FAQs
No. The public boat marina you meet us for the tour has a public restroom that you can use before and after your tour. Once on the boat, Mother Nature becomes your restroom.
Bathing suits are ideal, but outdoor comfortable wear is perfect! Guests are welcome to swim at the island beach. Just ensure you have comfortable shoes that can get wet to walk along the beaches. If a lot of shells, it can be uncomfortable to walk on.

More about Goodland Boat Park
Goodland Boat Park sits at the quiet eastern edge of Marco Island, where the mangroves thicken and the waterways braid out into the wild expanse of the Ten Thousand Islands. This unassuming launch is the gateway to one of Florida's most untouched coastal wildernesses, and it is where your private two-hour boat tour begins. Unlike the busier marinas on the island, Goodland Boat Park has the laid-back feel of old Florida, a fishing-village rhythm that sets the tone perfectly for what lies ahead on the water.
From Goodland Boat Park, your captain guides you out through a maze of mangrove islands, shell beaches, and shallow tidal flats that few visitors ever see. The two-hour route puts you in prime position to spot bottlenose dolphins arcing alongside the boat, manatees grazing in the seagrass, ospreys circling overhead, and the occasional bald eagle perched along the shoreline. The breeze carries the briny scent of the estuary, the water shifts from emerald to deep blue as you move between channels, and the silence out here is something you feel as much as hear. Because the tour is private, you set the pace, lingering where the wildlife is active and slipping into quiet coves your captain knows from years on these waters.
This experience is ideal for families wanting an easy adventure together, couples looking for a romantic stretch on the water, photographers chasing dolphins and sunsets, and anyone who prefers a personal outing over a crowded group cruise. Departing from Goodland Boat Park keeps the focus on the wild side of the Ten Thousand Islands rather than the developed shoreline, so every minute feels like genuine exploration. If you want a calm, scenic, and richly natural introduction to southwest Florida's backwaters, casting off from Goodland Boat Park is the way to do it.
