    FAQs

    Are there any restrooms on board the vessel?
    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.

    What should we wear? Should we bring bathing suits?
    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.

    Are we able to do water sports like wake boarding or fishing?
    No. Our boats are not permitted for fishing, and we are not equipped for water sports activities on our vessels. Swimming can be done at any of the island beaches and you are welcome to bring floats and such to use.

    Infants must weigh more than 17 lbs to be on board. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. Service animals and leashed dogs are allowed on private tours, but dogs are not permitted on island beaches off leash. Dogs and other pets are prohibited on the beaches or islands visited, except service animals. A step stool and railing are available for boarding at the beach.

    The guides here absolutely make the experience, and it shows in every review. Whether you're out with Captain Colleen, Captain Elliot, Mike, Jessica, Dylan, or Marco, you're getting someone who genuinely loves what they do and knows the Marco Island area inside and out. People rave about how knowledgeable these captains are, sharing fascinating details about the 10,000 Islands ecosystem, marine life, and local history. But beyond the educational aspect, reviewers constantly mention how friendly, warm, and fun these guides are. They've got that rare combination of expertise and personality that turns a good boat tour into something families are calling "the highlight of our trip" and "a memory we'll treasure forever." The shelling tours to Kice Island seem to be the most popular activity, though jet ski adventures and wildlife sightseeing trips get equal love. Dolphins are practically guaranteed, with multiple groups describing pods jumping alongside their boats and swimming around them. Manatees, sea turtles, and various bird species make regular appearances too. The tours work beautifully for multi-generational families, with several reviewers specifically praising how well the captains engage both kids and adults. Repeat customers are common here, with some people making these tours an annual tradition. One enthusiastic visitor has already been three times and is planning a fourth. The booking and administrative staff also get mentioned positively, suggesting the whole operation runs smoothly from start to finish.

    We had an unforgettable experience with Florida Adventures and Rentals in Marco Island! Our shelling tour was nothing short of incredible and Colleen was the perfect host—knowledgeable, welcoming and full of warmth. She made the entire adventure seamless and fun for the whole family. This is a memory we’ll treasure forever. Highly, highly recommend—and we’re already looking forward to coming back!
