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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Barron was an amazing guide. Very friendly and patient explaining how to drive the boats and answering all of our questions!

We had a beautiful day on the water! The boats are fun to drive with great guides! Found cool shells on our adventure to a little island!

Baron did a great job getting us around and making sure everyone had a chance to be in the first position. The mangroves were gorgeous and the riding on the open sea was awesome. Found some beautiful shells on the private island. Thanks for a great experience, Barin.

It was a fun morning. The boats were comfortable and it’s a great way to go through the mangroves and be on the water. Would totally recommend.

It was a fun little ride through the mangroves. The self-driven boats have to stay in a line behind their guide the entire trip so there isn’t a lot of freedom to explore…but understandably since each craft costs about $30,000. My husband drove and said the boat was fun to drive. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any wildlife other than some birds. Our guide, Barron, was really nice and made the trip enjoyable.
