You will most definitely get wet. Bring a change of clothes and towels for after the tour. Bring sunglasses vs a hat. The sunglasses help from the water spray. We would suggest having the guide putting up the Bimini top especially with kids. We had an absolute blast and highly recommend. If you are considering renting jet skis or this, hands down the Craigcat.

We brought our 6 & 9 year old boys. It was amazing!! Cruised through the mangroves and saw dolphins. CraigCats were easy to maneuver and didn’t take much time to learn. My sons said it was the best thing we did during our time in Marco! Thanks so much for an awesome time with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Would do this excursion again!

The 2.5 hour tour is amazing. Make sure you put on sunscreen or wear a spf shirt. Look out for the dolphins! So cool

Great guide, very patient and kept our safety as his first priority. Erik was educated and fun and made sure we all were prepared for our ride. He knows the lay of the land in the backwaters.

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. 2.5 hours made it a long and fun trip. Saw Dolphins right next to my boat. Eric was a great guide. Got a little wet, not too bad. A fun experience.
