Sòl Charters is a Marco Island, Florida-based charter company specializing in private boat experiences in the nearby Ten Thousand Islands. The company offers guided cruises such as the Private Dolphin & Shelling Adventure, a 2.5-hour outing that focuses on wildlife viewing and island beach stops for shell collecting, swimming, and relaxation.
Sòl Charters operates private, booked-by-the-group trips tailored to guest interests and schedules. Captains guiding these outings are local mariners familiar with the tidal channels, estuaries, and wildlife patterns around Marco Island, which helps optimize opportunities to see dolphins and manatees while minimizing environmental disturbance. Safety and comfort are emphasized through careful route planning, adherence to local regulations, and attention to guest needs during each cruise.
Sòl Charters serves families, couples, and small groups seeking a personalized maritime experience rather than a large-boat tour. Reservations are required for private charters; guests receive clear meeting instructions and pre-trip guidance to prepare for beach stops and wildlife viewing. The Private Dolphin & Shelling Adventure is ideal for those seeking a short, nature-focused excursion from Marco Island with dedicated time ashore for shelling and swimming. Sòl Charters emphasizes respectful wildlife viewing and responsible beach use, encouraging guests to observe marine animals at a distance and to collect only shells that are uninhabited and allowable under local rules.
For visitors planning a Marco Island outing with an emphasis on wildlife, beaches, and private service, Sòl Charters provides a focused, local option for exploring the Ten Thousand Islands.
Booking is available online and by phone.
