5.00Wonderful experience, our Capt Marco was fabulous. Very knowledgeable in the area and all the wildlife and nature. Saw several dolphins and they surfed in our wake very cool. Great way to learn about the area.

5.00We had so much fun, it was just our family of 5 with 3 children. Captin Marco made sure we saw the dolphins multiple times, and an island that was secluded for shelling. Captin Marco is super involved and knowledgeable about all the wildlife. We will be doing it again when we come back!

5.00Superb tour with Captain Colleen and her assistant Brian. We have done many dolphin tours before but never with this level of information or enjoyment. Colleen knows every dolphin in the bay and they will come close to the boat and jump in the wake. Highly recommended tour.
Amazing dolphin tour

4.00Colleen was our captain and she was amazing at finding the dolphins and educating us all about them! Because it was cold and we did the morning tour we were the only ones on the boat. She offered to take us to look for shells but we were having too much fun watching all the dolphins and learning about them. We have done dolphin tours elsewhere in the past and this was by far the best one between seeing the dolphins and hearing Colleen's knowledge of them.
Hands down THE BEST!

5.00We went on this tour yesterday and had an absolute amazing memorable time! I can’t recommend this tour enough! We saw a dolphins almost immediately and practically nonstop. They came out close to the boat, we saw babies with mamas, males courting females, and even dolphins swimming along our boat and in the wake jumping out of the water! Captain Colleen, and Sonia were our guides, highly knowledgeable, could answer every question we had a knew a ton about the area. They also interacted with other boats in the area to partner on the tour experience and ensure that the dolphins were safe throughout the process. It’s actually the second time we’ve taken this tour and the other couple we were with who spend a ton of time in Florida said they have never seen anything like it. We will all be back!

5.00We had the pleasure of joining Captain Marco for a sightseeing and shelling tour during the last week of October, and it was truly unforgettable. The weather was perfect, and Captain Marco’s deep knowledge and passion for the Marco Island ecosystem made the experience both enriching and enjoyable. Despite the slightly murky water, we were lucky enough to spot a manatee gliding through the depths—a rare and magical moment. Captain Marco went above and beyond to find dolphins, and we were thrilled when they followed our boat’s wake, playfully leaping and swimming alongside us for an extended time. He guided us to two pristine islands, where we discovered an incredible variety of shells—including the elusive sea beans (IYKYK!). Not only did he help us find them, but he also took the time to explain their origins and significance. What stood out most was how much we learned—unexpected, yet absolutely delightful. Captain Marco’s tour was the perfect blend of adventure, education, and natural beauty. We can't wait to return!
Fabulous. Captain Marco...
