A boat cruise and tour business born in Naples and inspired by endless sunshine, Island Vibe Cruises — formerly Naples Boat and Party Cruises, LLC — is celebrating that they are now launching from The Fish House in Bonita Springs, Florida.

Island Vibe Cruises, features the 30′ Party Pontoon, Captain Romance and our private 25 Bennington Tritoon pontoon, new experiences, and a beautiful second launch location in Bonita Springs, Florida. Our other company, Naples Tiki Fun Tours, earned us the TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Award 5 years in a row. We are excited to bring you new adventures in SWFL.

It all began when Captains Melissa and John Paul Wilinski started offering private adventure tours aboard their trusty 25-foot pontoon, sharing hidden mangroves, island beaches, and dolphin encounters with guests who quickly became friends. Their love for life on the water — and knack for creating unforgettable memories as Two Happy Captains— soon caught on.

Before long, they joined the Cruisin’ Tiki franchise, bringing the original hexagon-shaped tiki boats to Naples and Bonita Springs. Their fun, laid-back style and island hospitality earned them loyal fans — and Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards five years in a row. But the tides were calling for something even more.
