If your idea of the perfect getaway includes turquoise waters, sugar-soft beaches, and a private yacht with a dedicated captain, Pelican Bay belongs at the top of your travel list. Nestled on the protected side of Cayo Costa State Park, this serene anchorage is one of Southwest Florida’s best-kept secrets—and one of our most treasured sites at Bluewater Escapes.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family retreat, or a relaxing group adventure, our private captain charters to Pelican Bay offer a luxurious, all-inclusive way to experience nature at its finest—without lifting a finger.


Why Choose Pelican Bay?

Far from the bustle of busy marinas and commercial ports, Pelican Bay is a tranquil haven accessible only by boat. The bay is ringed by mangrove shorelines and bordered by the untouched beauty of Cayo Costa Island, offering a front-row seat to Florida’s wild coastal charm.

Your captain will guide the yacht into the calm anchorage, dropping anchor in waters known for their excellent holding and protection from the elements. From there, your only task is to relax.

What Makes It Special:

  • Pristine nature reserve — no crowds, no condos, just you and the sea

  • Frequent dolphin and manatee sightings

  • Sunset views that rival any Caribbean destination


The Bluewater Escapes Experience

Our captain-led charters are designed for total comfort and ease. From the moment you step aboard, every detail is handled—navigation, anchoring, provisioning, even drinks and meals if desired.

At Pelican Bay, your captain will:

  • Choose the ideal anchoring spot for comfort and views

  • Arrange sunset cocktails or dinner on deck—just ask!

Whether you're sipping champagne on the bow or lounging under the stars, our team ensures every moment is effortless.


Evenings Under the Stars

When night falls, Pelican Bay comes alive in a different way. As the sun sets over the Gulf, the sky erupts in color, and the harbor fills with soft anchor lights.

Let us prepare a cozy evening under the stars with blankets, music, and your favorite nightcap. With no light pollution, the stargazing is unforgettable—and the peace is unmatched.


Your Private Charter Awaits

At Bluewater Escapes, we believe that luxury and nature should go hand in hand. Our charters to Pelican Bay combine five-star service with raw, coastal beauty—perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, couples getaways, or simply hitting pause on everyday life.
