Our Captain Nate was fantastic and made my 30th birthday the most special experience. He tailored the ride to exactly what we wanted and I couldn’t have had a more perfect day!
Fun in the Sunset!

Amazing experience! Captain Nate was so experienced and knowledgeable and an excellent guide and navigator. He knew where to find all of the dolphins and birds. He got the dolphins to play in our wake and it was an absolute delight! The sunset from the sandbar was stunning!
A perfect blend of nature, tranquility, and coastal beauty.

Such a great trip around Goodland and Marco Island! We started the trip cruising through calm waters where playful dolphins surfaced alongside the boat, spotted a variety of coastal birds in the mangroves and cruised past by stunning waterfront homes of Marco island shoreline. The trip ended with white sandbar stop that was stunning with its soft powdery sand and a gorgeous sunset over the Gulf, painting the sky in deep oranges. Couldn't ask for a better experience!
Definitely book this tour!

It was a perfect evening! The weather was perfect! Captain Nate did an excellent job telling us about all the birds and wildlife that we saw during our excursion. We were fortunate to have seen lots of dolphins, but the manatees were apparently napping when we were searching for them. We would highly recommend the boat tour.

Captain Thomas was the key to our eco tour. He made it the perfect ending for our vacation. He took the time to show us the best of Marco island and kept it interesting the entire tour. Safety is a priority for us and his knowledge of the islands assured we were in good hands. The sunset tour was spectacular! We loved every second of it.
