Planning your visit

Where do I park for my boat tour?

Our boat tours depart from Goodland Boating Park, 750 Palm Point Drive, Goodland, FL 34140. Daily vehicle parking is $10. Follow the payment instructions on the posted QR-code signs. Vehicles displaying a valid Collier County Resident Beach Parking Permit are exempt from the daily vehicle-parking fee. Check the posted signs and your booking confirmation for current instructions.

How early should we arrive?

Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure for check-in. Late arrival may reduce your tour time or cause you to miss the departure. Complete your waivers in advance and allow time for parking.

Do I need to sign waivers before arriving?

Yes. Use the waiver link in your booking confirmation email. Each adult must sign their own waiver; a parent or legal guardian signs for minors. Please finish these before you arrive, as limited cell service at the marina can slow check-in.

How long are the boat tours?

Our boat experiences range from two to eight hours, depending on the tour or private arrangement. Many popular outings last two to three hours. Check your selected experience for its total duration, which includes boat travel and any beach stops.

Weather & cancellations

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel at least 48 hours before departure for a full refund. Within 48 hours, guest cancellations are not refundable, but we are happy to help with rescheduling. If we cancel for unsafe weather and you cannot reschedule, we issue a full refund.

What happens if it rains?

A brief Florida shower may not prevent the tour from operating. Your captain assesses the actual conditions and may adjust the route, delay departure or reschedule when necessary. Please contact us if you have questions about your departure rather than assuming it is cancelled.

What happens if there is lightning or high wind?

Nearby lightning or unsafe winds can lead to a delay, route change or cancellation. Your captain makes the operating decision based on conditions. We do not operate tours during nearby lightning.

What if weather cuts my tour short?

If weather ends your tour before the halfway point, you may qualify for a partial refund. After more than half the tour has been completed, refunds are not available; instead, we can offer an opportunity to return on another day, subject to availability. Contact our team about the arrangements for your specific trip.

Comfort on board

Are there any age restrictions?

All ages are welcome, including infants who weigh at least 20 pounds under our company safety policy. Our crew must be able to provide and properly fit a suitable U.S. Coast Guard-approved infant life jacket before departure. Please tell us about infants when booking.

Are children required to wear life jackets?

On our U.S. Coast Guard-inspected tour boats, children are not routinely required to wear life jackets while underway in normal conditions. Properly sized, approved life jackets are available, and parents may choose to have children wear them.

What should I bring on a boat tour?

Bring water shoes, polarized sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and a camera. For a longer outing, consider sandwiches, snacks or a picnic-style lunch. A light jacket or sweatshirt is useful in cooler months. Check your chosen tour for any additional recommendations.

Are food and drinks provided?

Complimentary bottled water and a cooler with ice are provided. You are welcome to bring snacks and your favorite beverages, including adult beverages. Please choose cans or plastic containers instead of glass.

Is there shade on the boats?

Yes. Our tour boats have covered passenger seating that provides shade during the ride.

Is there a restroom on the boat?

Our boats do not have onboard restrooms. Please use the marina’s restroom facilities before departure.

Is gratuity included in the price?

Gratuity is not included in your booking. Tips are always appreciated by our captains, guides, crew and rental team. If you would like to leave a tip, cash is recommended.
