Naples Princess Cruises
Naples' classic 105-foot sunset yacht, sailing daily from Port-O-Call Marina by Tin City for dinner, lunch, hors d'oeuvres and sightseeing cruises out toward the Gulf.
Updated June 2026
If there's one boat that has come to define a Naples evening on the water, it's the Naples Princess. The 105-foot yacht has been carrying visitors out into the sunset for decades, and a sunset dinner aboard her is one of those easy, unhurried Naples experiences that almost everyone leaves happy about.
She's the most polished way to see the coast from the water: three decks, two full-service bars, air-conditioned salons and an open sun deck, with a narrated loop through Naples Bay, the mansions of Port Royal and out toward the Gulf. Pair it with a stroll through Tin City right next door, and read our broader dolphin & sunset cruises guide if you want to compare her against the smaller, livelier boats.

Common questions
Where does the Naples Princess depart from?
She sails from Port-O-Call Marina at 550 Port-O-Call Way in downtown Naples, directly next to the Tin City marketplace. Free parking is available in front of the marina office and in the lot just to the east, and boarding usually begins about 30 minutes before departure.
How long is a Naples Princess cruise?
It depends on the cruise. The afternoon sightseeing and SeaBreeze lunch cruises run about 90 minutes, while the sunset dinner, sunset hors d'oeuvres and sunset sightseeing cruises run closer to two hours. Departure times shift with the season's sunset, so check the operator's calendar.
What's the difference between the dinner cruise and the other sunset cruises?
The Sunset Dinner Cruise includes a full buffet dinner cooked fresh on board and is the priciest, most popular option. The 'More Than Hors d'oeuvres' cruise swaps the meal for nightly appetizers at a lower fare, and the Sunset Sightseeing cruise has no included food at all, just the views, narration and bar service.
How much does a Naples Princess cruise cost?
Fares are tiered, highest for the dinner cruise and lower for the hors d'oeuvres and sightseeing options, with reduced pricing for children 3 to 11 and free (but ticketed) toddlers. Posted prices exclude port charge, service charge and tax, so confirm the current total directly with Naples Princess Cruises when you book.
Do I need a reservation, and what should I wear?
Reservations are strongly recommended because cruises often sell out, especially in season; book online or by phone in advance rather than walking up. Dress is casual and shoes or sandals are required. The boat sails rain or shine thanks to its enclosed, air-conditioned salons.
Will I see dolphins and a sunset?
Often, yes. The cruise loops through Naples Bay, Port Royal and toward the Gulf, where dolphins, pelicans and wading birds are common sightings, though wildlife is never guaranteed. Because Naples faces west onto the Gulf, the sunset cruises are built around watching the sun drop over the open water.
