Amazing experience

Lauren_C, Mar 2024

This was the best boat tour I have ever been on! Captain Paul was so knowledgeable and so nice! We had the most amazing dolphin show during sunset! Something I will remember for the rest of my life!

This was a Christmas gift...

Kathryn_C, Mar 2024

This was a Christmas gift for my parents who were traveling to Naples for the winter. Our daughter also was able to join them. They texted me immediately after the trip to say how amazing the captain was. They also got to see a ton of wildlife.

Great Sunset Cruise!

Kathleen_M, Feb 2024

Captain Paul was a great guide. The Sunsrt cruise was beautiful! The Kewadin Island walk was so spectacular.

A relaxing, educational private tour.

Linda_V, Jan 2024

We loved having just the 4 of us and Captain Paul on the boat. He was very easy to talk to & joke with. He was knowledgeable about many, many things & was able to answer all our questions. He turned the boat different directions for good pictures of dolphins, birds, homes, & the beautiful sunset! And we picked many different kinds, colors & sizes of shells! Bonus!

The best private boat tour!

Martin_C, Dec 2022

We have lived in Florida for 10 years and have travelled widely, by this was by far the best boat trip we have taken. Our guide and driver, Paul was knowledgeable and laid back. The weather was terrific and we enjoyed a wonderful sunset. The birdlife and dolphins put on a show too just to complete a great day.

Spring break gem!

Garrett_W, Mar 2022

Perfect way to wrap up a day on spring break. Captain was on time and boat was clean. Snacks provided made my family smile and the drinks were ice cold. Literally saw dolphins within the first five minutes feet from the boat! Very educational and relaxing trip. Beautiful sunset! Highly recommend!

The highlight of our trip!

Christina_S, Mar 2022

What a great evening! Our sunset cruise was perfect. Paul was a wonderful guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the local ecology. We loved the time on Keewaydin Island, and the sunset views from the boat were fantastic.

Julia_S, Mar 2021

Captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave ample time to explore and was very flexible during our trip (bathroom breaks, longer time at beach, etc.) Highly recommend this private tour.

An unforgettable family adventure

Sarah_K, Mar 2021

Exploring the mangrove forests, spotting ospreys and other shore birds, and enjoying the beauty of Keewaydin in solitude were two experiences we hadn’t anticipated and thoroughly enjoyed. Watching the sunset in the Gulf with dolphins playing all around made this an unforgettable moment, a standout in our family time together in Naples.

Great Experience

Jane_G, Mar 2021

Private Tour with Captain Paul

Pearl_L, Jul 2020

Enjoyed the day with friends and Captain Paul out on the water. Learned much about the natural environment in the area. Saw dolphins, pink spoonbills and other birds feeding in the shallows. Had time to take a short stroll through the mangroves to go shelling on a pristine private beach before watching the sunset. You’re in good hands with Captain Paul. Highly recommend.

Such a great Sunset Cruise!

Kate_D, Feb 2020

This tour was fantastic! Captain Paul was wonderful. He knew all the best places to take us to ensure we had the best views of the sunset! He was so knowledgable about everything from the wildlife to the plants to the homes. It was such a unique and fantastic experience. Loved seeing the dolphins!! I highly recommend!
