The Easy Way Around
See Naples by water
Downtown Naples is gorgeous — and a nightmare to park in. So don't. The Naples Bay Water Shuttle turns getting around into the best part of your day: park once, grab a $20 all-day pass, and let the Blue Pelican ferry you between the bay's best restaurants, shops and beaches on a breezy, scenic loop.
It's a true hop-on, hop-off service. Step off for oysters at Syren, cocktails at the Bayfront bars, a bayfront bite at Naples Bay Resort, or dinner at The Boathouse on Naples Bay — then hop back on when the boat swings around (about every hour) and keep exploring. No traffic, no valet, no designated driver. Dolphins included, free of charge.
- $20 per person — unlimited all-day rides
- 8 waterfront landings around the bay
- Park once, ride all day
- Scenic, breezy & dolphin-friendly
