Captain Nate was the best! Told us all about the dolphins and the different names he has given them (Hook and Knuckles). Took us to amazing places to get shells! We had a wonderful day! Thanks Captain Nate!

Captain Nate shepherded our group of six 18-year-old high school seniors on a 2 hour private tour during our mothers-daughters April trip to Marco Island. They came back with great photos and fun memories. On our last night they all said - hands down - it was the highlight of the week (and they are not exactly easy to please!). They admired how Nate could "read his audience" and give them many details about the dolphins or the manatees when they wanted and then let them have some quiet time. The shell sandbar yielded many treasures. Do not hesitate to book this - we were extremely lucky he had one trip left!
