Great day on the water !! - Captain Elliot made this an interesting and very informative tour. With his extensive knowledge of the area and animals he was able to show us a wide variety of birds and so many dolphins. He had inside knowledge of many dolphins and even recognized many of them. We had a fantastic time seeing the area and found a lot of unique shells. We can’t wait to bring our grand children down to enjoy the tour, and we will definitely be requesting to be on Captain Elliot’s boat, what an interesting young man.

Great for families with kids! - What an amazing morning! Great trip that was just long enough for our kids (2 and 4). Our captains Jess and Marco were kind, knowledgeable and patient. We saw dolphins a manatee and spent about an hour on an island looking for shells (a favorite for our 4 year old). Marco was extremely knowledgeable and we walked away with a ton of knowledge about the islands history and wildlife. Great way to break up our beach and pool days. Highly recommend for families with kids.

Amazing tour! - Absolutely amazing tour! Captain Colleen was incredible—so knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to give us unforgettable views of dolphins and even a sea turtle. We had a great time shelling and Captain Colleen was very helpful at spotting different shells and helping our girls identify them. Truly a magical experience!

💎 - We found the real Disney princess - Captain Colleen! She was such a gift and brought us closer to the environment and wildlife. There were exciting stories and we collected beautiful shells. Absolute highlight: Bubbles of a shellhorn and the dolphins that played with our bow wave.

Arrrr! A great Adventure - Great boat trip! Just long enough (2 hrs) to see dolphins, collect some shells, and see a couple of manatees. Our captains (Marco and Elliott) were very knowledgeable about the area and sea life. Their personal stories were very informative and interesting. Our young kids had a blast. We would book this again on our next trip to Marco Island.

Highly recommend this tour - This tour was a lot of fun! Marco & Elliot were great guides -- lots of interesting info & good laughs. We saw some dolphins within minutes of taking off and they even started swimming in our boat's wake afterwards. Our kids really enjoyed the shelling. Then we were even able to see a couple of manatees before heading back.
