Banyan Charters - Marco Island, Florida

Jaimi Storm

Austin was a great Captain. He was knowledgeable about the area and flexible to accommodate our group and the variety of interests we wanted to see. The boat was comfortable, clean; the experience was 10/10. Highly recommended! Highlight of our vacation and would book again with Banyan if returning to Marco Island.

We used Banyan Charters with Captain Austin and his little first mate Ari before and he doesn't disappoint. Coast Guard Approved boat, a quick run down on the boat, safety gear and life preservers, we were set on a four hour fun day of amazing shelling on a private island, just one of the 10,000 island in the Marco Island area, tons of dolphins and two awesome water spouts in the distance in the ocean. Highly recommend this fun charter.

Austin customized his Billion Dollar Sunset cruise to include shelling on a deserted island! He found lots of dolphins and also gave us a great overview of Marco Island’s history.

Great communication, roomy and comfortable boat, just an amazing time!

Lovely evening ride with Austin. Manatees, hundreds if not thousands of birds, and playful dolphins chasing the boat. Mother Nature was cranky mid day..we were thrilled to end our day with a glorious sunset. Austin provided the right mix of educational and fun banter. Highly recommend for your party of 6 or less.

We had a great time shelling and searching for dolphins. Got to see a manatee which was super cool. My kids can’t stop telling people all the fun facts that Captain Austin taught them. Especially those yellow leaves on the mangroves! ?

My Family and I had an incredible time out with Captain Austin! He is very knowledgeable of the island as well as the wildlife! We were able to see manatees and dolphins. It was simply breathtaking. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience nature at its best and island life! Can’t wait to come back again next year! Thank you captain Austin and his co-captain (this lil guy below) for the amazing memories!

We had so much fun. Found Captain Austin by searching online. We decided to go for a sunrise dolphin cruise. We saw lots of dolphins and birds and were able to take lots of great pictures. Captain Austin is so knowledgeable and provided information for the area and also the dolphins/birds. We had a great time and we highly recommend that you book him for a private cruise. We definitely will. Thank you Captain Austin.
