"We're Back!"

Hello everyone and welcome to our blog! It has been a long time since I have been able to access my blog and this is a test, more or less! You can expect more from me over the coming months and I believe it will be very educational and fun for our friends and families here at Chubby's Tropical Adventures! 

For now, I have posted some random pics, however, stay tuned for a more interesting format as we go into the new season. We will include more about shelling, wildlife, fun and adventure on the water around the islands of Ft. Myers Beach and Sanibel.

It has been a wonderful year for us here at Chubby's. What a ride! Fishing, dolphin tours, sunset charters, trips to Cabbage Key, shelling adventures, swimming in crystal clear water and sunshine galore. It's gonna get better and better so come along and enjoy the fun! 

This year, in addition to our Private Charters, we have instituted a $50 per person, two hour dolphin or two hour sunset/dolphin tour to accommodate those who are looking for a small group experience but not a private charter. We only take a maximum of 6 people so you can always expect personal service and attention on our cruise. You will share the boat with others but that's not a bad thing.  here is a 2 person minimum for us to cruise for this price (and 6 person maximum).

Just to keep you up to speed, summer time brings afternoon  and evening rain and storms. This limits our ability to provide safe and comfortable cruises at times so we monitor the weather and adjust our cruises as necessary. Your safety is my number one concern! If we can leave the dock we will but I will not hesitate to return to the dock to protect you! We will adjust (prorate) our fee to compensate for an early return. Certainly our goal is to make memories of the "good" kind for you and your family and friends and will do everything in our powers to make sure your experience is the best!

If you work in the hospitality field here on Ft. Myers Beach (and I know who you ARRRRR!), we will be offering "Hospitality Prices" for groups of six during August and September. So get a group together and give me a call I will make it easy on you to go out on a two hour cruise!

Aloha everyone!

August 18, 2013 "Time Flies When You're Having Fun!"

Here it is August 18, 2013 and it suddenly dawned on me I have been negligent in doing a new blog! Holy Cow! I am usually much better at sharing Chubby's Dolphin Tales, however, this month has just slipped away, almost into oblivion!

I would like to take an opportunity to thank all the folks who have made August the best month since we began Chubby's Tropical Adventure a few months back. I was actually thinking August would be a wash and yet here we are with such good trips and great customers. 

From fishing charters, sunset tours, shelling cruises and of course the great DOLPHIN TOURS we have filled our month and enjoyed our days.

I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to make my living doing what I love to do and that is be on the water with my friends the animals and the people who want to come and experience the nature of our area.

Although the water has been quiet messed up from the fresh water discharge from Lake Okeechobee we still are doing quite well with fishing, even though we have to move around and find them a lot. It's still a doable thing and we are having fun.

The dolphins have been wonderful and we never go out without being entertained by those beautiful creatures. I know if nothing else these guys will give us thrills and joy as we watch them jumping in the wake and enjoying our company!

I feel a little guilty because I whizzed by the Fish Tale Marina tour boat "Estero Bay Express" and got a nice pod to jump in our wake but I confess it was not on purpose. I was watching the boat along the mangroves and hoping to see the dolphins and share them with my customers when all of a sudden I saw them in the main channel and then I could not help but make them a part of the show. Captain Bob I believe was piloting the boat and he pulled up right along side of Chubby's and gave his folks a view of what these creatures do best. Captain Bob, I would not do that on purpose but I can't slight the boys and girls of the pod when they so much want to jump so forgive me this time!

By the way if you want to rent a great pontoon boat or a power boat you must check out Fish Tale Marina the next time you are in our area.  They have the best selection! 

Anyway, this month is passing us by so don't wait too long to book your Dolphin, Shelling, Sunset or Fishing Charter with www.chubbystropicaladventures.com. We can always be reached at 239-233-6639 or at chubby@chubbystropicaladventures.com!
