Testimonials
“Highly recommend, we had a family in from out of town, did a private trip to Cayo Costa. Captain Eric was very knowledgeable about the area. He contacted me in the morning with the weather conditions and suggested we leave a little later, which was a good call. We saw dolphins, a manatee, and a tarpon, Had a great time!”
“A perfect day on the water! I would highly recommend Captain Eric. We hired Charlotte Harbor Boat Excursions to learn more about the canals, harbor and boat safety. He was enthusiastic about showing us hot spots for dining, fishing and local wildlife.
During our 3 hour tour, he was instrumental in explaining the operations of boating and the importance of navigating safely. He was personable, professional and patient answering our questions as we are new to the area.
If you’re looking for an experienced boat captain, look no further! We will be contacting him again for a tour out into the gulf!”
“I took my sister and her best friend out on Eric’s boat as a birthday gift. It was absolutely perfect. Eric made sure we were comfortable and we had a great tour of the harbor and local canals. It was just a beautiful day and my sister was thrilled to have this private cruise on the water.”

“I highly recommend Charlotte Harbor Boat Excursions. A wonderful experience, Eric is a very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating Captain. You won’t be disappointed 😊”
“We have been on a few excursions with Captain Eric and could not have asked for a better captain. He is very knowledgeable of the area and we were very comfortable during the excursions. Lots of room on the boat.
Our first excursion Captain Eric took us on a tour of the Canals and to Charlotte Harbor.
Our second excursion we went to Boca Grande/Gasparilla and Cayo Costa islands. Captain Eric took us to a sandbar where there is action for those who want to live it up a little or to a secluded island for a more relaxing experience.
Captain Eric is very focused and observant when driving the boat. Each trip he spotted dolphins and stopped the boat so we could watch them.
I highly recommend booking your excursion today.”
“I rarely write reviews. I have to tell you our experience. I called him at 3:30 after another company said it was too late. he said if we met him 30 minutes from our location (1/2 way) he could make it happen. To go on a sunset cruise. We could not make the timeframe (we had a one year old granddaughter with us) he met us 10 minutes from our location we grabbed a pizza a byob and had an excellent time with great conversation and beautiful sunset pics! Captain Eric was the best absolutely recommend!”
“We could not have asked for a better experience! A day before our scheduled cruise, Captain Eric contacted me and suggested we change the day because of the weather forecast. We did change the date and the weather was absolutely beautiful. Captain Eric is very knowledgeable about the area and made a special stop so our husband’s could visit the Vietnam Memorial. We saw dolphins and many beautiful homes before heading out to watch the most beautiful sunset. I would highly recommend this sunset cruise to everyone!! Thank you again for your kindness. I would give you ten stars if I could!!!❤️❤️”
“This was my first trip to Punta Gorda and I was told the best way to see a sunset was by boat. I reached out to Charlotte Harbor Boat Excursions and they provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. Eric’s hospitality was unmatched, and his passion for the area’s natural beauty was evident throughout the journey. The excursion offered breathtaking views of Charlotte Harbor, complete with sightings of playful dolphins and mangrove sanctuaries. The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning sunset, and visit to the beaches on Cayo Costa Island. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, look no further than Captain Eric and Charlotte Harbor Boat Excursions.”
