Isles of Capri Marina Reviews

happy peopel all around. Pleasant little bar/restuarant with good service. i woudl recommend this little place.

Nothing out of the ordinary-needed lunch before going out on the water and it served it's purpose.....

If your looking to rent a boat this is the place to go. Mike the owner is a great guy and provides all the instruction you'll need to operate your boat. We took the four hour rental and drove to Keewaydin Island near Marco. We parked the boat on the island and walked the Long Beach. Great weather and lots of shells. Very popular place to walk, have lunch or just relax. The boat ride from the marina to Keewaydin Island is approximately 35 minutes. You travel through the back water near Marco and see all kinds of wild life. Great adventure for people who love the water. Double thumbs up from me. I would do this again very soon.

we were charged $35.00 for 4hours use they said they have to guess at your fuel usage so they just charge everyone $35 bucks all other marinas I have used fill up tank at end and adjust bill when I asked about fuel charge I was told they do not want my business. poor business people and grumpy Rose and Walker marinas are much more fair and pleasant .

My wife and I rented the boat for the afternoon, and we really enjoyed the beautiful wildlife we were able to see.We got to see numerous dolphins, pelicans and other birds. We even saw a manatee and a sea turtle. The only thing that could have made this day better would be if the owner gave us better directions. He sort of just haphazardly and disinterestedly told us where to go, but it didn't really work out, so we just drove around. He also took at least six calls while he was supposed to be showing us how to use things, and he took three calls when he was supposed to be ringing us up, so we had to sit through him being on the phone, which seemed a little rude. Overall, it was a good experience being out on the water, and the boat was pretty reliable except for the fact that the speedometer didn't work.

This place has come along way. Years ago we visited it and it was not really that memorable (perhaps we were off-season, I can't recall). This time we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly, they served nice craft beers, the water-side seats are excellent and the food was good. I would recommend a visit here for lunch or a drink on a nice warm day.

Food was average. Great location & decent service. Go for location, but not for the food. Typical bar menu

Nice and easy to rent a pontoon. Good map, good location. Easy loading area with close parking. Nice boats

Charles was a great guy to deal with. He was humorous and was very helpful in the instructions on the pontoon operation. We found this to be the most reasonable boat rental. Highly recommend

No, they are not on Marco Island, but only a 10-15 minute drive. We rented a pontoon boat for the afternoon. Being "off-season," they were very accomdating with our 4 hour time frame. Family owned/operated, very friendly. We checked around, asked several locals for recommendations, and decided on Isles of Capri Marina. Very glad we did!

We stayed at Marco Island for a week and renting at boat at the Isles of Capri Marina was the best thing we did the whole time we were there. The boat was relatively new and very clean. I saw a few other boats for rent elsewhere and they looked very run down. The price was reasonable as well. While we were out boating around the bays we enjoyed dolphins, awesome beaches that were boat only access, and even saw a manatee. We stopped in several lagoons and swam from the boat. This was so much fun. If you do make it to Marco Island this is a must do!

First and foremost, this marina is close to my favorite Fish Restaurant, Pelican Bend. They have the best sauteed fish ion the WEorld, asnd their creamy garlic dressing to die for. Now back to the marina. Away from the hustle bustle of marco, and a scenic boat ride to get there.

If you are looking for the best rental deal for a pontoon look no further mike and Charlie take pride in what they do. Their fleet of boats are clean and well maintained. And a plus side is when your done boating you can grab a quick bite at the island gypsy.

We took our kids and granchildren on two pontoon boats for the morning. We went to a beach and did some serious shelling finding beautiful shells. Then a picnic and back on the water for manatees and dolphins. At one point we were surrounded by dolphins for about 20 minutes. It was magical. We also enjoyed some fishing, bring your rods as you can by bait by the Snook Inn. WIll do it again next year.

We are staying at Marco Island for six weeks vacation. We decided to explore and found the Isles of Capri Marina - in particular we found the Isles of Capri Restaurant very pleasant - it was not busy - the food was good and the staff attentive. Great value stop off and we would recommend it to anyone!

Rented a pontoon boat from Isle of Capri Marina, full day. Mike was great, friendly, professional, helpful. Boat worked great, no issues. We spent the day at Keewaydin Island, great day.

We called early in the morning to see if they had any boats and they assured us there would be one available. When we arrived the man at the desk promptly gave us instructions and gave us a $20 discount when we asked. We were off and on our way in about 15 minutes with detailed maps and instructions on where we could go! We decided to first head to Naples bay and look at all of the houses by the water. He had suggested to do that and boy was it cool! The houses on the bay are one of a kind and after we were done there, we docked off at Naples Boat house for some lunch. They told us we had to eat outside because one person in our party was wearing a tank top. After leaving lunch, we headed over to Keewaydin island. When you get to the island, you run your boat into the sand and anchor it in. We then went over to the gulf side and swam for awhile. You see lots of fish and on the tuesday we went, there was not a single person on the gulf side!! It is like having your own private island. The sand is white with minimal shells and the ocean is much clearer. We headed back from there and cruised around a little bit longer before heading back to the marina. We got back right on time and the man was there once again to help us unload the boat. Overall a great experience and would recommend this place to anyone.

PS: The boats themselves are very nice and new. Ours had bluetooth, USB, and AUX inputs. We listened to the radio most of the time, but did check that all the others worked. Boat was very spacious and easy to navigate!! We also did the full day from 8-4:30 and it cost $314 for gas and all taxes included.

Second time we have rented from this family. Great pontoon boats. Good instructions on how to get to the island for shelling. Dolphins visible several times on our excursion. The pontoons are clean, large and a great way to putter around

As a recommendation we had dinner at Pelican Bend restaurant, which was excellent! They had the largest oysters we've ever seen!

Wasn't sure how to get into the marina. Gave them a call about a mile out in the Gulf and got nice local knowledge to navigate in.

The food was absolutely wonderful. The special of the day was so good. Best fish I had ever had. Besides the food being great, atmosphere was great as well. Very good service as well.

neat place to go on a sunny day for drinks by the water . Great barmaid who is friendly and is enjoyable to talk to service is always good and good views

The Isle of Capri is off the main road into Marco,Island. It is very a very quiet and quaint location with a very adequate marina for the size of the location. Boats are moored there and there is provision for launch as well. There are bars and restaurants on the foreshore where people survey the boats and also the bar across the water. Particularly beautiful lit up at night and well worth a visit if visiting the area.

We found this place because we wanted to kayak in the area north of Collier Blvd in the Rookery Bay area. We weren't looking for much - and GOT LESS!

We dealt with a 50+ year old male (might have been the owner) and his attitude was terrible! Looked like he wished we hadn't bothered him with our interest in renting 2 kayaks!

On our return, met us at their dock - never asked us if we enjoyed ourselves - in fact tried to avoid talking to us at all!

I did not rate this at the lowest level because the kayaks were OK - they worked.

With all of the other alternatives - I suggest that you find someone else to provide your rental. Perhaps you'll find someone who at least gives a damn - but you won't find that here.

great people. only point we would make is, if like us, you had no previous ocean boating experience, be careful out there and keep to the LEFT!!!!

We hired a boat for the afternoon of NYE. We had a wonderful time. The boat was clean and well maintained and the staff gave us good information on where to visit. We found some beautiful beaches and had dolphins swimming alongside us. We enjoyed it that much that we have booked to go again.

Every time we visit Marco Island we always make it a point to rent a boat or pontoon from the marina. They have very well kept boats and competitive prices for rentals.

I have actually only been here for lunch but the atmosphere and views of the marina are so nice. Food is pretty good, drinks are strong and the service has been great. There are a few tables under the bar area, but most are on the deck. There are lots of umbrellas but often in the late afternoon it’s hard for everyone to have shade and it gets hot. The whole restaurant is outside. We go back every time we’re here because of the location. It’s just a fun place to eat and/or drink!

By far the best staff, price, and boats in the area! Don't waist your time renting from anyone else in the area. Always friendly, helpful, and caring. They are also very knowable about the area and will help anyone have a great day on the water!

We visited Pelican Bent twice during our week long stay. Both time I ordered their catch of day which is always, whitefish. It is sautéed and served with a salad and vegetable. The restaurant sits on the water and is very casual. The first night the whitefish was some of the best I ever had but the second visit it was a bit disappointing. There was less flavor to the fish and I left somewhat disappointed. Overall though I would recommend the restaurant as our group of 7 was satisfied each time.

