What is a CraigCat?

The CraigCat is an exceptionally unique watercraft that has been giving people nothing but smiles for over 30 years! This two-seat catamaran with 30 Horsepower outboard engine driven speed boat allows our guests to go up to speeds nearing 30 mph! The boat allows for a much more intimate ride than similar small watercraft such as wave runners or jet skis. This allows our guests to sit in a relaxed, comfortable position and stretch out during their CraigCat ride around Marco Island. Conversation is much easier between driver and rider on the CraigCat thanks to the design of the seats being side by side rather than forward and behind.

The CraigCat is also known for being very stable and very safe as well as easy to operate. After a short 15 minute instructional and safety speech, you will have all the know how needed to operate the vessel and enjoy the adventure.

The CraigCat offers a space for a complimentary cooler provided by us filled with bottled water and ice already. The CraigCat also has a small dry box built on the boat to place your belongings safe from any splashes. We’ll make sure you have the best Backwater Adventure around Marco Island!

Reviews of Our Tours in The 10,000 Islands!

We saw several dolphins, some of which came right up to our boat! Our tour guide was the owner and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this to any of my family or friends who visit Florida!

This is the best tour I've ever been on and I live right on the water. The guide really knows how to make these trips awesome not to mention the quality of the water crafts your driving and in complete control of make it a smooth ride. If your into pictures of national geographic scenery of the 10,000 islands then this is the trip for you. Highly recommended. I go at least once a month!!!!! It never gets old.

We were able to see 2 dolphin pods: 1 was leery of humans since it had a baby dolphin, the other pod was quite playful and hung around our boats for a great experience. It was also fun to cruise around the small islands in our 2-person CAT boats. This was the best part of our Marco Island vacation!

Tyler, our guide is a super cool dude and it was fun to follow his lead. We got to see dolphins up close and personal. These little 30hp Craig-Cats move pretty fast and are very fun to drive. Would totally go again and again, Tyler made our experience that much better. Good times!

We had a great time, Conner was a great tour guide had fun along the way and I would highly recommend this adventure.

The owner and our tour guide was great. We saw dolphins up close on our trip. He let us know a lot of info of the area and surrounding. The craigcats are so easy to operate that anyone can operate them. The boats were awesome, so awesome that when I got got back home I called craigcat and bought one. would recommend this company to anyone. Its definitely a great time

We had a great time! It’s not only fun, the owner to our guide, Jason were so professional and thoughtful of our needs. All of us loved it and cannot wait to return!
