FantaSea Sailing - Fort Myers Beach, Florida

Our group of 6 had a blast on this sailing adventure! We felt like we were a part of the crew as Captain Adam made us feel at home on his boat. We brought our own food and drinks and ended the evening sitting in the harbor laughing and talking about the trip. It was an amazing sunset on our 3 hour trip along the Fort Myers Beach coast.

We had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Adam and his crew member Al on a sunny day in April. We had a fantastic time. It was just the two of us for the sail and after a safety briefing and tour of the boat we headed out. The vessel is comfortable and would fit 6 easily. Conversation with Adam and Al was terrific and the time just flew by. My husband got to steer we saw dolphins and sailed by the lighthouse on Sanibel. You can bring your own snacks and drinks on board and you can sit in the shade or the sun. Our journey ended and we will definitely be back!

Captain Paul and his first mate were perfect hosts, happily accommodating every desire of all guests, and ensuring that we all had nothing short of a blissful sailing experience. The Panacea is a beautiful and comfortable sailboat, and I only wish we could have stayed onboard longer! We loved it so much, we went on multiple cruises in two days! Each cruise had a slightly different but equally pleasant vibe, depending on the guests' moods and the breezes. Some were gentle and quiet, relaxing and calm, and others were more adventurous with a slightly more brisk breeze and a real sailing experience!

Bring a small picnic and/or beverages if you like (there's drinking water on board), loads of sunscreen (lotion, not spray, because you don't want to make that deck slippery!), an extra layer of clothing (esp if you go for the sunset cruise), and a nice camera with a sturdy neck strap if you want nicer photos. Captain Paul can also supply you with a handy little gadget called a "CellGrasp" that helps secure your phone to your hand so you can take phone pics without worrying about dropping it in the drink. Clever!

If you're lucky, you'll spot some lovely Gulf Coast wildlife. We saw osprey, pelicans, dolphins, and one sea turtle.

The marina was easy to find (in high tourist season, give yourself plenty of time to get through traffic!), and parking was included for the day. The Panacea had everything we needed: both shaded and sunny area options for lounging above deck, galley and head in the full-height spacious cabin.

I couldn't recommend this sailing cruise more highly. I will definitely be back again, and again! If you love being ON the water, not just near it, this is a MUST-DO excursion!

Fantastic experience with a great captain. Played some great tunes while sailing the Fort Meyers/Sanibel coast. Lots of room and plenty of shade which we need. Will definitely book again.

My husband and I had a wonderful sail with Capt. Adam. He's very knowledgeable with an eye for safety. We had no worries as we enjoyed our sail that ended with an amazing sunset.

It was a great experience. Captain Andy was excellent. We started out with fog, but it cleared up in time to see a great sunset. Thanks Captain Andy for a great trip.

Adam K.

Booked a sunset cruise and had a wonderful, relaxing sail. It's great that it's not to crowded and that there's plenty of space to move around on the boat. Captain Paul was professional, cordial, jovial, and all around great guy.

My two adult daughters and I enjoyed a 2 1/2 hour sunset celebration sail this evening and we all had a lovely time! The Panacea is a beautiful, spacious sailboat and Captain Adam made sure we were comfortable and that we knew all the do’s and dont’s of sailing and moving around on the boat. The captain played a great selection of music and gave us an opportunity to blow the conch shell at sunset! I’ll try to post the video Of that here. I think this is a terrific value and would definitely recommend it. We will be back next year!!