Easy place to deal with. Called the week before to make reservations for a pontoon boat. When we arrived, boat was all ready to go. Quick explanation of how the boat operates and overview of detailed map on how to get to Keewaydin Island, and we were on our way. Boat was in great shape. We saw lots of osprey nests and even saw dolphins swimming on our way back. We were a few minutes late getting back (due to the dolphin sighting!), but there was no extra charge. Easy and nice to do business with!

We have rented a boat from Isles of Capri Marina for years and we continue to come back. The boats are in great shape, the service is exceptional and the location is perfect for fishing and sightseeing. They make the experience of keeping the boat at our rental property and having it the entire time we are on vacation the answer for us. If you are going to rent a boat -this is the place to come. Be sure to reserve your boat ahead of time. There is nothing like a boat ride on Christmas Day!

Super little beach bar and dockside restaurant.All the food is very good. We go every visit to Marco Island.You sit right next to the marina with a nice view. Owner and his sons are present and very attentive. Give it a try, you will like it. Shorts and T-shirt is the attire, very casual.

We like renting from this place. The pontoons have decent radios and they are in good shape. Not to mention - you can end your fun day on the water at the Island Gypsy next door! The owner guy is nice. We like renting here.

Nice Marina, clean organized and easy in and out. Should offer a better eating area for light food and drink.

Well priced compared to many hire boats. The boats are all modern, and we always find them very efficient - well recommended.

This was our favorite lunch spot, nice and sunny in the deck or you have the choice of a covered area. Meal was wonderful,,,,we had a nice variety and shared. Grouper special was spectacular.....they make a mean margarita....would have had another but was early in the day while there..lots on the menu to choose from..

Efficient service; they got us out on the boat quickly, giving good instructions and map. Boat was clean. Very enjoyable!

Lovely place to have a great meal. It won't be "the best" you've ever had, but the food is good, the wait staff pleasant and the entertainment and ambiance make for a really fun experience. It's not for a romantic evening out, but a Sunday afternoon by the water with fun food is more like it

We rented boats their twice while in Marco Island. The boats were nice, the owners were nice, and the price was nice. If you do nothing else on your trip to Marco or nearby area, rent a boat here! You must go to Coconut Island, it is not far from the marina, and there shelling was great. It was also really private.

We have had a great visit to Marco but this was the icing on the cake. Rustic, not fancy, outstanding friendly service and terrific food. If like us you are visiting and staying with friends make sure you visit here, also very good Bloody Mary. The views are a bonus

Customer service was awesome! The rental price was reasonable. Very helpful and made sure we had maps.

We vacationed at the Isles of Capri the middle of May and while there rented a pontoon boat for a full day from the Marina. The staff was extremely personable and I was provided with great instructions on operating the boat. I was also provided with perfect directions on how to reach an island beach we wanted to visit. The beach and the trip there were fantastic. There were 7 in our group, including a 4 year old and a 14 month old. We had plenty of room on the boat, were very comfortable, and were thrilled watching the dolphins swimming near our boat. We had such a good time that we did it again the following day!

The best experience kayaking (for novices), our guide was very knowledgeable and patient with us. Ask for Pete.

We rented a boat for the day from this marina--it was the best thing we have ever done. For 15+ years we have gone to Marco Island for vacation, and this year we decided to try this...now we wish we had done it every year. The people at the marina were very helpful and made planning what we wanted to do easy. They were friendly and were ready with all the details when we arrived. The experience could not have been better.

Great vibe, outstanding service albeit a little pricey. Food was just above average. Wine list was very complete

Great way to spend a day or half a day. We rented a pontoon boat from this marina 11/15 for a half day and had a marvelous time. Given that the Season is not in full swing, the owner agreed to a later start which worked with our schedule.

On a half day option, you can either take the boat and head to 1) restaurants or 2) somewhat remote beaches close to the Gulf. We opted for the beaches, but decided to get some sandwiches at the onsite restaurant and bar. We had an absolutely marvelous time. The boat was in new, in good order and fit the group of 5 with lots of room to spare. It provides shade protection and has coolers and underseat storage that were both clean. The boat is easy to drive and they have a laminated map to help you navigate thru the channels which are well marked.

We pulled onto the beach, set the anchor and then walked across the spit to the ocean where we beach combed and enjoyed the view of Marco Island to the South or the ocean and nothing to the North given the curve of the land/sea. There were several other boats doing the same thing and everyone was having fun.

Our lunch was good, with various lobster, shrimp salads, and we had boiled shrimp (big and juicy--definitely recommend).

We saw dolphins and various birds along the way. Upon return, there is a full bar/restaurant in the marina and also bathrooms and a shower to get freshened up. We didn't have time for the bar, but that would have been a great way to finish off the trip.

Pricing is reasonable and only thing I would do again is make sure I had the time for a FULL DAY.

I hesitate to review this place, because I don't want to have to compete with too many people in the future renting boats here.

This is where we rent pontoon boats and go to Keewaydin Island and hangout.

It is less expensive than renting on Marco Island. It is convenient and more affordable.

We have rented a boat for the day every year for about a decade and have had consistently excellent service. Boats are clean and ready and waiting. Charlie and Mike are friendly helpful and aim to make your day a great one. We don't even shop around just go back year after year. Highly recommend!

I checked prices, and Isle of Capri Marina had the best that I could find in the area ($185 for half day). Their boats were in good shape, and Mike was very helpfull in getting us set up and on our way. He was also very flexible on schedule, telling us not to worry if we were 30 minutes late getting back.

We cruised to Keewaydin Island which was very easy to find with the maps provided. What a great island! We pulled up right on the inlet side of the beach, swam in the crystal clear water, then a short walk accross to the gulf, where we swam some more!

A fantastic half day out which I thoroughly recommend, topped of with a frozen drink at the Island Gypsy (right next to the marina) when we got back!

After reading the reviews here, we rented from Isles of Capri and were very happy with the price, service and simplicity of the whole transaction.

There's a little trick to getting out of the marina and into the main waterways of Marco -- but if you can follow the buoys out you should be all set. Don't worry -- just go with no wake and you'll be all set.

We checked out the marina to learn about the boat rentals and were impressed with the young owner, Mike. He answered our questions in a confident, friendly manner. We reserved a pontoon for the next afternoon and we were not disappointed. There were three couples in our party - the pontoon could probably accommodate 8 adults comfortably. Had a beautiful time on the water- will definitely do this again. Note: none of us had previous boating experience but were comfortable after a brief instruction!

We drove all the way from Miami. The place, the drinks, the food and specially the service exceeded all our expectations. Our server; Max was super helpful and in fact..I wish I could give him and the place in general more than 5 stars. It was truly a enjoyable experience.

nice surrounding but the grouper was just ok and the service was weak.... the view was ok but the dock blocks the sunset ... bummer

This place is fantastic....spoke to Mike who is the king of "relaxed efficiency." The entire process was so smooth...paperwork and payment processing minutes and we were on our way to cocoa beach and even had time to go to CJ's on the bay for an appetizer and refreshment....pricing very reasonable for a wonderful afternoon out on the water.... Highly recommend!!!!

I don't know why this isn't the #1 Thing to Do on Marco Island.
Found this boat rental here on trip advisor. I looked online and realized that although I was staying near tigertail beach this marina is only 10 minutes away.
I compared the prices to other boat rentals in the area. This is by far the best place to rent a boat in Marco Island.
The marina is so easy to get to. Basically one road gets you there.
Anyway, as far as boat rentals go, this is definitely the place to use. Our boat was SPOTLESS, had a lot of life jackets. Easy to drive, neither of us had ever driven a boat before.
We were not "in the scheduled" times they rent so we called the Captain and he said it wasn't a problem in the summer to just come down and we would be fine.
He let us borrow his personal cooler because ours broke. He sold us bait right there so we didn't have to go somewhere else.
He tried to give us directions and some supposedly easy to follow map but we still got lost, lol. That was totally our fault though, poor Charlie was giving us the easy directions but each of us thought the other was paying attention.
So we got back on track, we stopped to fish. Caught some salt water catfish. Extreme caution, apparently they have toxic stingers. Do not try to realease them, you have to cut the line.
Then we went to the beach Captain sent us to. Bunch of boats anchored into the sand. The kids loved this. There was a gentle current that was like a lazy river that landed you on the other side into the gulf of Mexico. This was the highlight. The kids loved the beach on the other side. The water was warm and beautiful.
We loved cruising through the bays. didn't get to see any dolphin though.
Once again, we didn't pay attention and got stuck on a sandbar but since it's a pontoon boat we jumped out and easily pushed the boat a couple of feet back into the channel. It really wasn't a big deal, acutally quite an adventure.
We had a great time and will do it again, maybe pay better attention to the directions.

