Celebrating Dad's Day in Naples
While buying mom a gift for Mother’s Day is stressful; buying a gift for Father’s Day is even more difficult (in my opinion…). Not only does he never give you any hints or ideas, but he will also always gracefully accept yet another tie that will promptly be hung in a closet or shoved in a drawer never to see the light of day again.
If you been following The Naples Insider for a bit, you know that we always prefer to give experience ideas versus gift ideas because really…who NEEDS more stuff?
Without further ado, here are some experiences catered to different types of dads that will leave him feeling appreciated and thankful for one less tie.
If your dad likes the outdoors…
With the Gulf of Mexico in Naples’ backyard, a day on the water is an obvious option! The options are endless, but here are our top 3 recommendations!
A Fishing Charter: This is an experience that keeps on giving! Not only do you get to spend a day on the water being expertly guided to Naples’ best fishing spots, but you also get to go home with your catch filleted and ready to cook!
A Boat Rental: If fishing isn’t your dad’s thing, but boats are, a rental is a great option! You can spend the day speeding around Naples and Marco Island, or you can park the boat at Keewaydin Island where you can grill out for lunch, play games, and work on your tan.
A Kayak Tour: If your dad is on the more adventurous side, you can rent kayaks and take a tour through the Everglades or, pack some poles and fish from them!
If your dad likes to eat and drink…
It’s mostly unknown that Naples has some AMAZING breweries. Our favorites are Ankrolab Brewing, Riptide Brewing Company, and Naples Beach Brewery. If you opt for Ankrolab Brewing, you can also visit Naples waterfront bar and food truck park, Celebration Park. From seafood to BBQ, there are plenty of options to make everyone happy!
If you still need a gift…
If your dad does like gifts, we have a recommendation that is both practical and unique! M Room is a barbershop that offers annual memberships that allow men to get their hair cut/trimmed as often as the like while enjoying a cold beer and catching up on the day’s sports! Matt has been a member for nearly one year and loves the ability to pop for a quick touchup on his way to or from appointments. While you do not have to be a member to make an appointment, memberships allow you to skip ahead of nonmembers for appointments and offer discounts on all services and products.
Cheers!
