Our family loved the fishing trip hosted by captain Matt! We brought our family of 5 including kids ages 10,8, and 6, and their 80 year old grandpa! Matt provided everything we needed, kept our 4 lines baited and fish removed and helped with anything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Our family had a great time on our sunset cruise. Captain Matt was very friendly and knowledgeable. He knew right where to find the dolphins and the shelling island brought lots of treasures for our kids. We enjoyed the cruise around the other islands and saw many birds as well. We have 2 teenage daughters who don’t often agree on anything but they both loved the excursion and enjoyed looking for shells together. It was a great experience and left lots of fun memories!

The Intro to Inshore Fishing was the PERFECT first-time fishing experience for our son! We did this at his request and on short notice but that didn't matter as these guys were still able to take great care of us. I definitely would refer friends and family here. Thank y'all for the wonderful and memorable experience!

Captain Nick is very knowledgeable of the area and what kinds of shells you'll likely find and where you'll find them. He is also informative if you have a question for him. We have done this tour for the past 2 years. Obviously, we were happy the first time enough to do a second.

Capt Nick is Great. Saw multiple Dolphins. Fantastic scenery of the islands. My wife loved the shelling. Capt. Nick out did himself. Many thanks can't wait till next time.

Captain Nick from Island Excursions gave us a memorable morning in the 10,000 islands! We arrived at the Goodland Boat Park (which was only 15 minutes away from the hotel strip) and found modern facilities that included a bathroom and changing area, as well as an adorable marina shop with friendly attendants where anything one can think of for a boat trip could be purchased. Captain Nick greeted us and walked us to the 6-passenger boat, which was only a short walk from the marina shop. We found Captain Nick to be and extremely knowledgeable and competent Captain as we toured the 10,000 Islands in the way to Kice Island. We spotted dolphins and birds and enjoyed learning about the ecology and history of the area. Once on Kice Island, Captain Nick not only directed us how to choose the best spots for finding shells, he also combed the beach along with us and advised us as we shelled. He created a great balance of staying with us and leaving us in our own. If he went back to check on the boat, he would return with to find us shells in-hand to give us because he was on the hunt for great shells along with us. We were on the island for the perfect amount of time and never felt rushed. We found that this shelling experience and 10,000 Islands mangrove tour was both educational and relaxing. We were very grateful for the wealth of knowledge Captain Nick brought to the experience and we will DEFINITELY take this tour again! Thank you, Captain Nick!

Our captain Nick was all ready for us, even though we were a few minutes early. He was not only very friendly, but also patient and super nice to our grandkids. The boat ride was very smooth, even though it was windy, and the boat was spotless clean. Of course we loved the abundance of shells on the small island, but my favorite was when we were idling in the water and there were many dolphins on both sides and in front of us, swimming around us in multiples, and also jumping. The kids loved especially the ride between the mango groves on the way back. Nick helped us make great memories!

Captain Nick was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. We saw plenty of dolphins and collected many shells. I highly recommend this tour if you are visiting the Marco or Naples area!

Nick was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable. Clean boat with lots of water. We saw all kinds of wildlife including manatee. The shell hunting was amazing. Highly recommend.

My husband and my two adult daughters enjoyed our tour. Nick was extremely knowledgeable and was flexible with customizing our tour . Highly recommend this tour. We will definitely do the tour again!

I did the Dolphin and Shelling tour with my three kids 15, 14 and 11 it was great and we all loved it. Our Captain Nick was wonderful must do excursion. The Pelican Larry on his boat was the Cherry.

We had a fabulous time with Captain Nick. We first booked a shelling and dolphin tour with him for my wife, 3 year old, 5 year old and mother in law. What a wonderful trip for all ages. Highly recommend! We had such fun we asked about a short fishing trip for our family. We were lucky enough for Nick to have an opening and did an introductory to fishing trip with our whole family. The kids caught tons of fish and we all had a blast on the 2 hour trip! Highly recommend this group for your excursions!

For my wife’s birthday I booked a trip with Captain Nick. We had a great experience! Nick is responsible, knowledgeable and fun! He helped my wife find some beautiful shells! Coming back a school of dolphins playfully swam and jumped in wake of the boat. It was amazing to see them up close! Thank you, Captain Nick, for the memorable trip!

Captian Orion was super informative and accommodating. My teenagers really had fun, and they’re a tough crowd. We will definitely book again when we come back to visit.

Captain Nick is the best! We actually went out on a trip with him last year and the whole family had a great time. This time we saw he had a shorter trip, which was perfect for us, given our little kids. The longer trip is a lot of fun, and you have more time to spend on the beach, see the sights, hear Captain Nick talk about the wildlife etc. Our older child (7yo) loved the longer trip. This year we went for the shorter trip, as our little one (3yo) found that much more engaging. She loved the longer trip...but fell asleep on the boat ride home (which was actually very cute!) If you just want a shorter excursion that gives you plenty of time to do other stuff, the 2h trip is lots of fun too. Next year we'll probably opt for the longer trip...but really you cannot go wrong with either one.
