Cape Coral Sunset Cruise 

Unforgettable sunsets are one of the premier amenities of living in Southwest Florida. 

People line up just about every evening at some of the local sunset hot-spots to relax and take in the magnificence and unique beauty of this celestial event.  On Fort Myers Beach you'll find laid back crowds claiming space on the pier as live music from the Beach Pierside Grill sets the tone for the festivities.  On Captiva, the destination is always the beach in front of the Mucky Duck with pints of Guinness and clusters of like-minded individuals who love to applaud the successful completion of, yet, another regularly scheduled natural rhythm.  Cape Coral has its own well-organized "Sunset Celebration on the Pier" down at the Yacht Club Basin on the first Wednesday of every month.  There you'll find musicians, food, and craft vendors.

But, there's something about seeing a sunset from the water which adds a whole new dimension of appreciation to this daily occurrence.  Did you know there's a sunset cruise you can board without ever having to leave the Cape?

Hofish from Matlacha Pass 

Hogfish (also called Hog Snapper) is a well-kept secret, the "Cadillac" of the local fresh-fish scene, a true South-Florida delicacy.  It is considered by many serious seafood aficionados to be one of the tastiest of all reef fish. 

Hogfish is highly-prized for its firm, alabaster flesh which flakes apart nicely.  The flavor is mild with subtle sweet undertones.  Although many purists would maintain it should only be prepared pan-seared with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, Hogfish is a very versatile fish and works well baked, grilled, marinated, or smothered in a tasty sauce.
