The ‘ODIN’ is a New Zealand designed, American built, 25-foot, 23-person plus 1 driver jet boat featuring lightweight all-aluminum construction, and two massive GM Vortec V8 engines. The highly sophisticated design, engineered for speed and agility, allows the ODIN to travel at speeds in excess of 50 MPH and perform some very exciting maneuvers! However, the vessel will not travel in excess of 39 MPH due to U.S. Coast Guard regulations.

Naples Wildlife: The Manatee

Posted on June 13, 2012 by CruiseNaples
Buffer

Naples Wildlife: The Manatee

Of all the wildlife you might see aboard your Double Sunshine cruise, the manatee is perhaps the most unique. Let’s take a moment and look deeper into

Naples Wildlife: The Manatee

Naples Wildlife: The Manatee

the life and love of what many call “Cutest Mammal” in Southwest Florida.

The Basics

The manatee or “Sea Cow”, can grow to over 9 feet in length and weigh up to 1200 pounds! The manatee are great swimmers that can reach speeds up to 19 mph for short distances and spend a predominate amount of time under water, only coming up for air every 20 minutes. It is believed that the manatee evolved from a four-legged land mammal over 60 million years ago. It’s closest living relative today is the Elephant.

Habitat

Water temperature is the most important aspect of the habitat forthe manatee. Due to it’s physiology, the manatee cannot survive in water temperatures that are less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, which is why manatees so prefer the shallower rivers that surround power plants and warm spring-fed rivers. The water they tend to favor is usually brackish and while they must swim in salt water, they can easily move between waters that have different levels of salinity.

Diet

Manatees are considered herbivores due to their diet which consists of more than

manatee eating

A manatee eating lettuce

60 different plant species, including mangrove leaves and turtle grass. However, they have been known to show some elements of carnivorous traits in their eating behaviors because manatees have been observed eating small fish

from nets. It should be noted that this behavior has not been noted in all manatees and does not take into account primary food source availability or nearness to starvation.

Mating and Life Span

Manatees are typically solitary creatures except when raising young, they mate for reproduction purposes and then move on. The female manatee will breed once every two years with a gestation period of about 18 months and only have one calf at a time. Calves are generally about 120 cm long and weigh about 66 pounds and will stay with their mothers for between one and two years depending on it’s rate of maturity. The manatee can live up to 60 years and it is believed that the oldest Manatee currently lives in captivity Snooty lives at the South Florida Museum and he was born in July 1948 making him 64 years old!

Manatee Mom and Calf

Conservation

Sadly, the West Indian Manatee is an endangered species. While sharks and alligators have been known to attack manatees, their two largest hazards are red tide and man.

From Wikipedia: “In 1996, a red tide was responsible for 151 manatee deaths. The epidemic began on March 5 and continued through April 28, wiping out approximately 15% of the known population of manatees along South Florida’s western coast. In 1982, another outbreak resulted in 37 deaths, in 2005, 44 more deaths were attributed to the blooms. “

While red tide hazards to manatees is important to note, red tide doesn’t come close to doing as much damage to the manatee population as man has. Some of the more subtle negative ways that man affects manatee life negatively is through destruction of manatee habitat and with it’s waste. Manatees have been known to ingest fishing gear including hooks, weights and mono-filament string which get’s caught in the digestive system of the manatee and slowly kills it.

The number one most damaging thing to manatee survival is boat strikes. Again from Wikipedia, “In the absence of any new management action, that is, if boat mortality rates continue to increase at the rates observed since 1992, the situation in the Atlantic and Southwest regions is dire, with no chance of meeting recovery criteria within 100 years.”

This is just one of the reasons Pure Naples takes it’s adherence to all speed and wake laws very seriously in Naples Bay.

So the next time you come out, if you’re in luck, look towards the bridge and you just might see a manatee or two enjoying the warm waters and sunshine that falls on Naples Bay.

Oh, The Animals You’ll See On Your M/V Double Sunshine Cruise: The American Bald Eagle

Posted on April 27, 2012 by CruiseNaples
Buffer

Of the many species of animal that can be found on your hour and a half tour of Naples Bay perhaps the most formidable and majestic is the American Bald Eagle.

