We had a great time on our Manatee, dolphin and sunset cruise. It will be a wonderful memory of our trip to Marco Island. We were able to see manatees, dolphins, lots of birds and a beautiful sunset.

We are the only sunset cruise in Southwest Florida that sees manatees! Enjoy this romantic tour with max 6 passengers per boat (call for private options!), searching for manatees, dolphins, alligators, birds and sharks in their natural habitat. See Florida's eco system, the Everglades and the 10,000 Islands. Watch the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico!

Gorgeous sunset ! Captain Paul was very knowledgable about the area , the history and pointed out local wildlife. He has a great sense of humor and ensured we had a wonderful experience. Pack your favorite snacks and drinks and bring a jacket or beach blanket as it gets rather cool after sunset.

John was exceptional and a wealth of fun facts. To no fault of his, we kind of struck out animal wise seeing a gator and some birds but no manatee, dolphins, turtles or sharks. That said, John is like a Disney Jungle Cruise guide spewing out one liners and puns faster than you can keep up while layering in loads of interesting information and stories. The sunset was gorgeous and picking up shells on the island was very cool!

This was an enjoyable experience and Captain John was very knowledgeable of the plant and animal life in the region. The trip was relaxing.

Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable and entertaining! He answered all of our questions and did everything possible to show us alligators, manatees, and dolphins. If he could’ve cleared the clouds to show us a sunset he would’ve. Highly recommend!
