Marco Island Boat Tours is about education. All our guides are formally trained Florida Master Naturalists, educators and US Coast Guard Captains and some of the most experienced leaders in the area. You will have the opportunity to learn about the area's wildlife, long history and rich culture. In very stable boats and kayaks, safely explore a very unique part of your planet. We have our 17 passenger boat back in operation.
