Captain Joe and Pam were fantastic. We did an Independence Day fireworks tour. Toured around first. Saw the sunset. Amazing way to view them. They got us back safely in the dark.

Boat was packed full! Says it holds 38 people and that’s how many were on we were shoulder to shoulder little room to live, some were standing. I felt like it was over packed. Hair was cle as b d as me the ride was nice and smooth. My fault o guess I didn’t really well enough but disappointed that we didn’t act tho into the open ocean waters just the bay. It says in the description there’s a narrative of wildlife and such along the way, we never heard one word from the captain or other person working in the boat. We only saw a glimpse of 1 dolphin :(. Sunset was gorgeous though! Can take your own food and drinks that was nice. We had our family of 10 and it cost us alot, I don’t think I’d recommend this for the price and what you get. I was kind of disappointed:(

We had a great experience out on Sarasota Bay. We have rented kayaks from many different locations over the past couple years. These kayaks were the best that we have seen - and we've seen some that were pretty low quality. They have detachable seats in them that are much more comfortable than any other kayak we've rented.

Blake and Lauren were a great crew! They were super informative and entertaining. Our family had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We saw dolphins and manatees and just enjoyed being together. Thanks!

An absolute pleasure working with Nicole and Captain Joe (who both went above and beyond) for a 20 guest boat excursion! Food provided by Marker 38 was excellent, they are very flexible and easy to work with- We had so much fun, we got married at the same time! Don't hesitate!!

My fiance and I went with Lauren and Andrew and it was a blast! We saw plenty of dolphins and they did a great job keeping everyone entertained and educated about the wildlife/area. I'm definitely bringing any future guests with us on this tour!

We took our 15 year old daughter and niece on the sunset & dolphin tour on Mother’s Day. It was a really nice time! Both Lauren and Blake were knowledgeable about the surroundings! They spotted both dolphins and manatees and stopped for us to see them. Lauren was very nice and offered to take pictures of us.
I must say we live nearby in Venice and have been on another fun sunset and dolphin tour off of Stickney Point Rd in Sarasota but hands down we prefer Marker 38! We loved that it was a brand new boat, it wasn’t packed, and it had a real bathroom! We also loved that we got a much longer ride than on the other fun boat because Marker 38 leaves out of Osprey and goes to the same spot as the other boat which is where Siesta Key ends and South Lido picks up versus leaving out of Stickney Point. It’s a no brainer,,, new boat, less crowded, real bathroom, and longer ride! I almost hate to write this so it doesn’t get super busy but I also want them to stick around! You should take this tour it’s wonderful!
One other quick thing to note… they had water, beer, wine, & a few seltzers for their complimentary beverages! Score - we thought it was going to be water and pop!
