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 :)

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.

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!

Austin was great; the girls loved his co-pilot, Arie. Manatees, ospreys, and plenty of dolphins chased the boat. Good time.