Nice place with charming outdoor bamboo hut dining. Good food but way overpriced. Most entrees are $32-$36. Try at lunch it might be better.

We rented a pontoon to go to Keewaydin Island and cruise the backwaters. These guys got us in and out quickly. We had experienced boat pilots aboard, but if you're not the low traffic out of this marina is nice. Highly recommended and will return.

Absolutely awesome day on Coconut island thanks to the excellent folks at Isle of Capri Marina. We rent pontoons from Port Charlotte to Naples when we have out of state visitors and today Gerry from the marina gave us great insight on the best spots for shelling and seeing amazing dolphins and manatees, he did not fail. ...thank you Gerry we will be back!!😁👍🌴

best sauteed grouper anywhere also lover the frog legs staff was wonderful and cant wait to go back and relax at the outdoor bar

Had a fantastic time renting a pontoon boat from Isles of Capri Marina. We did an afternoon at Keywadin and had a great time swimming and shelling. Navigation was a bit difficult at times but part of the fun was getting a little lost:) Best prices and the friendliest people! Mike even gave us some yummy locally grown Capri mangoes!

Super fun with the kids and the boat has great shade!

Looking for some property to invest in, we stopped by the Isle of Capri Marina, where we enjoyed a great atmosphere, some nice food, and great service from the ladies that were running the place. Definitely a place I would make my local favorite, if I move into the area.

We have been renting boats here for day trips for the last 10 years. Wonderful operation. Boats well maintained. Friendly staff. always a pleasure.

Isles of Capri Marina has great fresh seafood - snapper,grouper and much more.

We rented a pontoon boat. It was clean and just what we asked for. Owners were very kind and gave us clear and easy instructions on what we could do and see.

These guys take better care of their boats than Rose Marina or Dolphin Cove Marina (Southwest Florida Boat Club). This is the first place that I’ve rented a boat from that was clean and didn’t have any problems.

Beautiful area and great views. Friendly people. Always a great time. A timeless charming place to visit with friends and family. People watch and relax.

We loved kayaking there, although it was a bit too long for us, especially since at one point we were kinda lost and couldn't find our way back to the dock, but other than that it is an experience I will never forget. We saw dolphins, stingray's, beautiful birds and of course manatee's. We actually saw one close and upfront, which was kinda scary, even though they are harmless. It is $ 40 for 4 hours of kayaking, so it doesn't come expensive either.

We stopped on the way to Naples, to check out the Isles of Capri Marina Restaurant and Bar. Glad we did! There is quite a lot more there than we expected. A store, marina, nice docks along the waterfront and of course the restaurant & bar..

While waiting for a table, we decided to sit at the bar for a drink, and soon discovered two friendly and very knowledgeable the bar tenders! They were cordial, efficient, and very considerate! We knew to stay seated and have our at the bar. It was all good...the plank fish sandwich basket with chips, along with some shrimp, wine, and beer. Wow, was this was fun! The other customers were very friendly and the mood upbeat and casual.

Of course the bartenders took terrific care of us, and even talked us into getting a huge piece of their famous carrot cake to go! Full and satisfied!

I knew I had to book a trip on this cruise just because of the name-Cool Beans. We took the sunset cruise that sailed out into the Gulf of Mexico. The captain provided beer, wine, soda and water for the guests. Later he brought out shrimp cocktail for us and just before sunset, we had a really nice champagne toast. Since the cruises only sail with a maximum of six people (we only had four on our cruise) the feeling is very intimate. The captain made us feel very welcome. I would do this again!

This family company Never disappoints. Totally professional and a joy to deal with.. Right from the start easy check in. Gerry is grabbing bags and carrying them aboard a pristine vessel. Safety and direction are paramount and easily understood. Hats off to Mike who makes running this business look like a breeze. It's not but he attacks this task with great passion. Thank you guys we will be back!

First time renter and novice boater and Isle of Capri staff was great. We were given great direction by the staff and we were off for a beatuiful day exploring the water ways and beachig on the boat on Keewaydin Island for a fun time shelling and floating in the water. On the way back in saw several dolphins and manatees my kids were etremmely excited. Rates were great and boat was in like new condition.I cant belive i waited so long to try this have been coming to the Marco Island area for years and this has been the greatest memory to date. Bring lots of sun screen and cooler with food. Awsome time

A super place to watch boats eat lunch or dinner have a drink a relaxing walk hire a boat watch all the sea life dolphins the odd turtle rays a beautiful spot well worth a visit.

Capt Glen is beyond a fantastic captain. We’ve been on several dozen charters over the past 10 years. We found Captain Glen to be the best ever!! He was so knowledgeable and put us on fish from the very start. Twice we had a fish on and got snagged on the mangroves and he jumped in the water to secure our catch!!! Who does that??? Very funny and friendly man. Great with both kids and adults alike. Give him a call today and you will be very happy at the end of the day.

The best experience! The guys were super friendly and quick to get us off to our adventure. Great prices and great location to get to Goodland, around Marco, and Keewaydin. Will definitely be back again!

Got to the island late and called marina, luckly they had a canculation so we did a 1/2 day rental and had a great time. They give you directions on where to go and how to operate boat, very easy so don't be intimitated. Would be great time for family. Boats are clean and newer. Give it a try you won't regret it. When your done have dinner on dock!

Beautiful, relaxing evening with great, informative captain. The beverages were a nice touch. We will do this again.

The food is ok. It is nice to sit by the water in a location a little less crowded than other restaurants in the area. Most people go to Marco Island, so this location is quieter.

Please don't let the title deter you...this is THE place to rent a pontoon boat for the afternoon (or morning). We had a great time and Jim (the staff person who helped get us going) was awesome. Everything was seamless and easy - check in, orientation, getting ready to go...like a well-oiled machine. We made our way uneventfully out from the dock. Less than 20 minutes in, jerk-disaster struck. Please note: when you rent these boats, there are people who own huge boats who think it's funny to target the tourists and try to hit you with a huge wake. Well, it happened to us. A boat turned and sped up so its wake was very large and caused a huge wave to strike the front of our boat with such force that the front door of the pontoon boat opened and one of my family members fell to the ground (everyone is OK). Everyone got soaked and one phone was ruined. Now, putting that aside, we had a wonderful afternoon out on Keewaydin Island Beach. Our return was uneventful, the staff was awesome and super friendly. We had a couple drinks at the bar and laughed it all off. We'll definitely be back....and will be better prepared for jerks.

We rented a pontoon boat and ventured up the channel to Tin Town, Naples. It was a two hour ride and we found a public dock. watch the no wake zones. The marina staff was very helpful once they knew I had a pontoon boat and directed us how to get there from here. Very professional. No complaints from us on this water adventure. Had a delicious seafood lunch on our return. A great day on the water and we saw dolphins and all kinds of birds.

We wanted to rent a boat for the day and walked into the office without any reservation and without a lot of boating experience. We were welcomed and basically had the boat a few minutes later. Not a lot of paperwork is needed here.

After a very short introduction to the boat you are good to go. The map you get is accurate enough to navigate the channels.

Returning the boat was as easy as renting it.

Thanks to the nice staff for a fun day on the water!

We had a lovely morning on a pontoon boat from Isles of Capri Marina. The Marina was 3 minutes away from where we were renting so very convenient. We were given a thorough but concise briefing on how to drive the boat, where to go, how to get out of the marina and where we could dock to enjoy the beach during our hire. Our main focus was to see dolphins and we absolutely did. Our first encounter were with a mum and her approx. 2 year old calf. They were just hanging around a particular spot and so we stayed there with them for about half an hour. It was amazing. We saw several more as we explored a bit further and then turned around to head towards the beach we'd been recommended to visit. We anchored the boat there, collected lots of beautiful seashells and saw several more dolphins playing around a little way off from the beach. The boat was easy to drive, the maps clear and helpful and we were guided into the dock by the staff on our return. It was a wonderful morning. We finished it off with a lunch at Island Gypsy which was very nice and very popular. Great cocktails!

