A great tour that gives you the layout of Marco Island. It was nice to have shade while on the boat as you will still get sun from the reflection from the water. We saw tons of dolphins and it was a smooth ride!

Captain Rick was great! It was just my husband and I, and Rick gave some great information and customized the tour for us. A very nice low key boat ride was just what we needed. Also make sure to stop at one of the restaurants on the water in Goodland. Great little town!

Great way to spend an afternoon! Four of us, Captain Gary was terrific, gave us history of the area and really knew his way around the coastline. Super stories to share.

We ended up being the only 2 on the trip but Captain Rick was happy to take us out and show us all around. He was informative, sharing plenty of personal and professional stories of his many years of adventure on the waters. He spotted plenty of dolphin for us and we even caught a stingray jump out of the water! Very special trip!

Terrific trip with Captain Rick. We saw several dolphin and had them following the boat for an extended time. Captain Rick has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Marco and was very engaging. The views of the houses and the adjacent nature preserves from the water are amazing. Thoroughly enjoyable trip!!!
