We Went last year while in Ft. Myers and it was so amazing that this year we drove two hours from St. Pete Beach just to hang out with Dan and Diane. The most friendly owners! A very beautiful sailing adventure!

Absolutely perfect. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The sailboat is beautiful and the scenery engaging. We hit the trifecta, seeing dolphins, a shark, and just before heading back in, a large sea turtle. This turned into a romantic afternoon in a perfect sea breeze.

Excellent experience and Captain Dan and Dianne looked after us very well. Most relaxing sailing time. Dolphins, turtles and a jumping ray. What more do you need? Will definitely recommend and look forward to booking another trip when we return to Fort Myers.. perfect day. Thank you.

We have sailed with Dan and Diane many times over the last 15 years and the trip never disappoints. We typically do the sunset trip which is amazing and relaxing. We often see dolphins and other wildlife. We highly recommend them to all of our friends and family.

Had an amazing night on Orion's Child! There's nothing like being on the water, and Capt. Dan and first mate Diane gave us a perfect experience. We couldn't ask for a better night - gentle wind and waves as we dangled our legs over the side as we sailed off into the sunset. Highlight of our trip to Ft. Meyers!

Had another great sail with Captain Dan and Diane. Perfect weather and an awesome sunset. They are great hosts and we will definitely go again...and again.

We have been sailing with Capt. Dan & Diane Mendat since they started Magic Winds Sailing. It is our top attraction in Fort Myers. We go out with them once or twice a year. I’m not sure which we enjoy the most - the sailing or visiting with them! They are delightful!

My sister and I had the best time on this sail! Captain Dan and Diane are perfect hosts and so knowledgeable about the area and sea life. The boat is stunning and immaculately maintained. I will be booking again.

Had the most wonderful evening with friends and our daughter, surprising my husband with a Sunset Sail for his 76th birthday! Dan and Diane were delightful hosts and our experience was most memorable despite the clouds preventing a colorful sunset! Ready to go again in a heartbeat!

Husband and wife business. VERY friendly. Bucket list item for me to sail in the Gulf! Small pod of dolphins, two of which swam close to the boat. Highly recommend!
