Private Eco Boat Trip out of Naples Bay, FL and the Gulf, island stop incl.

Overview
(Price shown is a group price and not per adult - absolutely no extra/hidden fees.) Enjoy a private 2h45min long Sightseeing/ Eco Tour on the Mangroveman Charters. South West Florida has a vibrant ecosystem, and a variety of birds can be often viewed including blue herons, roseate spoonbills, and egrets. In the wintertime, ospreys are often seen nesting on the channel markers. Mammals like bottlenose dolphins and manatees can be spotted, usually very close to the boat. Dolphins love to follow the vessel and play in its wake. Sometimes you can even encounter deer jumping in the shallow water areas close to the mangroves.

Dogs can be brought too. Contact us to let us know - we should be listed in the contact details. But for small dogs, you do not need any approval at all.

What To Expect
1
Mangroveman Charters
We will visit the northern part of the 10,000 Islands and Gordon Pass.
2
Keewaydin Island
We stop at a beautiful, serene, secluded part of the long Keewaydin Island beach, which stretches into the Horizon. The sandy white beach offers a lot of beautiful intact seashells, which we can collect. We can also go swimming or explore some of the hidden off-the-beaten-path trails. Often there is interesting wildlife to see like turtles, lizards and different species of birds. A small picknick is also a possible at the beach. You can bring your own food but we do have small snacks and a variety of sodas. You can choose if you want to stay longer on the island or leave earlier to enjoy more from the viewpoint on the boat. Since this is a private trip it is up to you. You can tell the captain what you would rather like to do.
Cancellation Policy
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We had a fantastic morning with Captain Paul. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and can speak to different species of plants, birds and animals. His boat is comfortable and well-cared for. He is flexible, wanting to spend time on things that we enjoyed. We loved our swim on the beach- held sand dollars and starfish. This was the perfect morning for our family of 4 (kids 10 and 8) and our small pup. Would highly recommend Captain Paul and this tour. He is a gem.

Great experience! Captain Paul was awesome! He is very knowlegeable and willing to go out of his way to provide you with a great experience. My wife, 4 year old and 8 year old loved it! We saw dolphins, various birds and huge lizards. We even caught a quick glimps of a manatee. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed.

It was awesome! Perfect weather, perfect guide! Captain Paul is very knowledgeable and concerned that his guests get the trip they want. He followed several dolphins for quite a while so we could get great pictures. Heā€™s very flexible in what is asked of him and has an array of suggestions of his own to enhance your trip! This is a tour weā€™ll remember for a long time!
