4 Hour – Dolphin Watching Tour

Captain Derrick was absolutely awesome! He took our family out on his amazing center console boat, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We spent the day island hopping, cruising, and doing a little fishing with the kids. Derrick was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and made the entire day easy and fun. He knew exactly where to take us, was great with the kids, and made sure everyone was having a good time. My kids absolutely loved him! The boat was beautiful,... More

Captain Derrick, the owner of Finnship Boat Charters is the perfect Captain and provided a fun, special and memorable trip to Keewaydin Island for our group of 9. His boat is pristine and beautiful!! We had 5 teens with us who give Derrick 10 stars and loved the music/speaker system and “cool factor” of the gorgeous boat. Derrick found the perfect spot at the sandbar for us to float, snorkel and just relax. Derrick was great to work with, responsive, friendly and kept our group safe and smiling... More

Captain Derrick was very responsive, accommodating, and friendly. He gave our family of seven a wonderful speedboat ride to Naples and back. The boat was comfortable and fast; stocked with ice, water, blankets if needed, and of course lifejackets for adults and children. Derek occasionally talked about what we were seeing but allowed us to enjoy the ride and the sights, which included seeing dolphins and some fantastic houses. Highly recommended!

What a great way to spend the afternoon than on the waters around Marco Island! First off, Captain Derrick delivered on his promise to see dolphins! His boat is very clean with a great sound system. He was very accommodating with our requests to cruise to Naples and stop for a bite to eat. We will be sure to book again next time we are on Marco Island!

Marck, thank you so much for the review. Glad we dodged all the rain and had a good day for the kids at the beach. Looking forward to you and your dad coming back to Marco and doing that offshore fishing trip.
