Fort Myers Dinner/Lunch Cruise
 
We'll be staying in Fort Myers Beach over Christmas and New Year's and have heard that there may be a dinner cruise right from Fort Myers Beach, but I haven't come up with any information on a search here. We're aware of one from Sanibel, but it's not quite what we're looking for and a previous poster mentioned that it was quite pricey.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, there is a new dinner cruise going out of Fort Myers Beach. It's very visible- right on the main road going to the beach. Great boat and a good band the night we were there.

Do you remember the name of the boat? Do you know if they have a website that I can check?

I found the brochure. It is Fort Myers Beach Cruises. They run out of the Getaway marina on San Carlos Blvd. We had a great time. The food was buffet style, pleantiful and very good, with a chicken and a fish choice (great crab cakes!), The band on the top deck was lively, and there was a bar on top and bottom decks. The lower deck was quiteter for those who wanted a break from the music. We went right by the beach. Beautiful- dolphin feeding, pleicans everywhere, etc.

The phone number in the brochure is 1-800-238-1776. I haven't checked out the website yet.

The website is www.fortmyersbeachcruises.com

Thank you. I'll check out the website.
Did you feel that you needed to make reservations or could we take the chance and just wait for good weather? Actually, it may be a lot different over the holidays.
Has anyone else done this during that time?
