Capt Ron’s Awesome Everglades Adventures

Captain Ron is the real deal. Don’t rent from anyone else in Marco Island for a jet ski adventure. He is super personable and gives clear straightforward instruction on how to operate a jet ski. The ride was lengthy and he stops when dolphins are encountered and follows them along so you get to see them up close (but always safely). His Yamaha wave runners are top notch and in excellent condition. Ours had plenty of power and handled 2 very large adults with no problem.nnHe is professional and safe and friendly! This is the guide service you should be chartering with. Highly recommend Ron and his service.

We did extensive research before booking with Captain Ron and are so glad we did! We were a party of 8 with 4 adults and 4 teens. The tour meets at Caxambas Park on Marco Island and begins with a thorough but efficient safety briefing. We were all fitted for comfortable life jackets and assigned to what appeared to be brand new top of the line skis. Sitting on the jet ski, we were backed into the water on a trailer and one by one instructed on how to orient to the ski and practice using the controls. Once on the water it was immediately obvious that the ski was not a typical rental. The seats were “stadium style” with a low back for each rider. Important to note because these were very powerful machines and that extra feature made us feel much more secure in the seat when accelerating. Ron himself led us out into the bay and reinforced all the tips and rules we needed to follow to stay safe. After that we were off! He led us on an exhilarating ride through the beautiful ten thousand island nature preserve. As we got more acclimated and comfortable our speed increased and it was a serious rush to glide over the water, slowing and stopping to take in dolphins, the famous “Dome House” and many beautiful birds and habitats. For the teens, this was no boring slow putt through the water - we were moving! We’ve rented jet skis before and these machines were in a completely different class. Comfortable, smooth and VERY powerful. Ron expertly led us to beautiful spots that we would have been hard pressed to find on our own. By the end of the trip, all of us were sun kissed and grinning. We already decided that we’ll book again next time we’re on Marco. Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Captain Ron is all about safety and did a wonderful job teaching us how to use the jet skis! My family had such a great time and our experience was a great value for the money! I highly recommend this experience with Captain Ron - thank you so much for today!

This was the most amazing experience ever!! Worth every penny and more! Rj was our tour guide and he was simply perfect from start to finish. Very detailed with instructions and throughout the tour taught us so much about the domes, to dolphins, to shells to the Everglades. Everything we passed and went by he offered up great information or a story. It seriously was the best!! I can’t even pick our favorite part. I’ve always wanted to see dolphins, so of course I was over the moon when Rj led us to a HUGE maternal pod and got them to interact with us. And they just kept popping up! From there we cruised through the Everglades and it felt like we were in a scene of a movie! We can’t wait to do this again on our next trip to Marco Island!! This place is the best!

Crazy flamingo is my go to spot! Love the clam pot, pizziola, oreganata and wings! Awesome staff! Awesome place!
