This was our 3rd time with Cool Beans but by far the best! We did the private sunset cruise with Captain Margo - she was fantastic! She is very knowledgeable about the area so we saw all kinds of wildlife and popular spots. She even had a dolphin play with us & jump through our wake! So cool!! To end our evening, she put us in the perfect place to watch a sensational sunset. This was such a wonderful memory for our family. This trip couldn't have been better! We will most definitely book with them again!

Bobby was a great tour guide, he was very informative about the area and about the Everglades and I left that tour knowing a lot more about the Everglades. I would give Bobby a 12 out of a 10 rating

What an awesome experience! This is our 4th time on this boat. We love all the employees, but especially the captain of lil' beans this time! Sedrick was amazing!!! He is so knowledgeable about the rules of boating, the behavior of the dolphins and where to go on Keewaydin. We had a wonderful time!! We will request him next time too!! We had two grandchildren with us (13 + 9) and I was a little worried about how they would feel about the trip. They were TOTALLY engaged - asking questions and taking pictures!! We stayed on the island for about 90 mins; the kids swam in the ocean, and we collected a lot of shells. It was so FUN! I highly recommend this cruise!

We just wanted to tell you all how much our party of 6 enjoyed our pontoon sunset cruise this past Tuesday, April 9th! Our captain was Cedric and he was the best! His knowledge of the area was excellent and we enjoyed being on the water with him and learning all he had to offer! Such a knowledgeable and delightful man--just excellent in every way! Also our reservation experience with Sean was very professional and friendly! The entire experience with Cool Beans Cruises was just what we were looking for. It was a pleasure to do business with you and we will recommend you to any and all we know that visit the area.

Captain Dave was excellent! We enjoyed a lovely trip exploring Marco Island homes and Big Marco Pass. We loved the relaxed and knowledgeable approach by Captain Dave, making it a wonderful experience for our whole family!

Informative captain! He knew the area well! We saw many active dolphins and Many species of birds made it a great tour! We loved the short walk from the boat to the shelling in the Gulf. Comfortable seating & cold drinks made for the perfect day. Also, nice recommendation for lunch after at the Gypsy Cafe! We loved the atmosphere & the food!

The six of us had a lovely time on the private 2 hour pontoon boat Sunset Cruise. Jerry was a knowledgeable and friendly captain. We enjoyed seeing the abundant number of birds. I would highly recommend this boating experience.

Would highly recommend Cool Beans cruise and captain Jerry!! Jerry took his time to give us an amazing tour and lots of history. We seen a bunch of dolphins and wildlife. Very down to earth and made all of us feel welcome and comfortable aboard the cruise! Definitely do a tour with these guys!!

Captain Dave was great! Very informative. Spending time on island was very relaxing. Wasn’t planning on bringing back shells but couldn’t resist as they were beautiful.

We are doing this again…The entire process from booking to check-in to arrival was seamless. The whole operation is well-run, Captain Dave was the utmost professional- kind, knowledgeable, prioritized safety and made sure we had a really great charter. The sights, wildlife, local lore and anecdotes + all of the information gleaned from asking about 3288272 questions from animal habitats to real estate questions all made for an incredible night. Did I mention the sunset and the scenery?? Hot tip- you can book a double or an all day charter. We booked a 2 hour which was fab but might do a double next time and try a different route. This boat was also accommodating to people of all ages…My 81 year old Dad has some mobility issues and I always fear embarking and disembarking. The boat is on a lift so level with the dock so you don’t have to do a giant step up or down on unfamiliar stairs- a huge win!!! Do yourself a favor and book and buckle up for an incredible night viewing the isle of capri/marco/keewaydin.
