Great dolphin sighting

2 Hour – Private Dolphin Tour6 adults2 children

Captain Austin was great. We took our two young kids on the 2 hour dolphin trip and we saw tons of dolphins and they even played in the wake. Austin shared a lot of fun facts about Marco Island and the local sea life. We will definitely charter with Austin again. Also his 1st mate Ari was a great addition :)

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the kind words! 😊 We’re thrilled you and your family had such a great time today! It’s always awesome when the dolphins put on a show like that—playing in the wake never gets old. So glad the kids enjoyed it and that Ari and I could share some fun Marco Island and sea life facts along the way. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and can’t wait to welcome you all back for another adventure soon! hope everyone had an awesome fathers day! Thanks again, Captain Austin & Ari too Banyan Charters - Marco Island

    Gorgeous sunset and dolphins!

    Billion Dollar Private Sunset Cruis • 4 adults

    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.

    Wonderful Experience

    2 Hour – Private Dolphin Tour • 4 adults

    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!

    Response from Captain

    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

    Beautiful sunset cruise - must do on Marco Island

    Billion Dollar Private Sunset Cruis • 4 adults

    Captain Austin took our group of 4 out for the sunset cruise and to watch the dolphins. We saw plenty of dolphins, he knew right where to find them. He explained the area, a bit of the history, and details on the wildlife. The sunset was gorgeous. The boat ride was comfortable and relaxing. We had a great time. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Marco Island. Thank you, Capt. Austin!

    Response from Captain

    Your welcome and thank you for the kind words! I’m thrilled everyone enjoyed the sunset cruise. It’s always a joy sharing Marco Island’s history and beauty. Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip! Thank you, Capt. Austin
