Come for the wildlife, stay for the real estate!

We had a great time with Captain Dan! Very easy going and great with the kids. Our trip was off to a slow start in seeing wildlife but Capt was able to pull off a memorable dolphin sighting and got one of the babies to “hitch a ride” with us! So cool! All in all, a great day on the water & even if you don’t get to see a to. If wildlife, you will see some STUNNING real estate! 😍

Deacon is a Delight

It was fabulous! Deacon was a delight. We saw lots of dolphins and enjoyed Deacon’s music selections and information about the area. It was a gift for my 85 year old best friend and she had no problem getting on and off and walking around the boat.

No shades, scorching sun, still 5 stars!

The boat ride itself was very enjoyable, and the views were awesome. We saw plenty of dolphins; the price was definitely worth it. Watching a mama and baby dolphin play was the highlight! And we got to see some iguanas on the shores too! The captain was knowledgeable and lighthearted and made the ride even better. Overall, it was a great family experience.

We Had a Wonderful Excursion!

My son and I took the day cruise to see dolphins and manatees. We had Captain Dan and he told us all about Bird Island, the dolphins and manatees. We learned about the mangroves and Hurricane Ian as well. We had a great tour and learned so much about the sea life and the area around Fort Myers Beach! It was wonderful!

Nice adventure

The very nice captain did everything so that we could see manatees and we saw rays too. There were few of us on the boat, and cold drinks were available, very pleasant given the heat.
