After relaxing in beautiful Marco Island during the week and "expressing" it to Key West for 2 days, we decided to try out the CraigCat tour as recommended by our waitress at Little Bar Restaurant in Goodale. We had planned on taking a Jet Ski (Waverunner) tour, since we had been on one before. Our family of 7 decided on the CraigCat, and we're thrilled we did so. Any anxiety of "little boat/big water" was quickly diminished once our guide, Jason, explained the operation of the boat in detail, and let us go. We had an absolute blast. Saw about 8-10 dolphins within minutes of leaving the "no-wake" area, and enjoyed the sun and fun the remaining 3 hours. We were fortunate that Jason spotted a storm coming, and within minutes of getting us off the water at the end of the 3 hours, it began to pour as we sat high & dry in the Old Marco Lodge sipping on cold drinks. We'll go again the next time we are in the area. (The cost for this tour was substantially less than the waverunners, and it was an hour longer.)

We took the morning tour that began at 10:30 am. We were asked to arrive 15 minutes before to sign the waiver and get instructions on operating the vessel. It is so easy and so much fun. Jason was our guide the 3 hours. We were with 4 other couples from all over the US. All age groups as well. We all had a ball! We toured the mangroves then let loose on the open waters. Oh My Goodness what fun this is! We stopped for shelling which was a bust since #1 is was not low tide and #2 all that was there was oyster shells! I could have done without this "shelling tour" stop. the ride back was phenomenal! We were able to crank them up and go! This was a blast. I would book again in ever I return to Marco Island and will look for the Craigcat boat tours wherever I go from now on. So worth the money!!
