We booked a boat with two adults and 4 kids... we could NOT be any happier with the entire trip. Captain Paul was fantastic and even let all the kids have a turn steering the boat. Would absolutely do this again... worth every penny! read more

My husband and I booked the sunset boat cruise and loved it. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and fun. The cruise itself was so relaxing and the boat was beautiful and well maintained. Beer, wine, and soda is included as well as the champagne toast at sunset. The view of sunset from a boat is just different and so beautiful. Would highly recommend!! read more

Went with our almost 4 year old and he loved it. Captain Kelly and his son were great hosts. Saw some dolphins and went seashelling. Appreciate the great beer options! Definitely worth it! read more

Our group of six friends rented the private catamaran for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon and had an absolute blast! Captain Steve was great. We felt like VIP and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!! Can't beat the price. And we saw dolphins - BONUS! read more

This was my second trip with Cool Beans Cruises and it will not be my last. They are so much fun and go out of their way to make sure you have a great time on board. They have a great selection of beverages and treat everyone like a VIP aboard their boats. First class service. read more

Our experience with Captain Dan and Cool Beans Cruises was amazing! The service along the entire way was great. Captain Dan was a fantastic captain and provided an excellent experience for us. I would highly recommend this company!!! Great value as well! read more

Captain Kelly and Captain Dave were awesome to work with! Highly recommend.

Cool Beans is a great company and I highly recommend this cruise!! Our catamaran had Captain Josh and first mate Zach on board. They were very friendly and provided us a great experience. The beers were flowing, the dolphins were out and the sailing was awesome!! Can't wait to go out again... read more

We were in Marco Island for a family vacation and my wife's birthday. We did the morning cruise and had the entire boat to our family. The Captain was great, gave us a lot of info on the area and the buildings. He brought us to see dolphins and a manatee. Great trip and highly recommended. read more

Ask who your captain is before booking the cruise. If they say Captain Dan, do not book! He is the absolute worst at customer service, does not listen to the customers sailing preferences, is extremely rude, and spends most of the time on his cell phone. I should have read yelp before booking because I am not the first review with negative feedback on this captain. However, the booking process with Shawn and Captain Kelly was awesome and their follow up was flawless. I initially book a 6 hour private cruise, but several of my guests could not make the trip due to weather up north. So, asked to change my itinerary and book a 3 hour private cruise on a smaller boat. That process was easy and very accommodating. During the 3 hour cruise, the catamaran motor ran approximately 2.5 hours and only sailed for approximately 30 minutes with the motor off. Captain Dan spent most of our time motoring around the intercostal and very little time in the gulf. The weather was beautiful and it was perfect conditions for sailing. Unfortunately, we did not get what we paid for. If you want to view the intercostal, rent a pontoon. If you want to sail, ask better questions than I did and then adjust your expectations accordingly. Furthermore, when you arrive for your cruise and if the captain introduces himself as Captain Dan, turn around and leave the dock immediately. If you don't, your sailing experience will be miserable. read more

I have gone on two sunset cruises and plan to take more!... Was beautiful and very organized but yet you had the feel of being on a friends boat. You didnt feel like you signed up for the cattle call excursion.... I highly recommend and will be a regular and a must do with out of town company that comes to visit. read more

Such a fun day to spend with the family! Captain Josh and First Mate Dan were super friendly and my 10 year old loved chatting with the captain. Clean boat with all the amenities you need (for a boat). Can't wait to go back!!!!! read more

Had a great morning private cruise with Captain Paul. He was on time, prepared when we arrived. He gave us a thoughtful and thorough walk through of safety and boat etiquette. We then had a pleasant, chill 3 hours touring off the coast of Marco Island and surrounding islands. We saw dolphins and a variety of birds from pelicans to ospreys. Beer and wine was provided as well as the ability for us to bring our own wine champagne and cheese. Overall it was a great morning tour for four of us on vacation. read more

