Captain Rick - We had a wonderful day with our Captain Rick. He was very informative and took us sightseeing along the beautiful mangroves, explained the history of Marco Island, pointed out the many dolphins we saw along our ride. If you are ever interested in this tour do not hesitate to request our Captain, as you will not be disappointed in this experience.

Great tour - Captain John did a great job with our tour! It was a chilly cloudy day but Captain John did a great job showing us around Goodland, mangroves and some homes on the water. Lots of information about the local eco system and history of the island! Would recommend this tour!