Renting a boat or taking a trip out of this marina is cheaper than renting on Marco Island. If you have to drive to the Marina on Marco spend the extra 5 minutes and go to Isle of Capri.

loved the pontoon boat for half a day.. 4 adults, two kids.. boats are getting older.. but it was ok.. we only went as far as coconut island,, love the beach there.. perfect water and not too far. half day was not cheap but included the gas. family fun.. highly recommended.

Not going to lie, it is busy. But, food, wait staff, bar staff and hostess(s), are always friendly. They said half-hour for a table, and we sat out by the firepit patio, but we were called within 15 minutes. Food is always delicious and the atmosphere on this pier restaurant is always calm and casual. They have new stools at the bar, very sturdy!

Fun marina restaurant with really good food. World famous grouper sandwich- phenomenal. Delicious creamsicle drink and a cute patio- good service.

My family of five selected Isle of Capris Marina for our pontoon rental. We rented all day to explore Keewaydin and Naples. The staff took time to familiarize us with the boat. Most importantly they taught us how to use the maps to ensure we didn’t get lost or run upon a sandbar or end up too far into the Gulf. The boat was in good condition and got the job done. I would rent from this marina again.

We have rented from Isles of Capri Marina several times. The boats are great and the prices are reasonable. It also helps that it is only a mile away. They were very helpful with the chart and showing us the best the places to go. We will rent here again.

Loved the Florida sunshine, a light breeze, and view of some nice boats docked right there. My sis-in-law had a tennis date and we were a bit concerned about the timing, but service was prompt and efficient. Big umbrellas kept the sun out of our eyes and we focused on food. Good burgers, and a good grouper sandwich, along with most anything else you'd want for a light lunch, including some nice variety in salads. I'd go back there again in a minute!

We rented a pontoon boat for an afternoon. The online reservation was easy to complete. We received an email reminder the day before. When we arrived the staff explained the boat rental for us, we signed some papers and that is when our credit card was charged, not at the time of the reservation. We had to pay tax and a fuel rental charge of $30 for the 4 hours, which I thought was reasonable. We were able to head out to a couple of islands where we were able to drop anchor and collect shells. We brought coolers with food and drink aboard and had an amazing afternoon. I would definitely recommend this adventure!

Was looking to rent a boat for a day trip with my family. I booked my boat rental with Isles of Capri Marina, 239-389-4626. Captain Charlie was very cool and helpful. He explained everything clearly, offered clear maps of the surrounding waters and all information I would need to get around. We spent the day cruising the waters of Marco Island as dolphins swam along side our boat. We visited beautiful Keewaydin Island which is only accessible by boat and we had an awesome day finding shells, swimming and feeling like we were the only ones in the whole world.
Thanks again Captain Charlie! See you next year hopefully.

I called at 8:30 in the morning for a same-day (full-day) pontoon boat rental. Thankfully, they had boats and told us it would be no problem. I couldn't have been happier with the condition of the boat and the quality of the instructions given. Halfway into our day, a fairly large thunderstorm was approaching our area. I received a call from the boat rental office telling us about it. I didn't hear my phone ring and didn't received the message until right about the time the storm was on top of us. That was interesting and a funny story for my kids to tell. Because of the weather we headed back to the dock early and received a $40 discount because we didn't have the boat for the full day. They didn't have to do that. Excellent employees, excellent equipment, excellent company.

We sailed with Cross Cruises (239-580-8765) and had a wonderful private sunset cruise with Captain Cross. He provided a leisurely catamaran sunset cruise (departed from Isles of Capri Marina) along the coast of Marco Island. Saw dolphin up-close and personal and a sea turtle from afar. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the Marco/Naples area!

My family rented a pontoon boat yesterday while visiting family in the Naples area.
The boat was spotless and Mike at the marina was incredibly helpful with loading & unloading our coolers, floats, etc.
We will certainly rent from Isles of Capri Marina when in the area again. Had an excellent day with the help of Isles of Capri Marina.

We had a wonderful experience the other day ... first time renting a pontoon boat at Isles of Capri Marina.
We were warmly received ... and given excellent maps to go up the inter coastal to Naples.
I believe his name was Michael.. the son of the owner.... He kept us entertained as well as showing lots of hospitality..
I would definitely rent from there again ... plus it is refreshing to stop at Island Gypsy after deboarding for either a meal or a drink.

Charley & his son are great @ helping guide you on you boating journey.
Their Rental Rates are very competitive.

Located next to the Isle of Capris Gypsy Rose

Best prices boat worked great and was clean and Mike was great very helpful with suggestions to go and directions on the water

Every year when we visit the Naples, FL area, we rent kayaks from Isles of Capri. We aways enjoy the kayaking and its always a great adventure!

Michael helped our family get settled into a pontoon boat for all 12 of us. He was super friendly and the boat was nice and clean and ran smoothly. They are the nicest people at this marina! Also - the good at their restaurant (and drinks!!!) are absolutely worth enjoying. What a gem :)

We could only get a pontoon boat from 8-12, but that turned out to be more than enough time. We went to Keewaydin Island, explored some of the canals in Marco Island, etc. And then when we returned the boat we stayed for a delicious lunch on site. Great day! Thanks. The boat was in great condition and we had fun! Reserve in advance if you can.

isle of capri is a laid-back area with great fish restaurants. you ca n kayak there and see dolphins. I live in marco and go there all the time.

Good, casual dining, nice people on staff and the ones that hang out there too, and great outdoor set up for the restaurant/bar with a view. It's the proverbial out of the way place.

It's only 1.5 mi off Marco Island and easy to find. It's worth the short drive to hang out in a comfortable, casual marina bar/restaurant, away from the crowds.

I went there twice in just a long weekend visit and recommend you visit there too!

Spent the late morning early afternoon here exploring. Marina has an inn, boat/yacht slips to dock and just very peaceful & sunny. Enjoyed an amazing lunch at the "Island Gypsy dockside". Excellent, fresh food, music & relaxing environment.

just had a wonderful trip on the pontoon boat, followed the maps given and explained to us before we left to keewaydin island,fairly easy to navigate, boat was nearly new and very clean staff very helpful and competitive rates

Rented a pontoon for a half day. So much fun! Saw dolphins, osprey and other wildlife. Puttered out to Keewaydin Island to the beach, got some lunch from the food boat and had a blast! Marina lent us a cooler for our beer and gave us good instructions. Super fun day! Definitely will go back.

We went here for dinner since it was highly recommended. We sat right on the pier and ate. The food was amazing and we had great service.

What a great fun place the marina is. We rented a pontoon boat for half a day. The staff was super friendly and the process couldn’t have been easier. We had a great time exploring on the water. The boat ran great was super clean and comfortable and can’t wait to return and do it again! Thanks again

We rented the pontoon for a morning trip. The boat was really great. We especially loved the fishing station and chairs in the back with pole holders. The young man who assisted us was such a thoughtful and informative instructor. He took his time, and was very vested in our enjoying the boat and area. We will definitely look forward to many more days on the water in one of the pontoon boats from Isles of Capri Marina. Thank you!

the seafood is excellent and the view of the bay is breathtaking. You can choose from eating outside or inside in the bar area!

Great experience renting a pontoon from Isles of Capri Marina! We've visited Marco for the past 20 years and have always rented pontoons from the Marco Island marinas. On this past visit, however, we visited Isles of Capri Marina and our experience was 5-stars! Renting was quick and easy, the rental fee was less than the Marco marinas and they are actually closer to the Gulf than the others. Staff was very friendly and gave us a very comprehensive introduction to the boat. The drive to Isles of Capri was a few miles greater than the Marco marinas, but we'll gladly rent from them next year. As an added Bonus, the Island Gypsy Cafe is located right at the Marina and it's a great place for a drink and appetizer after the boat ride. We think the Island Gypsy Cafe is actually better than the Snook Inn.

We had a wonderful day on the water. The only issue was that they told us to show up at 11:00 and there was no one in the office when we got there. We waited 20 minutes for the guy to get back. Once out on the water we had a wonderful day. We saw bountiful sites, relaxed and swam. I chose Isle of Capri Marina because there times were more flexible than other marinas. I recommend spending a day out on the water when in Marco Island.

Great Service. Boats were clean. Rental fee very reasonable. Beautiful waterways and lovely beach area to explore along the waterways.

The two brothers who ran this marina were fantastic - very helpful, patient, and informative. We rented a pontoon for a half day and it was all ready, waiting for us when we arrived. They took the time to explain everything to us and we definitely had our fair share of questions :) We highly recommend renting from Isle of Capri Marina!

