The operation
A couple’s plan from 2012, on the water since 2015
The About page says Chris Reilly and his wife Sole began researching a Marco Island watersports company in 2012 while both worked in local hospitality, and opened in 2015. Chris holds a master captain’s license and a master diver certificate; he spent childhood summers fishing the Marco backwaters with his grandfather. Sole, an industrial designer, shaped the brand.
The site says captains are employed rather than subcontracted and are drug and alcohol tested. Tours leave Goodland Boat Park at 750 Palm Point Drive; the sunset eco tour leaves Caxambas Marina on the south end of Marco. Reviewers name Captains Lloyd, Elliot and Colleen.
“As local owners and employees, our commitment to the community runs deep.”
