Naples is a quiet little Florida paradise, nestled by the edge of the everglades. It stands as the ideal romantic retreat, especially for those who love big open views of the water and a tropical atmosphere.
One of the best ways to indulge in the romance is with a boat trip or, as we like to call it in Naples, a romantic cruise. Take a romantic sunset cruise with your love, and see firsthand how we in Naples do romance. Below we cover the top four local providers. Contact us to receive further information, including transportation, parking, times, prices, and available Naples beachfront rentals.
Naples Princess
Naples Princess is a pure luxury yacht. Bombastic and majestic, the yacht ventures to the waters of Port Royal and the Naples Bay. The Naples princess docks right in downtown Naples at the Port of Naples Marina. This is located right at the Tin City shopping area, which hosts some of the coolest and funkiest boutique shops in the city.
While you can book the yacht for a private trip, it is the sunset cruises that remain the most popular. The Naples Princess keeps things refined and under crowded, avoiding packing big groups in for a trip. This means you have space to cuddle up and admire the sunset, as well as dine quietly by a window.
Sunset cruises carry you through Gordon’s Pass as you dine on barbeque ribs, prime rib, beef tenderloin, veal roast, fish or chicken, and other varied selections. Sides include an assortment of vegetables, potatoes, fresh bread rolls, and salads.
The sunset cruise is two hours long. It departs just about every night of the week, with a few weekdays closed during the off-season (usually around late winter). You can call 239-649-2275 for tickets. Tickets must be purchased prior to your planned trip.
Pure Florida Naples
Pure Florida is the master of boating adventures. Between epic fishing expeditions for seasoned vets and family-friendly dolphin cruises around the gulf, there’s a lot to admire and appreciate with this top local provider. But what we love more than anything else (especially for romance) is the Pure Florida sunset cruise.
Aside from seeing the spectacular Naples sunset, you can admire other local sights and sounds, from the frolicking dolphin to the large waterfront mansions. Get an unobstructed view of the setting sun. Dine on a delicious meal for two and catch unexpected sea life following the boat or floating on by as you pass. The sunset cruise is about an hour and a half and it departs daily 1 hour prior to sunset.
Naples Water Tours
The Naples Water Tours departs by the Boathouse on Naples Bay. Once you leave, you can appreciate the local beauty. The one-hour sightseeing tour is the most popular. For just $35 an adult, you can see dolphins and avoid the crowds of larger family-oriented boating trips. For a casual and affordable group option, check out Naples Water Tours.
Sweet Liberty Catamaran Sailing and Boat Tours
Sweet Liberty does not offer a private dinner, however, you instead get a laid-back and romantic trip where guests can bring a picnic basket and some wine. Departure times will vary depending on when the sun sets. The Sweet Liberty runs every day. The price is $36 per adult and the trips are typically around two hours.