Small, intimate, good food, pleasant surrounding restaurant. Onion rings were soooo good. Really good waiter. Will return soon.

Been renting here for a few years now and have never been disappointed. They have the most helpful staff who make you feel welcome and you can tell they appreciate your business. The boats are top notch and well maintained. The price you pay includes the gas so you don't have to wait around when you return to see how much more you owe. Parking is very handy and you can walk right to the dock very easily. We got there about 20 minutes early this year and was able to get on our boat and on our way with no hassle. I can't say enough good about the place and would recommend to anyone without hesitation. A top notch operation!

Nice little restaurant on the bay with a great view...outstanding seafood platter...great scallops...shrimp and crab cakes.

The Isles of Capri Marina has a very relaxed atmosphere and is great for a casual lunch with friends.

Once you come out of the mangroves it opens to your own beach!
Lots of fun! Bring snacks for a little picnic on the beach!

Went for dinner and enjoyed the marina. Very low key and so comfortable. Great restaurant on the isle of Capri that we also enjoy every visit

What a Fabulous easy going lunch outside place ! The staff is very personable and attentive . The Food is vey fresh and delious . If your lokking for a Margarittaville atmosphere , you got it .Its truly a delight

We rented here as the best price on the island. Boat looked as new, even though there heavily used. The owner is a bit strange and very flippant, but it is the cheapest. If you want to talk book at rose marina. Charge for gas after trip and funny how it always rounds up to an extra $20. Take plenty of stuff with you as you stop at a few bars but not easily.

We rented a pontoon boat for the day. I didn’t have a boating licenses but it was not a problem. It was awesome to tour the back bays and islands. We saw dolphins and had lot of fun exploring and swimming. Big hit with all members of the family. The guys who run it are very helpful about how to use the boat and where to go on the map. Really fun way to get away from the crowds for a day.

Marina office is easy to work with and helpful in lining up a pontoon boat for our family trip up the inter-coastal to Keewaydin Island, Naples, rookery and spots along the way. Boats are in excellent condition and operate reliably. Marina manager provided good instructions, maps and suggestions. Very friendly and well priced for our family of 7. Recommend highly

Wanted to go for a boat ride so we found this place their boats are well maintained and come with a couple of plastic coated maps for directions. We saw dolphins twice during the trip and had a great afternoon

Most always rent my pontoon boats from here! Good half and full day rates...the boats are always clean with newer motors. Rented over 40 boats over 4 years....no issues.
Close to Marco Island, great beaches and restaurants nearby....lots of dolphins, sting-rays and wildlife!

Had a fantastic evening with friends and family. Our waiter (Dennis maybe) was able to keep up with our demanding table of 13. Not always an easy task to keep larger table table of winos happy.

Entrees are exactly as one would expect from this waterfront establishment. The staff is friendly and service is very good. If you are interested in a no-frills fun place you should stop by.

Rented a pontoon for a half day and had such a good time navigating the waters around Marco that we went and bought a new pontoon at a boat show. The staff was very helpful and equipment was in good shape

On two separate occasions in March 2011, I made reservations, invited between 14 and 18 people accompany us for a boat ride for the day. Upon showing up to the marina the first time with 18 people, I was told that they do not have us on their calendar. Luckily for me they kicked people off a boat who had just boarded as walk-ins. Second time I called on a Tuesday for a sunday rental, and was told the boat is available. I called Friday to confirm, and of coarse he had no recollection of our conversation. I have rented boats from them at least 12 times over the past year. Their customer service has gone down every year. Now, it is at the point where I can not rely on them to honor reservations, so I will have to look elsewhere. In feb 2011, the last time I was on one of their boats, the captains chair fell off the post due to rust nearly causing an accident!

Wrote my first review on Isles of Capri in 2015 and we've rented every year since. Just finished renting again in March, 2019 (six adults and six kids age 7-13) and they are still the best. They have an on-line reservation system where you can rent up to a year ahead of your desired date. Don't wait until you actually get to Marco to call around looking for a pontoon boat that is no longer available -- rent on-line ahead of time. Isles of Capri is more convenient to Keewaydin and Coconut Islands than the other marinas and you get a special treat... as you depart the Marina on your pontoon, there is a former McDonald's Exec's home right on the water with McDonald's memorabilia in plain view: Hamburgler; Ronald McDonald; Grimace; etc. It's fun for adults and kids alike. Make sure to have a post-cruise snack or meal at the Island Gypsy -- it is all outside seating and all tables are in the shade. They also have a great kid's menu. Staff at the pontoon rental are professional and super-nice. The cost of gasoline is included in the cost of the pontoon and you will be glad you rented from them.

Great eats right on the marina front. This place has a local style with fresh seafood. It's open air dining so be sure to give it a try.

We had seven adults on the boat and it was very comfortable. Staff was friendly and directed us to a great beach for shelling.

Great food, great place, great service, great sunsets! we cannot wait to go back there :)

If you don't have a boat, dont bother. There is nothing to do and no beach access. The place looks quite run-down and eerie feeling.

We rented a pontoon boat for the day from Isles of Capri. It appeared to be a family run business, very professional and efficient. The owner's son was very accommodating and gave great instructions on waterway and boat use.

We have been renting pontoons from Isle of Capri Marina a couple of time’s per season for many years. It’s always so much fun to explore Naples by water, seeing so many dolphins and birds along the way, and then stop at one of the islands to chill for awhile. Mike and his staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and ensure a great day is had on the water. Highly recommend spending a day or 1/2 day doing this. It’s always a highlight of our season!

Great atmosphere and yummy food and drinks. Definitely try the Cuban cocktail- wowee! There was live music, which we love. We'll be back!

Fabulous island feel. Good food and awesome signature drinks! Wait staff very friendly. One of my favorites!

We spend February vacation in Marco every year and every year the highlight of the week is the day we rent a boat from Isles of Capri Marina. Boats are clean, well serviced, staff is super nice and helpful. Rent a full day and beach the boat on the nearby island (about an hour away if you poke along and stop for dolphin watching like we do). Staff will give you great directions to the island. Pack a picnic lunch, sunscreen, and drinks and enjoy a relaxing peaceful day on a beautiful, nearly private beach with great swimming, snorkeling, shelling. Make your way back and then enjoy wings and a cocktail or cold beer at Gypsy Cafe. The best! Water is not rough, no worries about seasickness at all. Sand is soft and great for castle building. Thanks for another great memory, Isles of Capri Marina!

There were 4 adults, 4 kids. We rented a pontoon boat for a full day. We bought breakfast, lunch, snacks, beverages, beach chairs and umbrellas. The ride from marina to private beach was beautiful. We saw lots of dolphins and manatees. We anchored at the private beach. Swam for hours, set up on the beach for kids to eat, and walked over a few steps to the gulf side and everyone enjoyed shelling. It was a beautiful day. Boats are like new. Mike was so helpful and informative. Excellent customer service. This will definitely be a repeat when our family comes again!

Rented a pontoon for the afternoon with friends. Great fun & very nice pontoon. Friendly staff. Great place to eat outside too!

Amazing experience every single time. The price is perfection, they allow our pup to join and are super friendly always. We would never rent anywhere but here.

Our family of 5 took a pontoon boat out for the afternoon. Mike made knowledgable suggestions for where to go, provided maps of the area, and was wonderful with our kids. The boat was clean and in excellent condition.

My wife and another couple visited the restaurant for lunch. We sat outside in a cabana. The service was good and the food was great. My wife and I had a salad with goat cheese, it was excellent. We were right on the marina and the breeze made it very comfortable.I would recommend this to family and friends.

good food, local atmosphere, fun. The food is prepared by a chief at the hotel next door. It was very good and he actually came to us to see if we enjoyed our food,there were 9 of us , all ages and everyone had fun!

Mike and his dad run a great Marina. We are a boating family from UK and wouldn't have even looked at a pontoon boat but that was all that was on offer.

Mike made it all fun and easy to sort out. The boat was a 22' pontoon and we had a blast.

A couple of days before Christmas we went to Stan's Idle Hour on a Sunday (a must do trip) and the trip to Goodland only took half an hour or so at about 20mph.

Then on Boxing day we went to Naples and that was rubbish by boat. Better go by car and enjoy the swanky shops rather than the very tired and poor relative that is Tin City.

