Wonderful way to explore the area!
Highly recommend! Matlacha is a central location that gives you options of which islands and waterways to explore. It was a short drive from Ft Myers and we were able to quickly get out to clear water and great shelling. Captain Greg was able to customize our stops so we got exactly what we wanted!

Your custom boat tour!
make sure you bring an extra layer of clothing. Just because it’s warm when you’re sitting still or even hot, it doesn’t mean it’s warm when you’re going 25 mph on a boat. Also don’t forget, sunscreen, water, sunglasses, and a good playlist for music. Also cash for a tip.
