We were the only ones sailing that day, so we had a wonderful private sailing. Even though we were sailing in high tide, Mr. Joel and Jake made us feel safe and comfortable. The boat was clean and had a lot of seating and standing areas. It was a relaxing journey and our guides were very kind. I would have loved to get some more history from the start of the tour but overall a great sailing experience.

Fantastic experience! Great sailing and we got to see all the sites, and the dolphins were amazing and plentiful! Rainbows to end our cruise! Very friendly and allow you to sail too!
This was an amazing experience. It was my first time on a boat and I truly loved it! It was for my boyfriends birthday and he had fun as well! I would definitely do this again!
Great experience!!! Crew was amazing!!!
Had a great trip, no sunset but the trip to the lighthouse and back were worth the try! Fired upon by a pirate ship - we were going to fight but just let the captain and mate sail us off with no issues! Very relaxing and just a good time!
We had so much fun! Our hosts were awesome. They showed us around, made everything easy, and kept the whole experience fun from start to finish. We'd definitely do this excursion again!
We had such a wonderful time! The Captain was very informative and very laid back. Interacted with the kids. Spotted dolphin which was definitely a highlight. We would definitely do it again. We had a small group which was very nice. The Captains assistant was very sweet and helpful. 2 hours went by so quickly but was an unforgettable experience. My granddaughter actually said " I wish we could go back in time and go sailing again"
The entire family enjoyed the Copacetic Day Sail Tour. The marina was easy to find with plenty of parking. The sailing experience included, allowing the children ages 10 through 16 to help hoist the sails and the youngest to steer the boat. Both the captain and his assistant were knowledgeable, hospitable, and entertaining. And the Dolphins did not disappoint us, with many traveling alongside the boat at times. I would highly recommend this for both adults and children.
Fun relaxing sail! The crew was welcoming and friendly. We saw dolphins, and enjoyed a beautiful view.
Great first sailing experience! They checked 3 radars - weather ended up being perfect and got back right before a little storm crept up. 💯 Highly recommend!
We took the sunset tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to the captain and Hailey! 💙
Had an absolute blast aboard Copacetic with capt’n Dave and Hailey! They were very welcoming and let me help hoist the sails and man the helm which made for the whole experience of sailing for the day!
WILL be coming back. The catamaran was clean, safe, instructions were clear, and ugh it was such a good time. Absolutely would reccomend.
The staff was great very welcoming to my little kid. They showed him a great first boat ride. The guy at check in was great with my little one, the sailing staff was fun and friendly. Provided a nice smooth relaxing ride and shared local knowledge. Really cool
It was a great, relaxing 2 hours. But you did have to pay extra for parking. Which is not understandable!
Great day for a sale on the Gulf. Captain and his first mate were wonderful. Just 2 children on the boat and they enjoyed it a lot. They even got to steer the boat. We saw a Sea Turtle, tons of dolphins and many birds. Best part was just being on the water and meeting new people.
We had a perfect day of sailing!! The boat is beautiful and spacious. The crew were great at talking about the boat and the local area and the wildlife. We got lucky and say many dolphins and a few manatees! One person saw a sea turtle, but it dove before the rest of us could catch a glimpse. Great for families. They let the kids drive the boat too!
Beautiful sailboat and wonderful staff. We were able to see dolphins and manatees and to get did a great job sailing. We loved laying out on the nets.
We were the group with the only child on the boat. They made his experience memorable. He was able to help lift one sail and later steer the boat. It is the perfect length of time for a bit of water experience.
So relaxing and fun. Crew took time to engage kids with steering boat. Would highly recommend.
We seen manatees and dolphins. Captain Pat wondered who the dolphin whisperer was! Captain and his mate Hailey were professional and personable. We will be back!
It was great! The captain and assistant were so nice! We got to see dolphins and gave us the opportunity to steer the boat!
We had a great time on the water with an experienced captain. We saw dolphins and enjoy walking and standing on the boat as we sailed to see everything around us. So peaceful.
We had a really relaxing time ! Easy, quiet, friendly people. Captain and first mate were hospitable and fun to talk to. 10/10. Stop by Pinchers for a pre and post cocktail.
We had an enjoyable sail on Copacetic with our family - 3 adults and 2 kids, ages 8 and 5. The trip was about 2 hours total from the departure point in Fort Myers Beach, to Sanibel Island, and back.
We had a wonderful afternoon sail. The crew was very informative and friendly and we saw a handful of dolphins which was an added plus. Highly recommend this tour for groups of all ages.
The Copacetic Catamaran tour was wonderful. We all were pleasantly surprised by what a nice time we all had. The tour was informative, we got to see wildlife and enjoy the lovely see breeze. We enjoyed the tour so much we recommended it to friends and now they are going. If you love boat rides, you’ll love this one. Thank you.