Took a trip to Snook Inn, but it wasn't as good as Stan's.

We settled on the best place to eat and drink ..... Gypsy Island Cafe (?) at Isles of Capri Marina. The food is excellent and the beer perfect - staff are extremely helpful and fun to be around too.

So thanks Mike, you made our stay on Capri a success.

Mike D

the quiet, laid back atmosphere of the Marina was nice.. wait staff was attentive and we had good service.. Food was only fair. .

We love this little place but be sure to go before dark unless you are dressed to be in the Everglades at night. The food is great and I think the little bugs knowing on my legs felt the same way. The staff will provide insect repellant and that really helps if you are unprepared for the bugs.
The menu is small but all the food is fresh, high quality, and fairly priced. Reservations are available and that is really important when the in-season crowd wants a cool place to go for lunch. The menu is somewhat casual but the quality is high. Give it a try and you'll be back unless you want white table cloths and a big bill!!!

We rented a pontoon boat here one day after renting one in Fr. Myers, so I have a good basis for comparison, and Snook Bight blew away the other rental company. First of all, they were extremely pleasant and really cared about us having a great day. That helps. Then we get to the boat which was so clean it could have been brand new. Compared to our other rental it was such a joy! We went for a full day, stopping at beaches and docking at a restaurant for lunch. We had 2 4year olds and 4 teenagers. It was perfect! When we were traveling around some of the islands, we saw a dolphin encounter boat sitting still so we went to see what was up. The boat left right away, but we found ourselves surrounded by dolphins! There were so many and they played along our boat for 30 minutes, so close you could almost touch them. You don't get that on the dolphin tour, we were able to be down low and floating in shallow water. Don't miss the chance to enjoy this fabulous area in your own boat for the day. Three cheers for Mike at the marina for being so wonderful to work with.

Took out a great pontoon boat on a beautiful Saturday morning 10/8/16. Was greeted by captain who explained everything we needed to know about where to go and how to get there. Boat was great , clean , easy to handle. Great sound system we were out about 3 hours, simply cut engines at one point and swan and sunned on the deck. Multiple dolphins seen in our trip. Will definitely go pot next time down. Peaceful , quiet trip!

A cute little restaurant bar at this marina that is off the beaten track and has tables right on the beach

Reasonably priced for half day! The pontoon was very clean and easy to navigate. The owners are flexible in their rental times, which makes the day easier to plan.

Had a great time in our rented pontoon boat. Two young kids, my wife and I had a half day. Had enough time to go to Coconut/Shell Island and Keewaydin Island for some swimming. Good prices and excellent staff and customer service.

Friendly staff!! Clean pontoons!! Great day!! Took our beach chairs and cooler....We motored out to the sand bar for a nice time on the beach! Just motor straight up on the sand. Then took a ride down to Godland, saw many dolphins along the way! In the end....an excellent experience!!

We rented a double sit upon kayak $40 for 4 hours and circumnavigated an island about 1 mile long in about 1.5 hours. We saw dolphin up close, sting rays, sea turtle (not confirmed), all manor of birds. Marina staff was fantastic help, they gave us a map which was critical for navigating around the mangrove islands. You can rent this same kayak on the beach at Naples for $40 per hour... so this is a great deal. When we finished, we walked the 30 feet to the waterside cafe next door for lunch and the end of a great morning of wildlife viewing. They also have motorized pontoon boats for a reasonable fee.

My family and i rented a boat here during our vacation. They were very clean boats, friendly and helpful. We followed directions and went to an Island that was beautiful and almost surreal. WORD of caution....it was low tide and the boat got stuck on a sand bar and we called the Marina and they called SeaTow. The marina said that we would probably be charged $200 to tow us off of the sand bar. When SeaTOw arrived they tried to charge me $500! I immediately called the Marina and asked them to call SeaTow. In the end, they charged me $400 to dislodge me from a sandbar...i did not require towing. It is highway robbery and unethical business practice so get the name of a different towing company prior to venturing out in case you need it.

We have now rented boats from them twice, half day (mornings) both times. The two brothers who run the place are friendly, expert, and very helpful. The boats are clean and well maintained. We motored to Keewaydin both times, where the shelling is excellent. This a great activity, and these are great people to rent from.

Isles of Capri offered a great price with excellent service. We enjoyed getting close to the mangroves, some of the birds and also fished a bit.

This place rents nothing but pontoons. But all are under 5 years old so they are very nice. All day rental for about $330 was a good deal. We did get a bit lost coming back but used the gps on our phone and were able to navigate back. We will be back next week.

The rental allowed us to see the sites at our own pace. The boat is easy to drive so everyone was relaxed. We brought our own food and cooler and picniced on the boat. Best way to see the birds and mamals up close. Ended the day with drinks and peeled shrimp in the gazebo.

We rented a boat from here. The staff was very nice and helpful. We had an amazing time. There was 8 of us, children included. Very nice for a family. Would definitely rent from here again!!!

We went to Marco last March and rented a pontoon boat for a couple of days from a marina on the island. I will refer to this place as "The other Marina". The boats were nice and fairly priced however the staff didn't seem overfriendly and there were many restrictions on the boat, it had to be parked by 5:00pm and we could not go south of Goodland. We decided we would try to find a different place on the island to rent from this year and came across Isles of Capri Marina, which is located just a minute or two off the island. From the first day we contacted Charlie, the owner, we knew we had found our new marina. Very, very friendly people. We booked our 3 day reservation with them that day. We were happy to hear that these boats had lights and could be driven at night, nothing like an evening sunset cruise on Marco, and not only were we allowed to go south of Goodland they would also explain in detail how to get to Cape Romano, which I highly reccomend. When we arrived to pick up our boat we dealt with Mike, Charlies son, and he was incredibly accomadating. He gave us about 4 paper maps for free (these are expensive at "The other Marina") as well as a laminated waterproof map that went with the boat. On the paper maps Mike drew in detail the route that would get us to Cape Romano, which was an incredible help and we had no problem getting there...beautiful. We inquired about fishing and Mike again explained in detail where to go, what to use and how to fish and even threw in a couple of poles for us to use. After throwing a cooler on the boat for us we were all set. When we were low on fuel we gave Mike a call and let him know we were coming in to fill up and when we got there he was all set, filled us up and we didn't even have to get off the boat. They also have a cafe and an open air bar/restuarant right on the water serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. All in all we had a great experience with this place. Very nice boats and even nicer people. I highly reccomend these guys.

Novice boater here but the staff gives you great instruction. Reasonable prices and had a great time on a full day pontoon rental. Did this 1/2 day last year and it did not seem like enough time. Thanks.

This marina is quite small, but quaint. It is only minutes from Marco Island. It offers all the services you need. Six of us took a fishing charter out of here with captain Jimmy, who is based out of this marina. There is a nice outside bar and restaurant on site, to grab a drink and a sandwich after a long day on the water.

I’ve been renting in the Naples area for 20 years and this is the only place I’ll rent now. Friendly people, nice boats and fair price.

Typical southern fried seafood fare at a reasonable price. Some parts of the view are nice, others a bit tattered. The service and prices are pretty good, and it is a busy place for tourists. Worth the trip from Marco Island just to see what all the hulaballoo on the Isles is all about.

Isle of Capri Marina offers boat rental, life vests, charts, outdoor bar and restaurant, and shower/changing room. It provides a wonderful day (we rent for four hours) on the water at the most reasonable prices in town. We have rented twice and will come back again!

Mike is the BEST!!! He gave us the full service set up; this was the highlight of our trip!! Mike and his little boy were ready and waiting for us when we got there. His adorable little boy was the STAR of the day!! He helped with life jackets while dad got my boyfriend squared away for the trip. We found loads of shells, dolphins and lots of wildlife. The boat was clean and the staff was AMAZING. I would come back just to visit his business again. The price was so very affordable and made it a memorable experience for our family. Thank you Mike and Benjamin for making this trip so special for me and my family.

DONT MISS THIS MUST SEE EXPERIENCE!!!

Fabulous outside dining... great food and drink selection. A must for anyone in Marco or Naples to visit.

Hubby and I had the pleasure of visiting the Isles of Capri Marina for the first time. We have been coming to Marco Island for over 8 years and we have rented boats from several marinas in the past. We absolutely loved Isles of Capri, Mike was just exceptional. He told us all about the boat, which was new and very nice, and he provided us with some education on how to run the boat, maps and also some advice. We rented a pontoon boat for a half day and we had a very enjoyable trip out and around. We saw the Snook Inn being worked on with the new renovations to the Tiki Hut and we took some great pictures of the Jolley Bridge. The waterway was nice and clear and the tide was nice and high. It was a most enjoyable half day on the water.

