McCarthy's Marina

We went on a Dolfin Cruise. Very quiet initially but the last 45 minutes were awesome. And the narrator made the cruise great. He provided so much valuable information about the area. Sanibel and Captiva and Pine Island Sound. Information about the animals and about the area. A lot of information about the Intercostal Water Way as.well. Great boat ride and the dolphins were absolutely awesome the last 30-40 minutes. Well worth the cost!!

Awesome dolphin tour. Very pleasant was to spend the evening. Top deck available for great unobstructed views and lower decks if you want to get out of the wind for a bit. Great crew and a well stocked gift shop. We had a very good time. Family friendly too!!

What fun to be on the water with Ben and Carlito! We saw the best sunset on the gulf, enjoyed the dolphins swimming along side, and all the birds!! They shared all their knowledge of the area, enhancing our experience in the best way.

I am temporarily using a walker so my experience was a bit different. The 2-man crew helped my husband with getting me onto the boat from the dock- easy w/their hands and strong arms. The ride was smooth, also important for people with medical conditions. We saw some dolphins on the way back. Upon arrival at Cayo Costa, the crew again helped me navigate steps onto the dock. The boardwalk went approx 2/3 of the way to the actual beach. The path was loose sand, but the walker worked. One of the crew goes to the beach with the guests in case of emergency. The beach experience is what we make of it, and our family had a great time snorkeling and walking the beach. It was a very short time ON the beach. 2 hrs flies by. We packed quite alot of stuff, but family managed it. Then, back to the boat! Again, the crew helped me get onto the boat. They were very kind and made everyone feel comfortable. They had a cooler of liquid refreshments. Every client looked happy and peaceful on the way back and some had pretty full shell bags. McCarthy's Marina staff were ALL kind and I recommend this.

Wow! These guys were awesome! We did a half day trip to Cayo Costa the boat ride out we listened to music and had the opportunity to see some dolphins! We were starstruck riding out to the island with a shark wrestler who was in Shark Tank. It was amazing!! We found a bunch of large shells and sand dollars. Such a great experience. Much love from Kentucky!!!
