"Sundance" 42' Yacht charters the Gulf of Mexico

I have known Captain David Richardson for over 8 years. He used to anchor his 42' yacht on the back bay not far from our home.His wife would walk our street in Fort Myers Beach to work with her cool mutt Rusty and my wife and her would exchange island news and talk about her dog as he is 15 years old.

What he really loves is sailing.He charters his yacht year long. This is Florida chartering at its best.It is his passion.He makes Fort Myers Beach sailing a smooth and laid back adventure. There is no rush with Captain David Richardson.

We chartered his yacht a few times for a day with some friends and it was a treat.We took off towards Sanibel and Pine Island Sounds and the other time we went to Bonita Springs and Naples.Captain David has over thirty-one thousand miles of sailing experience so we felt secured on this his yacht.It was something else to view the Big Carlos Pass on the South End of the island of Fort Myers Beach and then Lovers Key.The second time we did see some manatees and one dolphin.That was a high point.He let us take the helm a few times and the whole experience was laid back as if the time stood still.There is nothing like Fort Myers Beach sailing and the Gulf Of Mexico.

These days the "Sundance" is docked near the Snug Harbor restaurant at 645 Old San Carlos. His rates are surprisingly affordable and if you want to enjoy the different "moods" of the Gulf Of Mexico as he calls it, I recommend the experience. I think its one of the best deals around.

Half day-4 hours $40.00 per person

Full Day-8 hours $80.00 per person

Sunset cruise $40.00 per person

Children under 12 Free - Overnight and Week Charters By arrangement - He also does Yacht deliveries

Reservations and Information, call The Yacht: (239) 565-5690

I cannot wait to experience another adventure and enjoy sailing again. Captain David Richardson is an intrinsic part of Fort Myers Beach Chartering business.Next time you are in our Island, take a spin around Snug harbor restaurant and check the "Sundance".

Hey Lloyd,

Great Post, Those rates seem quite cheap. How does he make any money at those rates?

Thank you Sean. That is a good question. He told me that he pays over $10,000/ year in parts alone for his yacht. They also own another business with his wife. I agree with you that the rates are low.. On top of this he is not your run of the mill captain.
