This review is for both trips we took with Captain Marco through Florida Adventures. Our first trip was on Wednesday and we had such a great time we booked a trip for Friday as soon as we got back to our condo requesting Captain Marco as our guide. On Wednesday he had dolphins chasing the boat before we even left the bay. Of course I wasn’t recording when I thought I was so he made a u turn and got them to do it again so I could get them on video. He is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and area surroundings. Not that he can control what you find but on this trip my 12 y/o daughter found a horse conch that I think even he was envious of. He takes you to places where your chances of finding awesome shells is high. On our Friday trip he took us to a couple of different shelling islands and again showed us his knowledge of shells and the surrounding habitats. He extended this trip beyond the scheduled time which he didn’t have to do. On the way back in he made every effort to get dolphins to chase the boat so we could get footage and enjoy watching them play in the boat’s wake. Captain Marco is a true professional. He enjoys his job and truly enjoys being able to bring happiness into people’s lives. He loves the environment and will do anything to protect it. On our Friday trip we found a giant hermit crab that was too big for it’s shell. He was hellbent on finding a larger shell for the crab to occupy. Luckily he was able to find one and we hope the crab changed shells. I would highly recommend a tour with Captain Marco! We’ll see you next year!

What an incredible tour! We booked the two hour Cape Romano and Shelling Tour and were lucky enough to have Captain Marco as our guide. He was so knowledgeable about the area, provided lots of history and helped us to find tons of great shells. The dome houses were amazing! Unlike anything we've ever seen. And our special treat were two dolphins that played in our wake and jumped alongside the boat. Thank you, Captain Marco for a perfect day!!! We highly recommend this tour of you're in the Naples/Marco Island area.
