He knows the area extremely well so if you have special requests like I want to see a turtle or dolphin, he knows where to take you. He does a great job of pointing out uniquenesses in the area. On our last trip, the water was so calm it was like glass, reminded me of our MN lakes. It made for fast, fun, smooth trails through the Florida mangroves. On a long straightaway, I got up to about 60mph, fast enough for me. I liked the weaving better. Our group size was 4 plus Capt Ron so it was perfect for staying together. Hope to do this again.

My wife & I have been traveling…read moreto Marco Island for the last several years and Avi's Jet Ski Tour is at the top of our list of things to do! This time we went to Marco Island with our adult kids & their significant others. My wife & I wanted to make sure all of us could geta tour in with Avi's so the kids could experience our favorite thing to do in Marco. We booked 3 Jet ski's on a Wednesday morning and Avi did not disappoint! My kids never operated a Jet Ski before & Avi patiently went over everything they needed to know before we headed out on the water. Avi took us to so many places to see dolphins, manatees & other wildlife. Avi is also very knowledgeable about the area, eco system and all the different wildlife in the area. He is very respectful to all boating/Jet ski laws & all of the wildlife in the area. My entire family had a blast! During our week stay in Marco we took several other tours/excursions. On Friday I told the kids we could take one more tour before we leave & to no surprise they picked Avi's again! These two tours we took with Avi were our favorite part of our vacation! The pictures Avi takes and gives you are priceless! Next time we are in Marco Island we will be sure to book with Avi again. Thanks Avi for giving my entire family a lifetime of memories!

The group before us boasted of seeing dolphins so my kids were thinking...we missed them. He found more and managed to get one to swim beside us for 20-minutes. Other guides nickel & dime you, Avi charges you a lot up front and it's worth every penny plus he throws these UNREAL photos in the package. WARNING: Listen when he tells you to reapply sunscreen, I sadly did not!

We stopped at a little island & found some really unique shells. The highlight of the tour for me was definitely when we found a small pod of dolphins. They swam around us for quite some time. We will definitely be back!
