CAPTAIN NATE LAPIERREMaster Captain, Certified Master Naturalist

Captain Nate has been enjoying the waters of Florida since he was a kid. Many family trips to the sunshine state included trips to the beach and boating on the water every time. Now a permanent Florida resident for nearly a decade, Captain enjoys fishing, shelling and viewing wildlife in and around Naples, Marco Island, and the Ten Thousand Islands of Southwest Florida.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

Captain Nate started our journey; he knows everything about the area and the wildlife living there. We saw a beautiful manatee alongside the boat and Captain Nate gave us polarized sunglasses and told us exactly when to start videoing to get the best footage. Teenagers thought the ride back through the storm was very exciting too!

Within the first 30 minutes of the tour, we were treated to up-close viewings of three manatees. This lasted for about 20-30 minutes before they disappeared. The remainder of the tour was spent looking for more of these beautiful creatures, learning about their species, and touring the waters where they live.

When you go, request Captain Nate! He does an outstanding job and made the trip worth every penny!
