We go in small groups of 8 people or less for a personal first class experience. We cruise around at slower speed to explore the beautiful mangroves, look for elegant dolphin and manatee in the wild, beautiful birds and some of the most scenic views in the backwater of the famous 10,000 Islands. Then we get up to full speed (30 mph) on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico stopping on a beautiful private island for about 30 minutes to do some shelling and swimming. This 2.5 hour boating adventure is guaranteed to have you smiling and laughing for years to come. These are unlike any 2 man catamaran as they are super smooth over even choppy water, a dry ride, easy steering and throttle and super safe with its all fiberglass construction. Book it today!

    Great tour! Highly recommend!

    We went to Keewaydin Island, great experience, crystal clear water and they had a food and ice-cream boat! Had a sting ray jump in front of our boat and on the way back, saw several dolphins swimming and playing! Awesome tour!

    Response from the operator: Awesome review! Thanks for sharing your experience with everyone. Loved that you had such a great time driving our Go Cats Boat and experiencing the beauty and sea life. Come back soon!

    Give Go Cats a Try!

    This was one of our favorite activities while visiting Fort Myers. We didn't know what to expect with the "Go Cats", but they were actually a lot of fun! They go fast which is fun. We got to see several dolphins during the tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and provided different facts and history on the tour. He took the kids to a beach to find seashells. The company provides you cold water bottles to take on the Go Cats. Be aware that they do not have restrooms onsite at the meeting spot. You'll have to drive a few miles down the road to find a restroom. You may encounter mosquitos during parts of the tour, but the guide provided bug spray in advance to everyone. I appreciate the complimentary water and bug spray. It was a hot day, so the cold drinking water was appreciated! One opportunity I'll call out. During the tour, our guide had to stop several times to take phone calls from the owner. Each time the calls would take several minutes while we all had to stop and wait for the guide to complete his call. This happened three times and got to be a little frustrating. Aside from the opportunity mentioned above, this was a great experience. We would recommend this tour to others.

    Response from the operator: So glad this was one of your favorite things you've done while in southwest Florida! We love entertaining our guests with our fun boats, beautiful waterways and sea life. The beach stop for swimming and shelling is appreciated by our guests as well. So sorry about the phone calls. That was an anomaly for sure. Thanks for the wonderful review!

    Great experience.

    We had an absolute blast on this tour and would highly recommend it. Left out of Naples Bay, but with the 2.5 hr tour we had plenty of time to explore through the mangroves and visit a secluded beach for a quick 15 minute stop. Tour guide JT was great. It took a minute to get used to the steering of the boat, but it shouldn't scare you away. Much more interactive and fun that other large group tours we saw in the area.

    Response from the operator: Loved that you had an absolute blast! These are our own designed and built boats; perfect to explore the beautiful waterways around Naples. Thanks for the wonderful review and the high recommendations!

    Awesome Way to Explore the Back Water

    We went on a Tuesday which worked out perfect because it basically was just us and our tour guide JT. We had a fantastic time!

    Response from the operator: Glad you had such a fantastic time on our boats and with JT your guide. We love showing off our beautiful waterways and our fun to drive boats! Thanks for the review!

    Bring a sweatshirt for windy times. Fun ride with JT. He told us a lot about the area and we spent 25 minutes on a little beach.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for the great review! Glad you had such a great time out there!

    Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naples.

    How much does Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples cost?

    +

    Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naples usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naples is not rushed.

    Is Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naples, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naples can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naples and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Drive Our Exciting 2 man Go Cat Boat in Downtown Naples start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naples within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Naples?

    +

    Naples is the launch point for Everglades airboat rides and Ten Thousand Islands boat tours, along with shelling trips, sunset sails off the pier and small-group food walks downtown. On Outty we rank every Naples experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marco Island and Naples Pedal or Paddle Kayak Tour, Mangrove Tunnels & Mudflats Kayak Tour - Local Biologist Guides, Manatees and Mangrove Tunnels Small Group Kayak Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Naples?

    +

    November to April, the dry season with the best wildlife viewing. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Naples?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
