Hemingway’s shuttle holds 34 passengers, at $44 for an adult, but it runs from Rose Marina on Marco Island to Keewaydin. It is not a Naples Bay sunset cruise. | The private boats in this table cap at 6. A larger group is two boats, or a yacht day quoted on the yacht page. A captain on your own boat with Naples Boat Charters is $120 an hour. |

Propose on a sunset cruise or a sandbar
A sunset cruise or a stop on a sandbar is a straightforward place to ask someone to marry you. Put that in the form with the date, how many people will be on the boat, and whether you want a shared sunset, a private sunset, or a sandbar. Gulf Breeze publishes the sunset at $100 a person or $550 for a private boat of up to 6. A sandbar-only price is not on these rate cards, so the captain's quote is the number. This form is a boat quote. It is not a wedding package, a photographer, or a decorated beach.
