The Cruise
The only way to really see Port Royal
Port Royal is Naples' most exclusive neighborhood — gated, hedged, and all but invisible from the street. But every estate backs up to the water. Step aboard and the whole hidden world opens up: mansion after waterfront mansion, private docks lined with yachts, and tropical gardens most people never get to see.
Your captain knows these canals by heart, weaving from the calm of Naples Bay out toward Gordon Pass and the Gulf. It's relaxed, scenic and endlessly photogenic — and you'll almost always share the water with dolphins, manatees and wading birds along the way.

Guest Love
A cruise everyone remembers
We did the Port Royal cruise on our last evening in Naples and it was the highlight of the whole trip. The houses are unreal, and our captain knew every story. Dolphins followed us right through the pass!
Such a relaxing, beautiful cruise. We sipped wine and gawked at mansion after mansion while the captain pointed out the best ones. Saw dolphins and even a manatee. Highly recommend.
Took my parents out for their anniversary. Calm water, gorgeous homes and a gorgeous sunset over the Gulf. The captain made it feel like our own private tour. Just perfect.

Naples & Port Royal cruise questions
Everything you need to know before you cast off. Still curious? Give us a call.
What will we see on the cruise?
You'll cruise Naples Bay into the canals of Port Royal — Naples' most exclusive neighborhood — past multi-million-dollar waterfront mansions, private mega-yacht docks and lush estates, out toward Gordon Pass and the Gulf. Dolphins, manatees and wading birds are common along the way.
How long is the cruise?
Most Naples & Port Royal cruises run about 90 minutes to two hours, with longer half-day and private options available. Exact times and durations show on the booking screen.
Is it a private cruise?
We offer both — hop on a scheduled cruise, or book the whole boat privately for your group (up to 26). Private is the way to go for special occasions and is wonderfully flexible.
Will we see dolphins?
Very often! Gordon Pass and the bay are favorite dolphin spots, and manatees turn up in the canals too. Wildlife is wild, so we can't promise — but sightings are common.
Is it good for kids and grandparents?
Absolutely. The water is calm and protected, the ride is smooth and shaded, and there's plenty to point at. We carry Coast Guard-approved life jackets in adult and child sizes.
Where do we leave from?
We depart from Naples Bay Resort & Marina (1500 5th Ave S, Naples) and from San Marco Marina in Goodland (604 E Palm Ave). Your exact meeting point and parking come with your booking confirmation. Plan to arrive about 15 minutes early.
