We had a chartered trip today with Captain Derrick and had the BEST time. He was friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and safe and comfortable the entire trip. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Mattie, thank you so much. You and your family were awesome. Looking forward to your next visit to Marco Island.
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, the day was perfect, and Derrick couldn’t have been a better captain and host. If you’re looking for a fun, laid-back day on the water with someone who knows the area and genuinely enjoys what he does, book with Derrick. We’ll absolutely be calling him again next time we’re in town!
Scott, thank you for the awesome review. It was a great day wasn’t it. I’m glad the kids had a blast. Sorry your daughter couldn’t reel that fish in. Look forward to the next time you guys are in town.
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 the whole time. We would not hesitate to use him again and hope to meet Finn in the future. Thanks for everything, Derrick!!! Pam, Lexie and gang.
Pam, thank you for the wonderful review. You guys were incredible. What a fun day. Hope you guys made it back safe and I look forward to your next trip to Marco Island, and going out on the Finnship. Hopefully it’ll be a little cooler, and we can bring Finn. 
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!
Michelle, thank you so much for the kind review. I’m glad you guys had a great time and enjoyed the boat. I’m glad the kids got a chance to experience the ride. Please keep me in mind for any future charters and look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to Marco Island.
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!
Hey guys, thank you so much for the nice review. Yes we saw a lot of dolphins and don’t forget we got a special treat seeing the turtle. Hope you guys had a safe trip back and enjoy Europe. Look forward to your next visit to Marco and another boat ride.
All around great trip. Excellent captain and boat. Captain Derrick knew the area and was able to set us up with an outing that met all of our expectations. I highly recommend him.
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.
