much fun. We must have seen about 20 dolphins, no kidding, and they were jumping all around the boat as well. We got some great videos and wonderful memories. The crew on board was easy going & informative too. It seemed everyone on the boat had a great time, a lot of laughter all around -- a perfect way to complete our family vacation. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our sunset cruise with Captain Dennis! His knowledge of the area and the wildlife is very impressive. Booked to impress out-of-town guests. Even the 5-year old loved it! I must say that the dolphins at the end of the cruise was the icing on the cake of a perfect day with friends.

Engaging crew!! Captain Teddy and first mate Steve. These guys do a fantastic job. Really spending the time pointing out interesting landmarks, wildlife and DOLPHINS. Such an enjoyable cruise around the bay. Had the dolphins right up to the boat. Great shade available on the boat. Has a bar on board so adult and non alcoholic beverages available! If you get the opportunity to take this sight seeing cruise please do it. Side note: my family is pretty picky, crabby and mostly difficult. They loved it!!!! Everybody was pleased and had a great time!!!!!!!

Teddy and Al were excellent! My husband and I had a wonderful time on the dolphin cruise. Both were very knowledgeable about the area as well as the dolphins. I highly recommend taking this cruise you won't regret it!!

We had a fantastic trip on the Sight Sea-R Cruise. Captain Teddy and his first mate provided an enjoyable cruise. They were both very knowledgeable and entertaining. The dolphins put on a show the entire 2-hour cruise. I highly recommend them!

We took this cruise out of Ft. Myers Beach and it was awesome. Captain Teddy knew where to go to find the Dolphins We saw several pods. They swam up to the boat. They followed the wake of the boat. They jumped out of the water for us to see. We saw a mother with a baby. There were two that swam with the wake of the boat almost like a synchronized swimming show. These wild dolphins were liked trained performers. Captain Teddy knew a lot about the environment and nature. He was very informative. I will definitely take this trip again.

Captain Teddy was extremely knowledgeable about dolphins and it made it so interesting and fun. We saw all kinds of dolphins - even brand new baby dolphins! Captain Steve served up great drinks... we all had a great time!

The Ultimate Charter Experience

Meet the Captain

Starting at an early age off Cape Cod through retirement in Florida, Captain Rick has always been an avid sailor.  Some of his favorite places to cruise were Montauk, Shelter Island, Green Port, Rockland and Bar Harbor.  Of the boats I’ve owned since being in Florida, Resolute is his favorite, and he would love to share this sailing experience with you!

Our Sailing Testimonials

Our good friends from New Hampshire were in need of a true Florida experience during their visit to Fort Myers and Sun Sailing Charters did not disappoint! Captain Rick and the crew of Fair Winds shared sailing secrets and surrounded us with nature as they tried hard to find some good wind out in San Carlos Bay on a sunny, 85 degree day. They regaled us with stories and shared bits of themselves so by the end we left feeling like we had a few more friends! Thank you, Captain Rick and crew for a memorable sail!

We can highly recommend a sail with Captain Rick and his assistant, Sheldon. We felt completely safe and in good hands on this immaculate sailing ship. Captain Rick was kind enough to allow Dave, my partner to steer quite awhile and gave great instruction on sailing. Seating was very comfortable. Upon leaving, Rick’s wife gave us a couple treat bags- very sweet. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Bio: I’ve been on a charter boat since I was 13 years old. Originally from Michigan, I started doing walleye charters on Lake Erie and salmon charters on Lake Michigan. Even fished in the FLW walleye tour for a few years. 

Saltwater fishing became a huge passion when my wife and I started doing more vacations to Florida. Been fishing in the waters near Cape Coral / Ft. Myers for the past 16 years.  Doing approximately 100 or more trips a year, between fishing and cruising, I am very familiar with the water and will make your trip very enjoyable.
