Goodland has the feel of Key West with several restaurants. Nate was a wealth of information. Loved seeing all the islands and wildlife. I have never seen dolphins so close to the boat! It was nice to see Marco from the water

Loved this tour. It was exactly what we were looking for! Beautiful scenery, learning some island history, and lots and lots of dolphins! Captain Nate was awesome!

Captain Nate was very accommodating on our tour. He was super knowledgeable about all of Marco Island. We saw a baby dolphin swim with her mother. I mean right next to our boat!!! We learned so much history about Marco Island’s. Nate gave us a fantastic recommendation to Snooks Inn to get “ all you can eat crab legs “ on Mondays! Then we finished our day by going to Sweet Annie’s for a yummy ice cream! Thank you Captain Nate for a great day on Marco Island! From the New Hampshire girls Sharon & Patty

Fantastic captain! He talked about everything for our journey! Really appreciated him as this was one of the things we were looking forward to.

The balance between the many,many mangroves and the tour of the moneyed mansions was just right. The highlight was the dolphins surfing alongside the wake of the skiff on the return. They were so close and they winked at me. Capt. Nate does an excellent job of narration regarding history and local lore. He has a nice sense of humor too. I only brought one bottle of water and needed to bring two. He gave me one. I suggest the boat cooler be provided with complimentary bottles of water. Overall thoroughly enjoyed the two hours!
