Thank you immensely Capt. Dan and Capt. Diane - wonderful trip today! - How much do we recommend sailing with Magic Wind Adventure Sailing? 150% - it is such a wonderful trip with Capt. Dan and Capt. Diane (great team) and anyone else that joins us on the sail. This is our third trip and we are already planning a fourth. The sailing is outstanding and the boat is pristine. Sailing on the Atlantic ocean, having dolphins join us as well as huge sea turtles is a delight. Seating is comfortable, music so appropriately fits sailing the sea, and learning more about the area is a total bonus. My husband and I love the outstanding experience we have every time and Capt.Dan and Capt. Diane make it magical. When you come to Ft.Myers - this is a definite relaxation and great company. Don’t miss out on a very memorable experience.

Great sailing with Capt Dan and mate ..marvelous day with magic wind - What an amazing sailing experience with Capt Dan and his lovely wife. Weather and wind were perfect. They give u great background ond history of what u were seeing on shoreline. Ex. Sanibel. Lighthouse....limited to 6 people so never crowded we were lucky only 3. We ubered there cause there was a gigantic ohio state party all over the marina. You definitely need reservations for the sailboat experience. So relaxing and this couple takes you for a lovely ride. Highly recommend this experience. Captain and Kate are outstanding and very friendly can't wait to return next year....book it. You will have no regrets

Peaceful and beautiful - We had a wonderful time with Captain Dan and Diane. They are the perfect hosts on their beautiful sailboat, Orion’s Child. It was the highlight of our family trip to Ft Myers. I highly recommend this sailboat adventure. It was breath taking. We saw dolphins and learned so many wonderful things about the gulf.
