The boat was comfortable and clean and stocked with ice in a large cooler for our drinks. We saw dolphins and a group of 5 manatees. We swam and went shelling on an island accessible only by boat. We stopped on Cabbage Key for lunch at Jimmy Buffet's restaurant. Our family consisted of 2 50 year old and our 21 and 23 year old children and their significant others. Everyone had a great time. I highly recommend New Wave Eco Charters for a terrific experience !

Went back to New Wave this year. Captain Steve is amazing!!! He's the best--from his wealth of knowledge, personality, and his navigation through the waters around Captiva and area.

Something we all look forward to--best part of vacation!!! Memories for a lifetime!!! Highly recommend!!!

We found a pod of dolphins pretty quickly and had them following us for quite awhile. The manatee cove was empty, except for some jumping fish, so he took us out to a sandbar to look for sand dollars. While at the sandbar he spotted a manatee so we boarded the boat to get a closer look. All in all a great day on the water! I would highly recommend Captain Robin.

Captain Andrew who assisted us throughout the process recommended several stops and places to check out, which made our day even better. He also told us about dolphin alley and how to potentially get them to play in our wake, which resulted in 10+ minutes of dolphins playing in the wake of our boat. One of the coolest things I've ever experienced! The boat looked like it was brand new and it ran great. Definitely a recommended option during a stay in Captiva.

I booked this 3 hour sail for my two teenage kids (17 and 14) and myself as my husband was working…read more I love to sail and have booked many sailing charters in my life and wanted to share this with my kids, even with the $400 price. When we arrived about ten minutes early, the boat was not yet rigged, and Captain Mick immediately begin apologizing for the dirty nature of his boat saying that he forgot his pressure washer and was unable to properly clean the boat. That would've been fine, but his "sense of humor" definitely riled my children (who are very well-adjusted) from the start. He began the trip by "nicknaming" my kids "princess" and "stinky" which I told him would not go over well and please use their names. He got us to help rig the boat and wanted to engage the kids in learning different parts of sailing which would've been great except that his tone was gruff and impatient and somewhat inappropriate (he told my 17 year old daughter to get the sail ready, she needed to put her ass into it). Whenever they would do something incorrectly, he would raise his voice and make them feel stupid or inadequate. "No, not THAT way!!, etc". I could tell they were stressed and hoped that it would get better once we got out into the bay, even nicely suggesting that the kids probably were not used to his type of personality. He said that they should "get over it" and have a sense of humor. When we were sailing around a bend and my daughter was using the wench to bring in the jib he again was gruff and yelling at her for not doing it right and she had tears in her eyes, to which I finally lost my patience and emphatically told him "do NOT yell at my kids. We came out for a nice sailing experience and it has been very stressful." He seemed surprised, as I really don't believe he has insight into how he comes across. He apologized but the rest of the trip was just awkward. I love sailing and being on sailboats and wanted my kids to love it too, but this was not the best way to get them into the experience. Captiva is lovely and Captain Mick knows his stuff when it comes to sailing and history of the island but I definitely suggest that if you go out with him, you need to set your expectations for your trip from the start.