Do not miss the unique, fun and relaxing Cool Beans Cruise. Our family of 7 had an incredible day taking in the sites, watching dolphins jump and play up close, walking the beautiful private beach to collect shells and swimming in the warm gulf waters. The spacious, pristine Catamaran had ample, comfortable shaded seating and a sprawling area on the bow to relax in the sun. Soda, water, beer and wine flowed generously throughout the three hour excursion. Captain Kelly and first mate Dan were warm, friendly, professional and accommodating. It was a perfect enjoyable family day that we will most definitely recommend to friends. We will surely be back the next time we vacation in the Naples/Marco Island area. read more

Captain Dan and Captain John made the experience great! We had a dolphin swim alongside the sailboat for awhile and had a blast swimming into the Kewadin island! Highly recommend it for a family friendly tour or a getaway from the busy mainland. read more

Better than I could have ever hoped for! Very friendly and laid back. There were complimentary cold beverages that were served, bathrooms were onboard, and we got to see some dolphins. I would highly recommend this cruise and will definitely do again if back in the area. read more

My girlfriend and I were down in Marco the last of January. We booked a private cat sunset cruise for Super Bowl Sunday. Even though the Gulf was round because of high winds, Captain Kelly did an excellent job of sailing and hosting. We learned a tremendous amount about the area (first time on Marco) while enjoying the beautiful sunset. The champagne toast was especially wonderful. Will definitely take another one when we return, and highly recommend Cool Bean Cruises!! read more

Cool Beans Cruises was an incredible experience all around! On a vacation to Marco, went on a sunset cruise with two of my friends and had an absolutely amazing time! Captain Josh and first mate Dan were very friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. We shared the boat with 9 other people; I was surprised to find that there was ample room for everyone to move around. All attendees quickly become friends, sharing photos of our children and pets, and sharing travel tips for the area. One of the best parts about this cruise is that it is stocked with beer and wine (all you can drink!), and even included a champagne toast and shrimp cocktail. You can also bring your own food - we brought along cheese, crackers, fruit, and cookies. Had so much fun, even went out drinking afterward with everyone who was on the cruise! The views were amazing - especially at sunset. We even got to see dolphins! I'd highly recommend Cool Beans to anyone without hesitation. It's a great value for the cost and will now be a staple on every trip I make to Marco! Even considering bringing my 4-year old on a daytime cruise when I'm back in a few months... read more

Amazing time! We've gone on many cat cruises and this was top notch! Boat is immaculate, crew couldn't be more accommodating and very chill!! Not crammed like sardines. Felt like it was our boat. We'll be back for sure!! read more

Had a great time! After we got "overbooked" for our dolphin adventure we were looking for something last minute. They were able to squeeze my family of 4 in for a sunset cruise!!! OMGGGGG the staff knows so much about the area and is super friendly and inviting. I would recommend to ANYONE staying in Marco or Capri. They supply the drinks, booze, and snacks which makes for a super easy to prepare for event! They even have blankets if you get cold!!!!!!! Doesn't get much better than this!!!!! Thanks Cool Beans Cruises, you really showed us a great time! read more

The experience was relaxing and Captain Paul took excellent care of his passengers. We were offered options for our excursion and enjoyed being out on the water for the entire morning. I couldn't have been happier with the time spent on the boat. The amenities were more than sufficient for those concerned about 'facilities'. No worries, Cool Beans has it covered and believe this is a wonderful value for the money. read more

We had a great time with Captain John! Very comfortable boat. Was us and two other couples for the 3 hour afternoon cruise. Great day for sailing and relaxing! We will def be on a tour when we visit Marco Island again! read more

The boat tour was amazing and worth every penny. Our guide was relaxed and knowledgeable. There was beer and wine provided and we were also allowed to bring our own, whatever we preferred. Very enjoyable and relaxing :) read more

We took a sunset cruise and it was exactly what we wanted. The boat is a nice size--not too big

What an amazing experience! My girlfriends and I come to Naples every year and wanted to try a catamaran ride. I am SO happy we went with Cool Beans cruises. The whole staff was wonderful from booking, to the ride, to the service on the boat. Very memorable experience! Can't wait to return next year. read more

