Large 35' Luxury boat in Fort Myers for seeing Dolphins, Stingrays, Sunsets, Beaches, Sandbars, Waterfront Dining and so much more
Captain Troy and his boat were amazing!!! We celebrated my friend’s birthday today and went out to Cayo Costa. He supplied us with towels, ice, answered our questions, on the way back in he got the dolphins to play with us for a while in which I got great pictures! Myself and my group would definitely recommend a trip for sure!

New Yamaha 19' Jet Boat - Fish/Sight-See/Dolphin Watch - Water/Snacks/Ice Included!
Wonderful, fully equipped power boat that has Bluetooth wireless capabilities to bring the party to the next level. Adrian was very flexible with our schedule and even brought the boat out an hour early for launch because we were concerned about bad weather later in the day. He really cares about his customers having a fun and safe experience while out on the water. I'll definitely be looking to rent his boat again in the future.

Large 35' Luxury boat in Fort Myers for seeing Dolphins, Stingrays, Sunsets, Beaches, Sandbars, Waterfront Dining and so much more
We had such a great trip with Captain Troy. We were able to see many different wildlife such as Doflins and Manatee as well as some sea birds. Captain Troy was very knowledgeable in the local waterways and the fun locations to experience and explore. We had a great shore lunch and was able to swim and enjoy the local waters. His boat was very clean and he has all the safety gear. Which made us feel very secure during our trip. We will definitely be booking another trip with Captain Troy.
