Highlights
- Marco Island - Our guests arrive 30 minutes before their trip so we can provide detailed instruction on how to drive the boat and how to follow the guide on an amazing adventure. We go in small groups of 8 people or less for a personal first class experience. We cruise around at slower speed to explore the beautiful mangroves, look for elegant dolphin and manatee in the wild, beautiful birds and some of the most scenic views in the backwater of the famous 10,000 Islands. Then we get up to full speed (30 mph) on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico stopping on a beautiful private island for about 30 minutes to do some shelling and swimming. This 2.5 hour boating adventure is guaranteed to have you smiling and laughing for years to come. These are unlike any 2 man catamaran as they are super smooth over even choppy water, a dry ride, easy steering and throttle and super safe with its all fiberglass construction. Book it today!

Excellent time! - My husband and I went and it was so much fun! We saw Dolphins! And we also had a few mishaps but the instructors are so laid back and they know you can figure it out, for the most part. I highly recommend booking this excursion if in the area! Great time! Thanks Dylan!

A must do experience! - Dylan was very thorough explaining how to operate the equipment and we were confident when we left the dock. The tour through the mangroves and all the islands was so beautiful. We stopped at an island and had some time to wander. All in all it was a terrific experience. Might want to apply bug spray prior.

Myself and daughter had our own Cat while my wife rode with the guide based on our odd number. Highlight of the trip! - Had a great trip with Cats on the Water! Left on time and saw much of what is described you'd see. Well worth the few hours spent and would us Go Cats on the Water again if we return.

Great for novice and experience boaters alike! - We made the trip from the East Coast for the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. As avid boaters who have navigated the Ten Thousand Islands on our own in the past I can tell you the area is like no other and can be very challenging to navigate. The guided tour gives you the opportunity to take in the amazing area without the stress of figuring out where you are! These boats are very unique in handling and operation but also very easy to learn. The guides do a very thorough safety and operation briefing. There is a bit of a long slow-speed area at the beginning but if you just want to hop on something and go fast, go to the beach and rent a jet-ski. These are at least as much fun as a jet-ski (but different) but you won't experience the tranquil backcountry and unique habitat that this tour provides. The slow-speed area also provides ample acclimation time to prepare for handling the boat at speed.
Let's talk about speed! These boat aren't fast......they are sudden! It's a nice setup for power with 50hp motors that cruise at around 25 and reach speeds of 30+! The acceleration is instantaneous when you get in the areas to run and the high speed part of the tour is pretty substantial to get to the island. Be forewarned, though. It's not all smooth and easy. The open bay areas can get a little choppy and rough but only briefly. I highly recommend this tour for novice and experienced boaters alike. It's a "must-do" while visiting the Marco Island area.

Cat Boats - We had a blast on these boats! Be sure to ask for Baron - he was our guide and was great. His first priority was teaching us how to drive the boats and our safety and after that he just made the trip fun. The boats reminded us of side-by-side jet skis without getting wet. They were very stable even when we were in open waters and opened up the throttle. The adventure was memorable.

Best excursion ever - Absolutely the best excursion we have done. Byron was our guide and after a quick tutorial we were on the way to a thrilling ride through the mangroves. Saw dolphin families right next to our go cat which was so much fun to maneuver. Great way to experience the 10,000 islands. If you have time for just one thing, this is a must!

It was ok, not worth the price.. - The boats are pretty fun. They do go fast! Be sure to bring bug spray because the bugs are pretty bad and where you start out where the bathrooms are the wasp were awful couldn’t even get in the bathroom due to a whole swarm of wasp in front of the bathroom doors. Never did receive the Free pictures? Wouldn’t pay this price to do it again…meh
