"Our sunset sail with Cool Beans was the perfect ending to our Marco Island vacation. There were seven of us, including three kids aged 10, 8, and 8. We were joined by just one other small group of four, so it almost felt like a private tour.

The location was easy to find, we arrived a little early as requested- filling out the paperwork was quick and straightforward.

First Mate Kyle offered his hand from the dock to the deck and Captain Patrick warmly greeted each of us. From the moment we stepped aboard, both men were absolute gentlemen.

Once aboard, Captain Patrick introduced himself and shared his personal sailing experience, which not only put us at ease but was also very fascinating. He emphasized safety and carefully explained the necessary precautions ensuring we all felt secure and prepared for our journey.

First Mate Kyle was attentive, always ready with a refill, ensuring our glasses were full as we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The two hours spent aboard the boat was incredibly smooth and calming, we had plenty of space to walk around the boat freely.

Captain Patrick positioned the boat just right for the sunset, First Mate Kyle took photos of everyone with the perfect sea and sky backdrop. We were treated to champagne as Captain Patrick gave a heartfelt speech that made us all feel deeply connected—not just to each other, but to the boat, the water, and the world around us. It was such an endearing, memorable moment! We were fortunate enough to witness a green flash- a rare, fleeting phenomenon where the top of the setting sun briefly appears green just as it dips below the horizon. So cool!

Overall, it was definitely worth every moment, and we would love to sail with Captain Patrick and Kyle again! Highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful sunset on the water. Cheers!"

"I cannot say enough great things about our boat cruise and our captain Dave!
Shawn and Kelly made it so easy to book on the day of and made a really really special night for us at sunset on the boat. From beginning to end, everyone was fantastic to work with and Dave who drove our boat was just the sweetest most knowledgeable guy we could've asked for! Don't bother looking anywhere else - this company is affordable and delivers a once in a lifetime experience!"

"Our morning on the "Cool Beans" was the perfect combination of memorable and relaxing. I have been on a lot of charter vessels for fishing, dining, site seeing, etc. but this trip stands out for sure. Prior reservations are a must as only 20 people per trip are on board. I found Cool Beans to be the perfect size to be able to move freely have a selection of seating and an abundance of views. The Captain and Crew immediately conveyed that not only was the trip for sun, fun and enjoyment but that they were competent at their respective roles and that safety was paramount. Having a child along with me that was an instant win for the trip. They gave a quick but concise overview of safety protocols and locations for life vests and other safety items. Drinks (soda, beer and wine) are included with the trip and you can also bring your own light snacks if you wish. We were able to see dolpins and some of the beautiful real estate on the way out from the dock and then anchored offshore from a small island that had incredible shelling. At every point of the trip the crew was personable, engaged with us and attentive. I would honestly not blink at paying double what they charge for the experience. It is a tremendous value and something you should consider any time you are in the Naples/Marco Island area."