The food was just OK. They told us the wait would be 35 minutes but got in within 10 minutes for a group of 8. The wait staff was good but not impressed with the food, just ok.

Excellent. Find food, warm staff. And server Lori could not have been nicer or more efficient. Look forward to going back.

We had a great experience renting a pontoon boat two days this week. The guys were super, pointed us in the right direction. One day we went to Keewaydin Island and then Cocomo Bay. On Keewaydin, we found amazing shells. Both were great. Then saw a ton of dolphins by the bridge. Second day we went up to Naples and looked at all the huge houses and then back to Keewaydin Island to collect more shells and then back to Cocamo Bay, dolphin swam right in front of us-was awesome!!! Great days renting boats!!! Kids even got ice cream from Ice Cream Pontoon boat on Keewaydin Island!

Pros: Delicious food, al fresco dining, great location on water
Cons: The guy smoking a cigar 5 tables away, but the wind was not in our favor!
I would still go back ~ we rented a pontoon which was SO much fun.

We rented a pontoon boat from here, good guys, nice well kept boat. The waterways are a bit confusing down here, lots of boats not following any kind of waterway rules, so beware, its a bit of stress. But if you want to rent one to beach on one of the beaches and just hang out, there are plenty of nice beaches to do this with. We had 7 on our boat and everyone had a good stress free time, except the guy driving the boat, which was me. But if you are looking to do this, with a carefree, who gives a damn attitude captain, this is a good place to do it.

We rent from the Isles of Capri Marina every year - great pontoon boats, perfect condition, friendly, helpful staff. Then when you are finished boating, have a snack at the Gypsy Cafe!

Isles of Capri Marina was so easy to deal with. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Marco Island. We got a bit of a late start, but were out on the boat by about 10am. 4 adults and 4 kids. We returned the boat right at 430pm and would have loved staying out even longer. We saw a couple of dolphins on our way to Keewadin Island.

Rented a pontoon boat for 4 hrs and it cost under $200! Fished, saw many bird varieties, dolphins came right up to the boat, stopped at an incredible beach, cruised the harbour to see the yachts and homes. Would recommend this and we would do it again for sure :) Florida at it's best!

Had lunch at Pelican Bend. Nice meun. Can sit outside by the water or inside. Go early otherwise there can be a wait. Enjoy the sun and water.

Awesome service. Originally, our reservation was for a half day, but we enjoyed it so much, we called from the boat and they allowed us to keep the whole day. Pontoon rental was so good the first day, we ended up booking the next day too. The boat was clean, powerful and great condition. Due to weather, had to head back to the dock about 2 hours early and were given a discount. Will definitely rent again when we travel to Marco Island. Service like that makes it worth coming back for!

We rented a 1/2 day pontoon boat for 4 adults and 2 kids. The staff were extremely friendly and gave us great directions out to the sandbar beaches were most boats go. The area is very beautiful and the mangroves are such a unique experience. The pontoon was in great shape for a rental and had a 1/2 boat cloth roof to get out of the sun. We took an off the path return trip and arrived back to the dock a little late- no trouble. After the cruise we had a couple coctails at cute little bar at the marina overlooking the boat slips. Great location and people here.

This is a jewel tucked away. The drive to it, is worth going.
The food is so enjoyable waterside. Go at sunset, as it is cooling.

Excellent food .. fried oysters, soft shelled crab, shrimp cocktail, much, much more! All delicious in a beautiful , rustic, Florida water setting. Try it ! You will love it!

We rented a boat from Isle of Capri and the boat was nice, easy to manouver even for newbies like us and the customer service was great. The showed us how to run the boat and gave us a map and great tips about where to go and how to get there. Rate for half a day was $180 + any fuel cost. Not bad.

This is our second time renting from the Isle of Capri, last time it was just the two of us, this time it was all 12, 6 adults and 6 grandkids with 3 being under 3. Best time ever! Lifejackets all around. Rains opened up and we got totally wet but dried off in a flash. Saw Dolphin that were so close we could have reached out and touched them.
We had a fantastic time.

We stay on Marco Island several times a year and have tried all of the local marinas for renting boats. The Isles of Capri Marina is our new favorite. The boats were well-maintained, the owner was extremely friendly, and overall we had a great day, made that much better by the great experience with renting the boat.

Went to Capri Fish House on Sunday on the way out of town for the Seafood Buffet..Quaint little place, awsome food. No liqour only wine based but other than that, great!

Very friendly. Best prices for renting a boat. No need to pack a lunch. Spend the day in paradise on Keewaydin Island. The Food Boat is there 7 days a week.

Have been wanting to rent a boat for a while now and we had friends visiting and decided to give it a go. We had a group of 8. Easy reservation taken (just a name and a phone number) and we were told to come as early as 8:00 am to get on our boat. We arrived shortly after 8 and there were a few other groups waiting on the dock as well. I went into the office to pay and the lady behind the desk was very chatty and offered some boating advice. Once done, she told me to go see Charlie on the dock. I headed out and as promised, Charlie was there. We were promptly loaded and given the basics of the boat and the map. Charlie comes off as a little "salty" but I think it is all part of the schtick. He was really friendly and joking around when I had trouble reading the map. You do get a very quick orientation. I have little boating experience, so if you are not really comfortable, just ask for more information and I am sure you would get it.
We headed out, following the directions. I found the map a little hard to follow, but the markers in the water really helped. On our way to Keewaydin Island we saw a group of dolphins and followed them through the bay. They lead us right to Keewaydin. We beached the boat and shelled, walked and just hang out. Had a great time! After a few hours, we went back on the boat and explored some other spots. Anchored off Tiger Tail beach and did some great shelling!
The day went very fast and black clouds were forming so we headed into the marina. Charlie's son was there to guide us in. I was a little worried about "parking" the boat in the slip, but I was guided in and had no trouble at all.
Overall, just a fantastic day. Sun, sand and water. All kinds of wild life.
The boat was very comfortable, clean and had lots of storage. So don't be afraid to bring lots of stuff with you (coolers, towels, beach chairs, etc).
This is a must do when you are in the area.

We rented a 1/2 day pontoon and drove around the islands. Spent a few hours @ Keewaydin Island. Had 3 dolphins entertain us for about 30 minutes. The boat was clean, newer and comfortable. Great Day!

This is a great place to meet the locals eat (great buffalo wings) and drink whilst watching the world go by.

First off, I’m not sure how I never stumbled upon this spot before. We’ve been taking summer trips to Marco Island for decades and always just checked out at the end of the week and went home. This time we heard about the Isle of Capri Marina for pontoon boat rentals, so we decided to give it a try. I can’t speak highly enough about this experience.

Mike was the staff members I dealt with the whole time and he was far and away amazing if every respect. He was super helpful before we booked, explaining the process and some of the things we can go see around the area. Then we arrived and he was very welcoming. Walked us over to the two boat we rented for our big family and let us know we can load up our coolers and stuff.

Once we were ready to go he gave us a great briefing, detailing what we should do and in what order so that we were close to the marina on the afternoon in case of rain. Worked out great considering Florida weather has it raining every afternoon during the summer.

We had an amazing time on the boats. We cruises around, played at a beach, and then slowly worked our way back in the afternoon. I can’t say enough great things about Mike.

This was our first visit, but surely not our last. Thank you, Mike, for such a great experience.

If you are looking to take a boat out, this is your place! Seriously, they take care of everything. Kind and friendly gentlemen who make sure you are set from beginning to end. Our captain, Sean, was knowledgable and took us to many different highlights in our 4 hours with him. Our excursion was reasonably priced and we were allowed to bring food and drinks on the boat! They recommended a cafe next door (Island Gypsy) from which to order and it was delicious. Would 100% return to patronize this company when we come back to Marco.

We felt at home and relaxed as we enjoyed great food, cold drinks and a beautiful sunset by the water. The menu is varied and offers items not commonly found at similar places. From the staff to the patrons, everyone seemed to smile.This place was charged with an energy that stimulates and relaxes at the same time. The music had a lot to do with it. A one man band that took you from Jimmy Buffet to Van Morrison and all the way to Linkin Park and Green Day unplugged. We had an awesome time away from the stuffier Marco Island.

