Naples Sightseeing Boat Tour
Naples
$$
See Naples from the water aboard the Double Sunshine, a well-known local sightseeing vessel that's been giving tours out of Tin City for years. The 90-minute cruise heads from the Gordon River out to the Gulf of Mexico, passing Keewaydin Island and the exclusive, mansion-lined neighborhood of Port Royal along the way, with historical commentary woven throughout about Naples' founding community and its more famous residents. Wildlife sightings are common on this route, with dolphins, birds, and, depending on the season, manatees all regularly spotted from the boat. Because the vessel allows guests to move freely around the deck, it's easy to find a good angle for photos of the skyline, the wildlife, or the waterfront homes as the tour progresses. Snacks and drinks, including alcoholic options, are available for purchase onboard, and restrooms are available as well, making this a comfortable outing even for guests who'd rather not plan around a bathroom break beforehand. This tour is a strong fit for first-time visitors wanting an efficient overview of Naples' waterfront and history, or anyone looking for a relaxed activity that doesn't require much physical effort. With over a thousand reviews and a strong reputation, it's one of the most established sightseeing options in Naples.