Bald Eagle in Naples

Bald Eagle in Naples

In order to give you a better picture of these beautiful birds of prey we offer some facts about the Bald Eagle’s habitat, prey, and mating rituals.

Habitat

Bald Eagle Nest NaplesWhile a great many birds of prey tend to prefer mountainous regions of the country, the Bald Eagle is considered a sea eagle due to its frequent nesting in and around large bodies of water. The adult Bald Eagle will nest in large stands of coniferous and hardwood trees around bodies of water that are larger than seven miles across, this gives them a better perspective to view the terrain and prospective prey. Naples Bay, with its proximity to the Gulf Coast, offers all of the above for the Bald Eagle, large trees in which to roost and nest, easy access to prey and wide open spaces in which to hunt. While it is believed that the Bald Eagle avoids areas where there are an abundance of humans, this does appear to be somewhat of a generality since they can be seen perching on high rooftops of buildings and hunting in yards located near the water’s edge.

Prey

bald eagle hunting naplesWhile it was noted above that the Bald Eagle lives close to the coast to ensure that it has an abundance of food available, there are times when the primary diet of fish is not plentiful enough to sustain life. In these times, the Bald Eagle will eat other mammals, like rabbits, hares, raccoons, muskrats, beaver, and even deer fawns before they grow too large. The Bald Eagle has also been found to be an opportunistic eater, feeding in garbage dumps and on carrion that can be as large as a whale.

The preferred method of catching their prey is to soar high above the water until it
finds the right prey. It will then swoop down, clutch the prey in its claws and carry
it to a place where it can eat undisturbed using one claw to pin its prey down and
another to tear it into pieces it can eat.

Mating and Life Span

When the Bald Eagle reaches maturity, usually between the ages of four or five, it will return to the place of its birth in order to find its mate for life. However, if a Bald Eagle is widowed, it will seek out a new mate. The mating habits of the Bald Eagle are nothing less than stunning.   Usually the male will try to catch the eye of its prospective mate through a series of amazing acrobatic maneuvers. If he is successful in gaining her favor, the two will lock talons and begin a spiral down toward the earth breaking apart at the last minute.

The Bald Eagle’s nest is the biggest of all nesting birds as it can be up to four meters in circumference. The female Bald Eagle will lay up to three eggs in a year although rarely do all three hatch.

The American Bald Eagle has an average life span of twenty years with the oldest living to near 30 years. It should be noted that in captivity the eagle has been known to live up to 50 years with medical care, a consistent food supply, and no predatory activity.

A Bald Eagle sighting aboard the M/V Double Sunshine is enough to get all the passengers on their feet and running to the rails, so the next time you are out be sure to keep a keen eye on the tree tops and you just might see the living embodiment of the American Spirit. The American Bald Eagle.

The New Jet Skis Have Arrived!

Posted on April 5, 2012 by CruiseNaples
Buffer

Get ready for fun on the water - we’ve just added six new, red Jet Skis (to match the jet boat ODIN of course!) to our fleet!

cruise naples jet skisThe new Jet Skis are all 2012 Yamaha VX Deluxe models with inboard engines, driving a water pump jet that creates a thrust for propulsion and steering. According to the manufacturer, the Jet Skis offer “a generous re-boarding step and the largest stern area in its class, climbing aboard is now easier than ever.” Plus, these new 2012 models have “highly-comfortable precision-stitched three-person saddle sits atop a stunning all-new metallic deck.”

Since they don’t have external propellers, they are safer for swimmers and wildlife. Safety for the rider is also important. We require each rider to where a U.S. Coast Guard approved flotation device and also give instructions on how to safely operate the Jet Ski, ensuring a fun and safe exploration of the waterways.

For more Jet Ski safety resources, visit SafetyResource.org.

Individuals or groups can rent the Jet Skis and take them out on their own through Naples’ inner coastal and northern 10,000 islands or participate in a Cruise Naples guided adventure tour. You can enjoy quiet time on a beach, gathering beautiful shells or if lucky enough, experience a one-to-one encounter with a dolphin!

Introducing Spring Fishing!