Low key, but very cordial service, out of the box menu (alligator, conch, frog legs), deliciously seasoned food. We started with conch fritters and seafood chowder for appetizers, and they were phenomenal. My sauteed scallops were the best I ever had, and my daughter's spinach salad lined with a dozen jumbo coconut shrimp was fantastic, both dishes beautifully presented. And, the last time I had as good an espresso as here, was in Italy. The place is as 'local' as it can get. Right on the beach, the outdoor seating is in thatch roof covered shack, inside beams covered with dollar bills signed by people from all over the world, some foreign currency too. If you want to add your dollar bill to the display, the waiter gives you a black marker so you can write whatever you want on your bill, and then he walks around looking for a good spot to put it, and staples it in place. Great place for body and soul.

We rented a pontoon boat for a birthday and the experience was one of a kind. Navigating the waterways and being able to explore the islands and nature at our own pace was quite an adventure. We saw many dolphins, collected shells, and just overall had such a nice, relaxing afternoon. We had a few questions from the beginning before booking and Michael was very communicative and friendly on the phone as well as in person. We even called him in the middle of our outing with questions and he was great and patient with us. We will definitely be back for a full day as going out for a half day trip only served to give us a small taste of what there was to explore and left us wanting to explore much more. I highly recommend this experience!!

There was very little direction of where to go. Nothing to see, there were no coves to explore only open water in the middle of the bay. The guy we rented from did not give us any advice on where to go to see anything. His directions were "There is an island there then, there is that island a little farther, there is the bridge and that's it have a good day." Horrible!!! Save your money!

Best seafood restaurant in Marco Island.
Great food, great view & great service.
The grouper dinner was excellent and was reasonable price. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
Everyone in our party loved their dinner selection. They live entertainment was a really nice touch

They came highly recommend by very experienced boaters for pontoon boat rental. They exceeded the praise. Simple instructions, friendly welcome, no experience necessary instructions made a potentially worrisome adventure into a great day on the water.
If you wish to get away to a harbor island beach for fishing or swimming go with these guys.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

We have rented pontoons and kayaks from this marina over 5 or so years. The staff is incredibly helpful, the machines in good shape, and the location perfect for a trek to a secluded island beach. We definitely recommend.

Thanks to the Isle of Capri Marina staff for setting us up for a great day on one of their pontoon boats! The extra care helping our elderly parents was so kind! We truly enjoyed the experience on the water! Cheers to a profitable year in 2021!!

We booked a pontoon boat from here for half a day and they were very accommodating. We didn't want the 8am start so were going to book the 12.30pm-4.30pm slot but because they were quiet we were told we could have the boat 10.30am-2.30pm which suited us better. The boats are very clean and well kept. We saw dolphins while we were out and found it fun and easy to navigate as complete novices.

Not a very large marina, however good for rentals and for sailing outings in the calm waters. Good bar to stock up for your drinks and food. If it's a nice day..We recommend the coolbreeze excursion at sunset.

Boats are clean, like new, and the service is great. Mike and staff are very helpful with new boaters and give great directions to any spots. Perfect location to go to Keewaydin, see wildlife, and have lunch on the water!

Love dining outdoors, so this was perfect, right on the water. Known for it's seafood, we had a great selection, including Early Bird Specials. Service for 15 was excellent, we were able to enjoy our day without feeling rushed. Everyone enjoyed their meals, I had an Italian Seafood salad, name is misleading, the Italian part was the dressing which was very good, but it also had scallops, shrimp and a half of a lobster tail! Yummy! Also had a mussels appetizer, not the best I've had, but not bad. I'd definitely go back again.

So glad we found this place to rent a boat from while we were on marco island. It was just a pontoon boat but it looked brand new and was in excellent shape. We were given great instructions on how to use the boat and how to navigate our way to keewaydin island and had a blast out there. We stopped by the restaurant in the marina for lunch on our way back out to the bridge where we saw a bunch of dolphins and caught a ton of catfish. The people working here couldn't have been nicer and if we ever find our way back to marco island we will definitely spend a day on one of their pontoon boats again!

They made it simple and easy to have a great time. The kids loved it we did a half day rental and now know it will be a full day next time we are here. Don't wait go now. Awesome people. Great time!

Brothers, Mike and Gerry, are running the business now and they do a great job interacting, engaging and advising!
Keewaydin Island the first day and Coconut the next trip...both different and very fun.

We had lots of fun. The boat was not new, but functional, we got everything we needed. The dock crew helped us with instructions and directions. They also gave us maps with marked most popular routes. We went to Keywadin Island and had nice day at the beach there. The only issue was it was super crowded and locals are really pushy when there is not much space left.

This place is a treasure. Boaters love it! Great gift/sundry store. Awesome restaurant and bar. Order number the fish tacos.

Having lunch at the marina with my family was relaxing! Get there before 12 pm & enjoy the weather & open atmosphere! I had the Grouper sandwich & it was fresh & delicious ! They rent boats for family for half day & full day!

Happened to visit the area and stopped for a beer on a Sunday afternoon..Female singer and guitar player were performing live..
Great relaxing afternoon...

We happened to eat at this restaurant on a whim. We were attracted by the early bird specials for $15.95. We were a little apprehensive when we first saw it (not the greatest looking restaurant), however upon receiving and tasting our food, we soon changed our mind. We chose the stuffed grouper entree' and the mixed grill entree' and also had a cup of the seafood chowder. The presentation of the food was like that of an expensive 5-star restaurant and the taste of the food was just as good! Also, the service was very good! We will definitely be returning again! Don't miss this opportunity to dine at this 'Diamond in the Rough'! You will not regret it!

Mike is terrific, he is knowledgeable, his prices are the lowest around, he waa a pleasure to do business with...Boston Red Sox banter and all. I will use no one else whenever I visit Marco Island.

You have ot order the onion rings and you have to order the carrot cake!
Make sure you get there early so they don't run out of carrot cake!
Had the perfect sunny day to sit with friends and enjoy the scenery.
I was a guest of people who knew of the restaurant. They said the owner and his sons were great people.
I had the mahi mahi tuna sandwich with cole slaw and fires. A generous plate. Grouper was the fish of the day.
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the gentle breeze and of course, the company.

I was invited out to lunch by a good friend who stays on Marco Island over the winter, and knows where to go for a nice meal and took me here. It was so nice to sit outside and enjoy the warm breeze and some sun while being protected by the umbrellas they have available. The fish of course was very good as was the service. I recommend a stop here if you are traveling in this area.

We have rented there twice this winter, once for four hours and once for eight hours. The staff is very friendly and helpful and don't rush you. Very laid back and not crazy like the place on Marco Island where there are people everywhere and you can't even move. Plenty of parking with very easy access to the marina. Would recommend this place to anyone. Great little restaurant next door also.

When we are in Florida for the winter this is one of the places we make a point of stopping by for a meal or a drink. Being outside in Florida is great and the food is good and they have entertainment. Isle of Capri is less traffic, less tourists and relaxed. Good choice .... Try it .....
You won't be sorry.

Excellent service, good prices and good food. Will return. A hidden gem!! Cant wait to go back. It is hidden be the marina but has good parking and quite a few tables. We had the pizza and a small was to much for 2 people. Wonderful fast service.

We came here based on their great reviews and locals recommendation.
We are so glad we did! Kayak was ready to go in no time,even though other people were renting pontoon boat at the same time.
They gave us tips where to go along with a map , went through mangroves to close beaches and saw numerous Dolphins!
Will definitely rent here again! Nice and efficient staff!

Great food and cocktails. love the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. comparable prices. family friendly. will definitely go back!!!

Good food and service..a unique place to visit in every way.
If you're lucky you will see the Dolphins. Pelicans are close by to. Very relaxing watching the boats come and go.

What could be better than a day on a pontoon craft with friends? We opted for a half day rental. The boat itself was clean, safe and easy to navigate. The directions we were given to visit Keewaydin Island and Coconut Island were easy to follow. The shelling at both these items was great. It was an adventure enjoyed by all. This will become an annual excursion.

The best place to rent a pontoon boat in the area!
Wonderful staff
Lovely boat ride to Keewaydin Island
We have rented here for many years - it's our "go to" place for a boat rental

We ended our Marco Island trip by eating here our last day. It was really cool, not the best weather day but I could imagine on a warm/hot sunny day this place would be so much more fun1 It is worth the visit...food is very good!
