Highlights
  • Marco Island - Our guests arrive 30 minutes before their trip so we can provide detailed instruction on how to drive the boat and how to follow the guide on an amazing adventure. We go in small groups of 8 people or less for a personal first class experience. We cruise around at slower speed to explore the beautiful mangroves, look for elegant dolphin and manatee in the wild, beautiful birds and some of the most scenic views in the backwater of the famous 10,000 Islands. Then we get up to full speed (30 mph) on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico stopping on a beautiful private island for about 30 minutes to do some shelling and swimming. This 2.5 hour boating adventure is guaranteed to have you smiling and laughing for years to come. These are unlike any 2 man catamaran as they are super smooth over even choppy water, a dry ride, easy steering and throttle and super safe with its all fiberglass construction. Book it today!

Fun Experience - The boats can be a bit challenging to drive but the guides were super helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the ride and scenery. Definitely got our money's worth.

Lots of Laughs - This was a great little weekend getaway for my husband and I. We took our camper and stayed in the State park just to go on this Go Cat adventure and explore Marco Island. While the mangroves proved to be a bit challenging for other novice boaters in our group, we had many laughs. We enjoyed the mix up of tight mangrove canals (highly recommend bringing and wearing bug spray) and open water. Dylan did a great job and was patient to help new learners. Although the photos he took were very blurry, looked as if the camera lens was dirty, so just take your own. Overall, I would recommend this to others, it was something different to do as a couple.

A must do and will definitely do it again. - Was the best fun with Barron as our guide. The instructions were very clear on how to use the controls and the drive thru the mangroves was incredible (except for the mosquitoes at the slow speed). The views were amazing.

Overall fun trip but boat difficult to drive - The trip was a lot of fun and the guides were great. I found the GoCat too difficult to drive (one of the guides drove for me instead). Others said they found the boat difficult to drive also but they did manage.

More time in open water instead of the canal mangle - It take too long to get to the open water and it’s a waste of time. Once’s we got to open water we got to an island for only 15 minutes and we looks like the guide guy didn’t look to hard to see if he spotted dolphins. We did one tour last year with diferente company and we did left from open water and we did enjoyed much more and we were able to see many dolphins. The guy that was leading the tour was super nice but I would love to have spent more time in open water instead of wasting time when others drivers were getting stuck in the mangle. Maybe something to Considering since the trip Should last 2.5 hours

It was ok, not worth the price.. - The boats are pretty fun. They do go fast! Be sure to bring bug spray because the bugs are pretty bad and where you start out where the bathrooms are the wasp were awful couldn’t even get in the bathroom due to a whole swarm of wasp in front of the bathroom doors. Never did receive the Free pictures? Wouldn’t pay this price to do it again…meh

DONT GO WITH GO CATS - Would give 0 stars if we could Terrible experience today at their Collier Seminole Park location Last year it was a 5 star experience at their previous location today was the biggest waste of money taking our 2 grandkids on this non adventure. Due to bad weather an AM trip was canceled & pushed to after our 1 PM departure. By the time we reached open water the guide said we ran out of time and had to go back because the other group was now waiting There was no oppportunity to open up & go fast. On the way back a boat hit a mangrove and there was chaos while we were being devoured by mosquitos as the guide attempted to realign the 5 boats in the narrow clogged waterway. This was a new location for GoCats & a complete bust compared to an enjoyable trip a year ago in open waters. DO NOT use this company. Friends went with CraigCats at the same time today & raved about the experience
