Planning a Marco Island pontoon boat rental? Our boats depart from our Naples dock, and the cruise south toward Marco Island is one of the most scenic boat trips in Southwest Florida. Along the way you pass Gordon Pass, the beaches of Keewaydin Island and the mangrove shorelines of the Rookery Bay area.
Please note: we do not have a dock on Marco Island. Every rental starts and ends at our Naples dock.
Why Rent a Pontoon for Your Marco Island Trip
- Skip the beach parking and causeway traffic and arrive by water.
- Stop at Keewaydin Island on the way for swimming and shelling.
- Keep an eye out for dolphins, manatees and wading birds in the backwaters.
- Choose your own route and pace for the day.
Tips for a Marco Island Boat Day
- Book a full day. Marco Island is a longer run from Naples, so a full-day (8-hour) rental gives you time to get there, explore and come back without rushing.
- Pick a larger boat for open water. Our 23-foot 2025 Godfreys handle the Gulf side more comfortably.
- Check the weather and wind before you go; we are happy to help you choose the best route on the day.
- Respect no-wake and manatee zones, which are common around Marco Island and Naples Bay.
- First time on these waters? Ask us about a captain.
