Cruises and Events

 Step into a warm Gulf Coast evening and let the day melt away aboard “On the Sight Sea-R”—a sunset cruise that feels less like a tour and more like a floating celebration of everything that makes Southwest Florida special.

As you arrive at Salty Sam’s Marina on Fort Myers Beach, the energy is easy and inviting. You board a spacious, stable catamaran designed for comfort and connection—plenty of room to stretch out, mingle, or simply claim your own perfect sunset-viewing spot.

Once underway, the vibe shifts to pure relaxation. The breeze off the Gulf carries that unmistakable salt-air calm while the shoreline slowly drifts by. Waterways, channels, and open Gulf waters unfold as your captain expertly navigates to the evening’s best vantage points—always chasing that perfect horizon.

Then comes the magic.

The sky begins its transformation—soft golds, fiery oranges, and deepening pinks reflecting across the water. The coastline glows, silhouettes sharpen, and for a few unforgettable moments, everything feels suspended in time. It’s the kind of sunset you don’t just see—you experience.

Meanwhile, your personal bartender keeps things flowing with a selection of beer, wine, seltzers, and canned cocktails. Whether you’re toasting with friends, enjoying a quiet moment as a couple, or simply soaking it all in solo, the atmosphere is effortlessly social yet never crowded.

And comfort is never an afterthought. 

The boat is fully wheelchair accessible and equipped with an onboard restroom, so everyone can enjoy the cruise with ease from start to finish.

By the time you glide back into the marina, the sky has faded into twilight—but the feeling lingers: relaxed, refreshed, and just a little more connected to the beauty of Fort Myers Beach.

“On the Sight Sea-R” isn’t just a sunset cruise—it’s your front-row seat to the best hour of the day on the Gulf.

The “Flavors of Portugal & Spain” river cruise by AmaWaterways is a 7-night journey along the scenic Douro River, sailing October 2, 2027 aboard a ship such as the AmaVida. Beginning in Porto, this itinerary immerses you in one of Europe’s most picturesque wine regions, where steep terraced vineyards line the riverbanks and centuries-old villages preserve Portuguese culture and cuisine. Guests experience a blend of relaxed luxury onboard—fine dining, regional wines, and panoramic views—paired with curated shore excursions that highlight the flavors, history, and traditions of northern Portugal and western Spain. 

As the ship winds inland, the journey becomes increasingly intimate and immersive. Stops in towns like Peso da Régua and Pinhão introduce you to the heart of port wine country, with tastings at historic quintas and opportunities to explore baroque architecture, hilltop sanctuaries, and vineyard estates. Excursions also venture into Spain, including visits to medieval villages such as Castelo Rodrigo (near the Spanish border), offering sweeping views and a glimpse into Iberian history. The cruise emphasizes culinary discovery—regional dishes, wine pairings, and local traditions—making it as much a gastronomic journey as a scenic one. 

The voyage concludes near Vega de Terrón, the gateway to Salamanca, where guests can explore golden sandstone architecture and one of Europe’s oldest universities. Throughout the week, the rhythm of the Douro—quiet mornings, vineyard-lined afternoons, and elegant evenings onboard—creates a relaxed yet enriching travel experience. Whether you’re drawn by wine, culture, or scenery, this cruise delivers a well-balanced blend of all three in a compact, memorable itinerary. 

• Day 1: Embark in Porto (Oporto), Portugal 
• Day 2: Entre-os-Rios village experience and scenic cruising 
• Day 3: Régua with excursion to Casa de Mateus and Lamego 
• Day 4: Pinhão with vineyard (quinta) wine tasting 
• Day 5: Barca d’Alva with excursion to Castelo Rodrigo 
• Day 6: Vega de Terrón (gateway to Salamanca, Spain) 
• Day 7: Return cruising through the Douro Valley (often via Pinhão/Régua) 
• Day 8: Disembark in Vega de Terrón (or Porto on reverse sailings)

Ama Waterways offers an extended cruise-and-land program that enhances the journey with immersive stays before and after the river cruise. The most popular option includes 3 nights in Lisbon (pre-cruise) and 3 nights in Madrid (post-cruise), creating a 13–14 day overall experience. 

• Pre-Cruise (Lisbon – 3 nights): Hotel stay with guided city tour, visits to highlights such as Belém and a full-day excursion to Sintra (including Pena Palace), plus cultural experiences like Fado music; transfers to the ship are included.  
• Post-Cruise (Madrid – 3 nights): Hotel stay with guided tours of Madrid and often a visit to Toledo, along with free time to explore museums, plazas, and Spanish cuisine.  

These land packages include hotel accommodations, daily breakfast, guided excursions, and transfers between hotel and ship, offering a seamless way to expand the cruise into a deeper exploration of Portugal and Spain.
