Step aboard the Double Sunshine at Tin City and feel the Gulf breeze push the boat away from the quay. The city’s low-slung palms and stucco mansions slip astern as the captain threads the Gordon River into wider water. On a clear morning the sky opens to a wide blue; on warm afternoons the light fractures across the bay in quick, photographic flashes.

Step aboard the Double Sunshine at Tin City and feel the Gulf breeze push the boat away from the quay.

On a clear morning the sky opens to a wide blue; on warm afternoons the light fractures across the bay in quick, photographic flashes.
This 90-minute sightseeing cruise traces Naples’ maritime story — from a small fishing settlement to an early 20th-century beach resort and today’s Port Royal enclave of grand homes. Geology here is simple and direct: a sandy coastline edged by barrier islands and mangrove-framed backwaters that form the western edge of the Ten Thousand Islands. Cultural notes arrive in the captain’s narration: early Cuban fishermen, Victorian-era development on Fifth Avenue, and the seasonal migration of snowbirds who shaped local society.
Expect close-up wildlife moments — dolphins surfing the bow, manatees in shallow flats, shorebirds on tidal flats — and photo runs along Port Royal’s waterfront mansions. The crew maintains a relaxed, accessible pace; passengers move freely around the deck for different viewpoints.
Practical guidance: arrive 20 minutes early to park and board, bring reef-safe sunscreen and a refillable bottle, and secure hats against the wind. Restrooms and snacks are onboard, and the vessel is wheelchair accessible but service animals are restricted. The cruise returns to Tin City where 5th Avenue South restaurants and boutique shopping make for an easy after-ride meal or stroll.
The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes, departing from Tin City and returning to the same dock.
