Captain very knowledgeable about the area around Marco Island. Able to see dolphins, although that wasn't his main objective, but he realized the passengers were very excited to see the dolphins.

Thank you Captain John, your tour was a great experience for me and my husband, Harry. The day was lovely - not too hot or cold, and although the waters were choppy at times, you made sure that we were not "against the wind" and so helped us enjoy the great outdoors. Saw dolphins - 5 actually; learned a lot about the wildlife, and about the Marco Island story. You have a fine way with all of the participants onboard today, and it was good too hear out eldest share his reflections and thoughts as we toured. It means a lot to know that everyone was welcome to participate. And you called us by name, a meaningful way to host. Thanks, see you in Maine... maybe!

Gary, our captain, was most informative on the history and culture of the Marco Island, Goodland, 10,000 Islands region. He brought us to a pod of at least 7 porpoises, jumping and flipping around our boat, and we (total of 4 guests) cruised around the Islands and the Marco waterfront with its mansions, estates, beaches and waterfront hotels. Only 40-45 minutes by car from Naples to the pier at Goodland, an old boating village with a couple of popular seafood houses close by. Great afternoon.