I've been on a lot of day sails, mostly in the Caribbean. This skipper and his assistant are at the top of my alk tine list for their friendliness, attentiveness, and skill (docking in the wind was no breeze, pardon the pun). Add cheap drinks to the mix, and it was an alogether very pleasant day.
One GREAT for each star.. Great time, great breeze, great information given by the 2 captains, great pair of dolphins made an appearance, and great Florida sun.
Beautiful day on a smooth vessel 🚢 highly recommend this excursion for a relaxing, refreshing atmosphere.
Exceptional day to be on the water with a very attentive crew. The entire cruise was filled with information about the area and even spent time watching dolphins swim around us. We recommend this to everyone.
We definitely had a copacetic day! The catamaran is beautiful and Captain Joel and Kate were extremely knowledgeable and fun.
We took the sunset cruise and loved it. Joe and Jack were very friendly and helpful. We sailed along the coast of Ft. Myers and enjoyed a beautiful sunset despite the clouds.lots of dolphins crossed our path and followed our boat for a while. I was allowed to take the helm for a long time, which will make this trip unforgettable for me. Thank you Joe and Jack for this unforgettable evening.
Excellent captains, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! Very relaxing 2 hours! We could sit on the mesh seating once the sails were up. (Maximum capacity for the catamaran is 25 ppl). We had a total of 5 on board. There is shade covering to get away from direct sun. This was our second cruise with Copacetic and they did not disappoint. One FYI, the parking lot charges $10 per vehicle (not part of Copacetic). There are restrooms available at the parking hut along with chairs and tables while you wait for the tour. Copacetic charges a small fees for available wine or beer. Our friends were so grateful to experience their first catamaran.
We wanted a fun & relaxing catamaran boat tour, this tour delivered. The captain was personable & talked about history of the different areas we saw. His jr captain was great too. They both answered questions & made it fun. Definitely would rebook when we’re looking to go back out. Bring cash for tips, they didn’t use Venmo.
We had a 3:15 sail originally, but the weather didn’t want to cooperate. However, the crew called and said that they had an evening sail and the weather looked better. While the sun never came through the clouds, it was a very nice evening sail out to Sanibel Island where we found a dolphin looking for his dinner. The crew was very kind and even let my son and another passenger take over the ‘driving’ of the boat.
The sail was canceled because of threatening weather. We were told a refund thru TripAdvisor would be issued. I am waiting for the full refund notice from TripAdvisor.
Always a great time! Not our first or our last experience with this company. Captain and crew are great! We will be back!
I would definitely recommend this charter, my wife and I have a great time. The captain and his hand offer a lot of great information, I was even given the opportunity to steer the boat for a while. The captain has years of sailing experience to include racing sailboats.
It was incredibly relaxing and enjoyable and would do it again in a heartbeat. David and Joel were very knowledgeable, attentive and a joy to share the ride with. We sailed out to Sanibel and back. If I had known how relaxing it was to sail, we probably would have done a longer trip. If you are looking for an alternative to a tiki cruise, this should be your first choice.
Such a great experience with amazing views! The crew went above and beyond to make the experience as memorable and fun as possible for my family. We helped steer the boat, raise the sails, and got to relax with a couple beers in the sun. (And even spotted a few playful dolphins along the way who swam right under us!) They even popped a bottle of bubbley for my dad's birthday! Couldn't recommend this sailing experience more! Thank you, Copacetic!
Casual, family friendly. Bathroom on board is a plus. Toured the gulf between Ft Myers and Sanibel island.
We had a great time and met great people. Views were great and we were lucky enough to see Dolphins. Captains were great and took the time to show us some cool spots along with stories. They were super attentive. I would definitely do this again!
This was an awesome trip! David and Joel were absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable about the area. We also got to see some dolphins which was very cool!
Great time beautiful weather and captain and mate did a really good job interacting with us. None of us ever on a sailboat great time.
Captain Joel and His First Mate David were incredibly gracious and accommodating during our trip. Once in open water and under full sail with no motor... it was about as relaxing and peaceful as it can get. Full enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend it.
Lovely, gentle sail. Beautiful day with experienced and gentlemanly crew. Saw dolphins and toasted some birthday travelers.
We had a little difficulty finding the correct dock, but we are new to the area. We had the most wonderful afternoon! The crew is knowledgeable and shared interesting facts as we sailed. All the passengers were very friendly. We plan to do the sunset cruise next time. We highly recommend this adventure.
Awful, they lied and said they would wait for us. They didn’t wait because of we had under problems..
The late afternoon sail was not as packed as the sunset creating an intimate experience. The captains were very impressionable and created a great atmosphere. It was a bit chilly and they provided blankets and it was very thoughtful.
