How does this sound to wash all your cares away; cruising on beautiful blue water, learning of its lure, watching a brilliant sunset, listening to music, drinking cold beverages and eating snacks you probably shouldn't. That's one of the many options Captiva Cruises offers for the "Sunset Serenade Cruise." The boats for the various cruises leave from both McCarthy's Marina and South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island. There is a bar on board some of the vessels as well as snacks. For lunch, reserve a seat for a sailing excursion to beautiful Cabbage Key or the exclusive Useppa Island. Captiva Cruises is always adding new trips and adventures. Schedules vary depending on the time of year so be sure to call for reservations.
