2 Hour – Private Dolphin Tour

Austin was a great captain, very knowledgeable about the area including history, wildlife and boating areas. He customized the tour to our requests, found lots of dolphins and pulled a wake that the dolphins played in for over 5 minutes. It was a very cool and fun experience! Would use his services again. Thank you Austin!

Thank you again for choosing Banyan Charters for your private boat tour. Happy to hear that everyone enjoyed the trip! Getting the dolphins jumping plus that crystal clear water that we found them in was awesome, glad everyone thought so too. Hooe the rest of your time on Marco Island was just as enjoyable. Looking forward to future trips. Thanks again, Capt. Austin and Ari too

We had a wonderful sunset boat ride with Captain Austin! Highly recommend during your stay in Marco Island. The ride was complete with dolphins chasing the boat in the wake. We had a truly fantastic evening. No need to look anywhere else. Captain Austin has lived on the island for 20+ years and is a wealth of information about the area, the water, and the wildlife.

Austin was an excellent Captain. Very knowledgeable and fun to talk with. He spotted dolphins and had them chasing the boat and playing in the wake right up close to us. It was incredible! Totally recommend it to everyone. And his First Mate, Ari was an added bonus!

Amazing way to see the island and learn about the history of the area. We were also able to see dolphins and a manatee. We are new to the area and it was a great way to learn about other things to do and places to go. Highly recommended.
