Keewaydin Island beach shuttle from Naples: All gear included

Everything you need for the beach comes with you on the boat.

A 4.5-hour boat tour from Naples to Keewaydin Island, a boat-access-only beach on Southwest Florida's coast, with all beach gear provided: chairs with canopies, towels, umbrella, cooler, water, snacks and games. You pick between Secret Beach for a quieter day or main Keewaydin Beach for a livelier atmosphere, and the captain brings you back when the day is done. Maximum group size is six guests.

The experience

The boat leaves from Naples marina with complimentary parking steps away. Your scenic cruise winds through Naples Bay and mangrove waterways on the way to Keewaydin Island, and the route is built for wildlife spotting: dolphins, manatees and coastal birds show up regularly along the way. The journey itself is part of the experience, not just the ferry ride to get there.

Once you arrive, you choose which side of Keewaydin suits your mood. Secret Beach is the quieter option: fewer crowds, better for shelling and swimming without the weekend boat traffic. Main Keewaydin Beach is livelier, especially on weekends, and draws local boaters and a more social crowd. Both are the same island. The difference is atmosphere. Your captain will drop you at whichever one you pick.

Every guest gets a beach chair with a canopy, beach towel, souvenir shell bag for collecting, and your group shares an umbrella, cooler, beach games, bucket and shovel for kids. Complimentary water, soda and a snack are included. You spend the afternoon swimming, walking the shoreline, searching for shells or just sitting under the canopy: whatever a beach day means to you. When it's time to leave, the captain picks you up for the return cruise back to the marina.

What's the boat ride like from Naples to Keewaydin Island?

The scenic cruise takes you through Naples Bay and mangrove-lined waterways, and it's designed as a wildlife-watching route: dolphins and manatees appear regularly. The ride is relaxing, not rushed, and it sets up the beach day instead of just getting you there.

Can I choose which beach on Keewaydin I want to visit?

Yes. Secret Beach is quieter and better for shelling and swimming away from crowds. Main Keewaydin Beach is livelier, especially weekends, and popular with local boaters. You decide which one fits your mood when you book or on the day itself.

What beach gear do I need to bring myself?

Bring sunscreen and bug spray, plus anything personal you want for the island. Everything else (chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, water, snacks and games) comes with the tour. Children's buckets and shovels are provided too.

How many people go on this tour?

Groups stay at a maximum of six guests, so it's small and manageable. The boat is intimate enough that you're not surrounded by crowds, but you're not alone either.
