We 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 was extremely knowledgeable. Very engaging. Open to all questions. Funny friendly. Run. Don’t walk to this cruise

Our captain Marco was fabulous! Dolphins recognized his friendly boat and put on a great show for us, swimming in circles, leaping into our wake and leaping alongside the boat. Marco readily spotted birds and sealife that was difficult for us novices to see.

We cannot stop talking about the wonderful trip we had with Captain Marco today! We learned so much about dolphins, manatees, birds and Marco Island history. Plus we saw so many playful dolphins.
We highly recommend!

What a great experience we had today with Captain Marco and Captain Elliott! I was on a girls trip and we were lucky enough to have Marco and Elliot to ourselves. They were knowledgeable, friendly and found so many pods of dolphins for us to photograph!! Can't wait to tour with them on our next visit!
