#1 Sailing Charter on Fort Myers Beach. Locally Owned & Operated Since 2009!
Ahoy! Captain Dan & Dianne invite you aboard their beautiful, modern, and clean sailing vessel Orion’s Child to sail the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico offshore of Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island. You’ll feel the wind pull the sails as tropical waters flow past our keel as we search for dolphins, sea turtles, and other wildlife. Feel the true romance of authentic sailing aboard a monohull sailboat. Nothing else compares!

We are located at: Salty Sam’s Marina 2500 Main St., Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931. Click Here. Please pull into the first entrance and park in either marked spots or in grassy areas in front of Shrimp Dock Restaurant (under construction). The marina is an active construction zone due to Hurricane Ian. Please use caution walking. Click here to see our “Location” page for images and guidance.
We are located at slip A-9. Walk past the damaged concrete docks stacked on shore along fence line and look for sidewalk leading to (A) dock.
What makes us different from other charter operators?
We do this full time and this is our livelihood year round. Many other operators are seasonal, retired, or owners just trying to pay for their personal expenses of owning a boat. Our vessel is documented and registered under our business’s LLC and used solely for business operation. Many have paid Captains who do not have the same expectations of quality that us as owner/operators have. We take your satisfaction personally.
