    What a wonderful day on the boat with Captain Keith! The boat was perfect for our family of 4, clean and enough seating in front and back of boat! We did the 4 hour tour and got to see manatees by the dock, dolphins chased us for a solid 10 minutes departing the marina, and we even saw a huge turtle swimming out in the ocean!! We then drove by North Captiva which was Gorg and ended up on Cayo costa for the most beautiful beach we ended up having all to ourselves! We shelled and snorkeled and it was heavenly! Captain Keith was so knowledgeable about everything my inquisitive children asked and we all learned so much! Thanks for a memorable trip!! Highly recommend! Communication was wonderful throughout also 👌
