A must try - Never did something like this before, very outside my comfort zone lol especially being from NY (the city). But I had the absolute best time. The boats are very study and not as close to the water as the others I seen on here. It was a lil scary at first but Dylan was so informative and made the trip even better. I was the passenger and got to see so much and my boyfriend felt like driving the boat was not difficult at all. You get used to the handling and it becomes second nature. We will definitely be inviting friends and family to do this again when we come back into town. Thank you so much for this experience!!!!

Cat Boat tour - This is mainly a long, fun and sporty flat bottom cat boat drive you just can't get many other places. Well worth the money and we'll probably do this one again on our next trip to Marco Island.

First time driving a Go Cat - First time driving a Go Cat Boat! Austin the boat guide was super helpful, patient, and clear with instructions - finally after 3+ tries I was able to drive the boat. Anyone with prior experience taking a tiller would probably pick it up much faster. Once we were all out following in a line behind Austin and cruising between the mangrove islands it was enjoyable. There were 4 boats plus the guide's boat in our group and we spent about 2 hours zipping around the mangroves, with a brief stop at an island beach. It is cool the way you are so close to the water in a Go Cat. A highlight was having a dolphin cross my wake.

Wonderful fun adventure around Marco Island - We had a fantastic time going out with this company. My husband is disabled from a stroke, so we were worried about him getting on and off the two seater catamarans. But with the help of Austin our guide he was able to get on and off without any difficulty.
It takes a little bit to get used to how to drive these vehicles, but I did not have any problems.
It is extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend it. We got to see dolphins several times around the boat or in the distance or when we got off on one of the little islands for 15 minutes, there were several dolphins around the island that we got to watch.
Great adventure for something to do around Marco Island.
My tip. We got there very early and we’re waiting in front of the restaurant on the bench that they said to wait out however, apparently we were supposed to walk around the back of the restaurant and gone down to the water. I had gone around the back and only saw the outdoor seating. So I guess we almost missed the tour even though we were likely the first ones there because we got there a half an hour before we were supposed to get there which was an hour before the tour left.
But luckily and thank goodness they called the access where we were and we just walked around the building at that time. Which was quite embarrassing because I missed a safety brief and they had to do it again for us and I felt like an idiot, because I am always very early to any tour.

Great way to see 10,000 islands - If you are looking for a great way to see the mangroves of ten thousand islands, this is the trip for you. The Go Cats are an awesome way to have fun and see the backwaters around marco island. You get adventure and great scenery. Are tour guide Austin was awesome. He was very patient, was some of the other people in our group that did not know how to drive a boat very well. I would highly recommend this tour!!

New, fun experience! - My husband and I enjoyed the tour. It was a lot of fun to be on these small watercraft moving through the mangroves. Temperatures were a little cooler than normal for this time of year, but I wore a long sleeve shirt and capris and was totally comfortable. Austin was a great tour guide.

Awesome boats, so fun, wanted more history and education of the beautiful islands! - The boats were so fun, the meeting place was easy right by the Little Bar in Goodland. Went over lots of safety procedures and then took off. Adventured through the 10,000 islands and didn't get a lot of history or facts about the islands. What are all the mile markers, how far does it go, where are all the birds, etc... We saw some dolphins and then stopped at a sand bar/brush island but were on the back side and the gal told us that the front side was where all the good shells were. But he didn't take us to that side of the island, and we didn't have time to wade through the water to get to the good side. For the price, I wanted more out of the tour guide. Be present with the customers and educate them as much as possible, so they want to bring their friends back and do it again!