Posted on March 15, 2012 by CruiseNaples
Buffer

At Cruise Naples / Fish Naples, we’re welcoming the warmer waters as we near spring. April 1st may be April Fool’s Day but for us on the Gulf, the start of April means one thing – great fishing and that is no joke!

As the water warms up and the baitfish make their comeback, April brings promises of great fishing to the Gulf Coast. From practically baby gator-sized Grouper, to other fantastic fish, there’s nowhere else you would want to cast your line other than the Gulf Coast.

So, since the season for fishing is right around the corner, let’s start planning what to go after! The popular fish – Grouper, Snapper, Cobia, Spanish & King Mackerel, Pompano, Sheep Head, Red Fish and Shark – yes, you can catch Tarpon and Snook, but sadly they have to go back.

With the winter cold fronts behind us, we can finally look forward to the return of some of our favorite species. April marks the beginning of grouper season and the return of great catches like trout.

Grouper

On reefs and mounds you’ll find plenty of snapper and grouper. They prefer to stay around older, more established reefs. Spanish Mackerel and Cobia are other species making their way to the Gulf during this time as well.

Other Species to Look For

In addition to the staple fish like Tarpon and Snook, there are many others to look for while out fishing in the springtime. White Snapper, Grey Snapper, Triggerfish, and Redfish will move closer in to shore as the water temperature rise. This will cut down the run time for charter boats.

If the water continues to warm-up through April, the fish will move even closer to the coast. This includes the big migration of King Mackerel as they follow the bait into that more shallow water.

If you’re ready to get fishing, contact Cruise Naples today. Our skilled captains know where all the sweet spots are so you’re sure to get the catch you’re looking for. We offer calm bay, deep sea and charter fishing for all your angling needs.

To book your next deep-sea, calm bay, private or head fishing trip or to make reservations on the LADY BRETT, NAPLES EXPLORER, KUDU or KUDU II, call us at 239-263-4949 today. We look forward to seeing you!

P.S. Stay tuned for more fishing details and mark your calendar for June 1 when the infamous red snapper season kicks off!

Jet Boat Naples: The History, Significance and Representation of the Silver Fern

Posted on March 8, 2012 by CruiseNaples
Buffer

Cruise Naples’ new jet boat, ODIN, has brought eco-thrill and excitement from New Zealand to Southwest Florida. The launch of Jet Boat Naples and ODIN might be an unfamiliar concept to North American eco-thrill seekers but to native New Zealanders, or “Kiwis,” jet boating is exceptionally popular and sought after by local and international tourists alike.

When looking at ODIN, the striking red paint is hard to miss, however the silver fern located towards the stern might create some wonder as to its significance. This is New Zealand’s silver fern and it represents pride and passion.

Background

Father and son, business partners and owners of Cruise Naples, Captains Lance and Harry Julian are originally from New Zealand. As Kiwis, the addition of Jet Boat Naples to their company was an exciting and familiar concept. They wanted to tie in their passion for jet boating with the pride of their homeland, and placing a silver fern on the side of ODIN provided the perfect representation!

silver fernThe silver fern, named for the silver underside of the frond, also known as ponga, is the national symbol of New Zealand. The fern leaf has been used as a distinguishing badge for New Zealand military formations, particularly during World War II and also to mark the graves of New Zealand servicemen in overseas countries.

Significance

The silver fern is native to New Zealand and according to New Zealand tradition, its fronds represent new life.

For over a century, the symbol of the silver fern has been worn over the heart of all professional New Zealand athletes and is the name of New Zealand’s international netball team. New Zealand’s rugby team and 2012 World Champions, The All Blacks, also display the silver fern on their jerseys.

There is no question that the silver fern is the most recognized symbol of New Zealand. It’s used extensively as a symbol by New Zealand’s government, trade organizations and commercial brands.

jet boat naples odinRepresentation

New Zealand has been described as the “land of ferns.” The silver fern represents the Julians’ homeland, and is revered within the New Zealand culture. It is symbolic of independence, perseverance, autonomy, endurance, defiance in the face of oppression, and resourcefulness. It is an image to which all New Zealanders relate and is a powerful and emotional symbol of inspiration.

Cruise Naples is proud of its newest jet boat, ODIN and wants to share some New Zealand tradition with Southwest Florida! Come and experience some of the Silver Fern tradition.
