Goooooooood mornin' everyone! Summertime's just around the corner and there's no better way to spend time with family and friends than being on a boat surrounded by these amazing dolphins.

Gooooooooooood morning SWFL!!

Season is here and I am booking charters so spread the word - I am still operating from Gulf Star Marina that has made significant headway with recovering from Hurricane Ian, and I couldn't be more excited and more thankful for everything that team has done over the past 5 months, it really is amazing work.

Book today!

Good morning everyone and a happy post Thanksgiving Monday -
The marina is working around the clock to get us on the water as soon as possible, maybe Christmas time in fact. I am currently taking reservations for the holidays and next year.
Be well everyone, take care of each other.

Hello everyone -
I'm not posting any pictures of destruction, there's been enough of that already.
Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel were rocked by Hurricane Ian, a mammoth CAT4 storm that covered Southwest Florida's barrier islands in some places with over 17 feet of seawater, ruining homes, business and taking lives.
It is with heavy heart to say that I, my family and property and boat made it through Ian with minimal damage, in fact the boat is safely stored in Gulf Star Marine without as much as a scratch. I can't say the same for many of my friends and colleagues that lost everything from homes to businesses and sadly even loved ones.
There has been an overwhelming response from past clients reaching out to me personally to check in and make sure that I am doing well. THANK YOU!!!
I do not have a set date to start operating again, the Coast has just recently lifted it's order keeping us all safe and off the waterways, they are in fact very dangerous being filled with an unbelievable amount of debris including entire homes, some of the debris is totally submerged.
There are no hotels, no AirBNB, no place for visitors to enjoy a nice cocktail with family and friends. We are struggling to support our community let alone hosting visitors, the infrastructure has collapsed.
As of this moment I'm not sure what the outcome of SWFL Dolphin & Eco Tours will be, I try to stay optimistic knowing that it will be a long time before our community is ready to host visitors and start getting our lives and businesses up and running.
Thank you all for your support and the best thing for the world to do for us is send your positive energy - that will be most appreciated!
Until then stay tuned for more info.
Thanks again everyone - stay safe and be well. 🐬

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood 🐬
Simply cannot beat the occasion up close and personal dolphin encounters, I always see them on tours but rarely get interaction like this huge pod of all ages off of Lovers Key.

We were very fortunate to have stumble over this group of super friendly dolphins in the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve. Two groups engaging in totally different behaviors within such close proximity, man I love this place 🤙🐬
