Six Thumbs Up! - We lucked out, Capt Gary had a deep knowledge of the history of Goodland and Marco. He also was able to make the tour comfortable despite winds that were blowing up to 20 by keeping us in the lee of the mangrove Islands! Got to see dolphins and birds and mansions Great 2 hr ride!

Better than I expected and much more! - Our family tour was such a phenomenal experience, we knew it would be fun time but Captain Nate went above and beyond so that we could experience all that Marco sea life had to offer! Dolphins, turtles, different types of fish along with the various species of birds. Our Captain was extremely attentive and knowledgeable which made this experience 5 star! Definitely will do again next year!!

Dolphins Jumping at Sunset - Captain Nate was great on a private afternoon shell and sunset tour. The boat was in great condition and he made us feel at home. We have a boat and we immediately knew we were in good hands as his has a hard to earn captain’s license. He was very communicative before as we were sorting out logistics for one of our group who is less comfortable on a boat. During the tour he shared lots of information about the ecology of the area, gave us tips on shelling since we don’t know a lot. (He was also able to find a bunch of unique shells for us as well). Do the private tour if you can swing it so that you have more say about how long you are at each stop. We had great luck with the dolphins and got two pods to engage with the boat. Quite a delight for all of us.
