MARCO ISLAND BOAT TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Your Private Captain on Marco Island: Tailor-Made Days of Secluded Beaches and Wild Dolphins
A Private Custom Tour gives you a private boat and captain for 3, 5, or 8 hours so you can design a day from sun-soaked barrier islands to close encounters with wild dolphins.
Your Private Captain on Marco Island: Tailor-Made Days of Secluded Beaches and Wild Dolphins.
On Marco Island, a private boat and personal captain let you trade a one-size-fits-all itinerary for a day shaped to your wishes — whether that means beached solitude on a barrier island or watching dolphins at play. Island Excursions runs Private Custom Tours that place the choices in your hands and deliver them from a local launch point in Goodland.

A Private Boat and Personal Captain
These tours put a single boat and captain at your disposal: an option built for privacy and flexibility so the day unfolds the way you want.
Up-Close Encounters with Wild Dolphins
One of the recurring draws on these trips is the opportunity to observe and enjoy wild dolphin activity from the comfort of your private boat.
Secluded Barrier-Island Beaches
Customize the day around time ashore on a quiet barrier island beach for sun, sand and a more private shoreline experience.

How the Day Feels
