    Awesome time!

    Billion Dollar Private Sunset Cruis • 4 adults

    Austin and Ari were the BEST~! Exactly what we were looking for to see Marco Island real estate and natural beauty. Austin's boat is immaculate and he knew exactly how much interaction was appropriate. My wife said this was the highlight of our weekend in Marco to celebrate her birthday. Well done!

    Loved this tour!

    Billion Dollar Private Sunset Cruis • 6 adults

    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!

    Great way to see the island

    2 Hour – Private Dolphin Tour • 4 adults

    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.

    Response from Captain

    thank you for joining us for some time on the water. The Great Loop tour as a good way to see it all and learn some of the area’s history. We appreciate you sharing your experience with others too. thanks again, Capt Austin
