Private Marco Island / 10,000 Islands Sightseeing & Dolphin Tour

We had so much fun with Captain Casey. He was super knowledgeable about the area. He made sure we saw everything we could. We saw tons of birds, dolphin and manatees. We also went shelling which was really fun. I’d recommend this excursion to anybody visiting the area.

We booked this private excursion with our friends. Max people was 6. We had 5. Our Captain, Matt was absolutely amazing! He was very nice and knew everything about the area we were in. He even got a dolphin, they named Kevin to play in the wake of the boat! We saw so many dolphins and were able to find some nice shells even though we were in high tide!

Had the best time with Capt Derek! Pure professional. Very knowledgeable and a really nice guy. Highly recommend!

Incredible experience! We booked the whole boat for our anniversary and it did not disappoint!!! We were escorted to the most amazing island where Nick delivered on His promise to leave with a BUCKET of seashells. He even helped find some and new the names. Then on the way back he summoned his dolphin freinds to give us a lite show it was truly magical!

Awesome day on the water! Captain Matt is awesome and told us so much about the area, the dolphins and the shells. We searched for dolphins while boating out to the island to shell. He got the dolphins to follow us and ride the wake. My girls got such great videos. The shelling was great too. He pointed out varieties and helped us find some cool souvenirs. A private 3 hour tour was the way to go for a family of five. Nick was also great to work with as we planned the trip. Thank you guys for making this special.

We had a great trip with Captain Jeff today. Our primary reason for booking was to see the dolphins and Captain Jeff did not disappoint! Not only did he find them (they hid from us for a while), he was able to engage them in play in the wake of his boat. A great time was had by all. Highly recommend!

Captain Jeff was friendly, informative and very knowledgeable about the area and boating in the area. He was very humble and humorous. We truly had the best experience possible.

Matt was a great captain and guide! Saw dolphins, ospreys and roseate spoonbills. Collected some nice shells. We really enjoyed it.

Just finished a private tour with Capt. Jeff White. If you are looking to see dolphins, various birds, mangrove forests etc.,..take this tour. Capt. Jeff made sure we had dolphins chasing and playing around the boat. He is very knowable of the entire eco system and made sure he shared his experience. Take the tour...well worth it! P.S. Also went shelling (if you want) on a beach full of shells.

Jeff White was a great, informative captain! Overdelivered on the experience and cant wait to use him again. Thasnks again Jeff

Our family loved the fishing trip hosted by captain Matt! We brought our family of 5 including kids ages 10,8, and 6, and their 80 year old grandpa! Matt provided everything we needed, kept our 4 lines baited and fish removed and helped with anything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Our family had a great time on our sunset cruise. Captain Matt was very friendly and knowledgeable. He knew right where to find the dolphins and the shelling island brought lots of treasures for our kids. We enjoyed the cruise around the other islands and saw many birds as well. We have 2 teenage daughters who don’t often agree on anything but they both loved the excursion and enjoyed looking for shells together. It was a great experience and left lots of fun memories!

Captain Nick is very knowledgeable of the area and what kinds of shells you'll likely find and where you'll find them. He is also informative if you have a question for him. We have done this tour for the past 2 years. Obviously, we were happy the first time enough to do a second.

Capt. Nick is awesome. The Eco tour through the mangrove islands was spectacular. His knowledge of the of the area was exceptional. The boat was the perfect size for getting in close to the islands and also very sea worthy at the same time. The beach and the shelling experience was also exceptional. My wife is a shelling nut and was in her glory. Capt. Nick is shelling right along with you helping to find that 1 in a million shell. I highly recommend Capt. Nick and his 10,000 island Eco Tour.

Capt Nick is Great. Saw multiple Dolphins. Fantastic scenery of the islands. My wife loved the shelling. Capt. Nick out did himself. Many thanks can't wait till next time.

Captain Nick was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We saw plenty of dolphins and collected many shells. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the Marco or Naples area!

Nick was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable. Clean boat with lots of water. We saw all kinds of wildlife including manatee. The shell hunting was amazing. Highly recommend.

My husband and my two adult daughters enjoyed our tour. Nick was extremely knowledgeable and was flexible with customizing our tour . Highly recommend this tour. We will definitely do the tour again!

For my wife’s birthday I booked a trip with Captain Nick. We had a great experience! Nick is responsible, knowledgeable and fun! He helped my wife find some beautiful shells! Coming back a school of dolphins playfully swam and jumped in wake of the boat. It was amazing to see them up close! Thank you, Captain Nick, for the memorable trip!

Captian Orion was super informative and accommodating. My teenagers really had fun, and they’re a tough crowd. We will definitely book again when we come back to visit.

Captain Nick is the best! We actually went out on a trip with him last year and the whole family had a great time. This time we saw he had a shorter trip, which was perfect for us, given our little kids. The longer trip is a lot of fun, and you have more time to spend on the beach, see the sights, hear Captain Nick talk about the wildlife etc. Our older child (7yo) loved the longer trip. This year we went for the shorter trip, as our little one (3yo) found that much more engaging. She loved the longer trip...but fell asleep on the boat ride home (which was actually very cute!) If you just want a shorter excursion that gives you plenty of time to do other stuff, the 2h trip is lots of fun too. Next year we'll probably opt for the longer trip...but really you cannot go wrong with either one.

Overall great experience. Nick had great knowledge of all the local spots and the general ecology of the islands.

This eco tour was perfect! Just enough time to be on the water, see dolphins, and learn about local wildlife & plants. Captain Nick was very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely made for a great day on the water! Highly recommend.
