Dock wisdom

The best shelling is on an outer-island trip, the islands' own sand gets picked over.

Morning dolphin tours get the calmest water and the most active pods.

Sunset sails sell out first in season, book a day ahead.

Most trips leave from Sanibel Marina or McCarthy's Marina up on Captiva.

Operators are real local fixtures — confirm current sailing times and prices with each operator before you go. Countdowns run on the real local clock and the sunset sail time is computed from tonight’s actual sunset.