What a great time!! Four of us booked a sunset cruise and Kelly (Owner) was our captain. We were on the Cool Beans II catamaran with one other couple. The boat carries a max of 6 people plus the captain. Perfect size to really enjoy, plus there was adequate selection of beer/wine/soft drinks/water for our sunset sail. We will be back for another cruise on our next trip down. You will not be disappointed. read more

This was definitely my personal highlight on Marco Island! Our group of 5 booked a private 3 hour day cruise for $60/person. This is the discounted cash price; credit is $65/person. We enjoyed a relaxing cruise on our private catamaran in the Gulf of Mexico. We had several dolphin sightings and received great narration from Captain Terry. We were able to ride by both Eminem's home and Joe Biden's winter escape. You do have the option of stopping at Keewaydin Island, Naples, or Sand Dollar Beach to swim and collect shells, however, our group decided to just take in the sights of the sea sailing the entire time, from 12:45-3:45. Complimentary beer (blue moon, Heineken, red stripe, or coors light), wine (Chardonnay), and non-alcoholic beverages are included in the price. It's not just one either; it's however many you can drink. Fresh fruit (apples and bananas) was also included in the price. You can bring your own food too; we brought sandwiches for lunch and it worked out well. There are bathrooms on the boat too, and they are, surprisingly, nice for a sea vessel. Make sure you book early as the first time we called they were booked for that day but, luckily, they could accommodate us the following day. There is also a restaurant with waterfront dining next to the dock, with a limited menu featuring fresh fish, in case you don't bring food to eat onboard. Parking is located across the street and is free. Definitely make sure to book a boat (they also do champagne sunset cruises) if you are looking for a great activity to fill a few hours on Marco Island. read more

Highlight of our vacation! Will definitely book again next year when we're back in Marco!

Captain Kelly and company were awesome. They helped me plan my proposal to my fiancè and we had an amazing time on their Sunset Cruise. Even were lucky enough to see dolphins before going out into the gulf. Cannot recommend them enough! read more

Comes up as number 2 on the best things to do in Naples. It's actually number 1 !!!! One of the most romantic things we have done. Cool Beans does a first class job and our captain was Justin who really made it enjoyable. Complimentary beer, wine, pop and water plus shrimp cocktail and a champaign toast at sunset on the water. First class job!!! Only 6 guests to a boat which really makes it personal and not feeling like a tourist activity. Felt like royalty. The owners should get accolades for the level of service and personal attention they and their captain provide. We plan on doing this everytime we visit!! read more

This was a wonderful boat trip. Thought 3 hours would be too long and it went by quickly. Mike and Captain Kelly did a wonderful job of making sure everyone had a drink ( water soda beer or wine ) and keeping everyone safe. The ride was smooth and the stop when we could jump out and swim was a refreshing break from the sun. The bathrooms were clean. And the music was great. Our six kids (26-17) all enjoyed themselves as much as my husband and I did. Cool bean cruises is worth booking! read more

Awesome cruise; hope they consider offering a 5 hour sailing trip one day. It was so fun I didn't want it to end. Capt. Paul made us feel at home immediately and couldn't have been more attentive. We really felt special and definitely felt that the money for the private cruise was well spent!!! Felt like the "rich and famous" the whole time. Extra bonus was the school of dolphins that greeted us right on our way out of the marina. They were so close you could reach out and touch them! Ice cold brews along with water, pop and a fruit tray made for a great day on the water. Would do this again if ever back in the area. read more

Our family, 7 adults and one 2 year old had a wonderful time on the Catamaran captained by Josh and Daniel. Great service of wine and beer, very clean, informative, (especially about the shells we collected) and gentle comfortable cruise. Highly recommend this cruise and staff read more

Awesome time. Highly recommend. Our captain, Kelly, was knowledgeable about the area and fun to chat with. We were looking for something fun and relaxing to do. This was perfect. Light sailing in the gulf with complimentary beer/wine/sodas and fruit. We will be back next time we are in Fl. read more
