Sunset Tours
Marco Island faces west over the Gulf, which means sunset from the water is hard to beat. Tours run year-round on everything from pontoons and sailboats to private charters, and most routes pass through dolphin territory on the way out. Some include drinks and light food, others keep it simple. It’s one of the most popular activities on the island for a reason. Here are the operators running sunset cruises from Marco Island.
