Join Coquina Sands neighbors for a 2 hour Sunset Cruise on Rookery Bay. This is a private charter of the Conservancy Good Fortune II with Coast Guard certified crew members: captain and naturalist for narration.
See spectacular waterways, wading birds, and maybe dolphins.
Water, beer, wine and snacks will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own beverages and snacks.
Bring camera, binoculars, sunscreen/hat, mosquito repellant, light jacket. A portable restroom is available at the dock (not onboard).
Plan 30 minutes (or more depending on traffic) to drive, park, and board the boat. Please check in at the dock at 3:55pm - the boat leaves the dock at 4:15pm sharp.
Take US-41 east to Collier Blvd/State Rd 951. Turn right on 951 toward Marco Island and continue 3 miles to Shell Island Rd. Do not turn into Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Turn right onto Shell Island Road (just before Fiddler's Creek), continue 2.5 miles on Shell Island Rd. A Good Fortune II sign points to a grassy parking area (on the right). Park on the grass. A Good Fortune II crew member will have you sign documents before heading to the boat. Follow the path to the dock.
