Captain Emily is wonderful! Our family has been riding with her for many years. She has a massive wealth of knowledge about every detail of the area, and you couldn't ask for anyone kinder or more fun to ride with. She has a sharp eye for wildlife and seems to have a particular magic for spotting dolphins. She's easy to communicate with, always on time, and absolutely terrific with kids. Whether you're looking for a beautiful wildlife, shelling, or sunset tour or simply a 100% reliable water taxi from one island to another, Captain Emily is always a great choice.

We have been coming to North Captiva island the past two summers, and will be continuing to come to this slice of paradise for years to come. Emmy Girl Charters is our go to for:
Water taxi service for arriving and departing (🥲)
-0 worries about Emmy Girl Charters being at the dock on time! A huge bonus point win for planning husbands!!
Wildlife, island hopping, old Florida history, Cabbage Key visit for the cheeseburger in paradise original, fishing and history of Pine Island sound, and a little shelling on Cayo Costa
- Emily is just amazing and fits right into our families antics and general vacation vibe.
Emmy Girl Charters is the one stop and only stop for all my boating needs for North Cap!! Regardless of my wife’s beliefs that I can captain a charter myself!!!

Captain Emily was awesome! She was on time for our charter to and from North Captiva. She offered great insight on things to do. On the trip back to the mainland, she even took time to show our kiddos some dolphin and was able to get them to jump and play behind the boat. What a great experience!!! We will definitely use her again on our next trip! Thanks Captain Emily!

Captain Emily is quite possibly the perfect ambassador for North Captiva Island and the surrounding islands. The moment we stepped onto the boat, she became part of our family. We highly recommend Captain Emily for charter tours and water taxi.

Captain Emily made our first trip to North Captivia an awesome one! She brought us to the island, gave us advice throughout our trip regarding some “hiccups” we ran into, squeezed us in her schedule for a boating adventure when our rented boat fell through, and returned us to the main land at the conclusion of our trip.
Capt Emily, we would have been lost without you. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge, care and compassion. You are amazing! God Bless!
Absolutely amazing experience! Emily was a very knowledgeable and fun captain to take us around the Pine Island sound. The trip was filled with wildlife and dolphins feeding and playing in the boat's wake. I highly recommend taking… More a tour!
Emily and her Emmy were an absolute delight! A last minute decision to take a boat trip out with the family, turned into one of the highlights of our trip. Emily was so accommodating, promising to take us out for a few hours with only… More 30 minutes notice. She was so knowledgeable about everything, from wildlife, especially birds, to island life and all of the history of the areas she took us to explore. The best part was that we not only saw dolphins on multiple occasions, her patience also ensured that they played with the wake from our boat and gave us the most incredible experience. Thank you Emily, we will be back for sure.

Our family had the best day on the water on a private charter with Emmy Girl Charters! Captain Emily was super nice and had excellent knowledge of everything from the local history of the islands to all the bird species that reside there.… More We started our day with lunch on Cabbage Key at the Dollar Bill Bar (so cool) and then headed to the Gulf side of Cayo Costa for a swim where we had the whole place to ourselves. Along the way, Emily pointed out all the interesting sights and facts and even stopped to let us enjoy watching a group of dolphins playing near us. The boat was clean, comfy and very spacious for the 6 of us, adults and teens, and had plenty of shade onboard as well. Thanks to Captain Emily, great memories were made and the whole family truly had a blast!!
Our group of six, including four adults and two teens, recently chartered EmmyGirl Charters for a four-hour excursion, and it was an awesome experience. Captain Emily was great—her expertise and enthusiasm most definitely made the trip… More memorable for us. We visited Cayo Costa and then to Cabbage Key, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. We even invited her to join us for lunch, which she accepted and shared lots of great stories. Captain Emily’s knowledge of the area’s history and wildlife kept us engaged throughout the trip and she did her very best to make sure we got to check out dolphins. If you’re looking for a personalized and informative charter experience, we highly recommend EmmyGirl Charters. She was communicative throughout the entire process from answering questions to booking, responsive to what we wanted to do, and was super hospitable. Captain Emily’s personality, and local knowledge made our day on the water awesome!
Captain Emily kept an eye on the weather and what started out looking like a not great boating day turned out to be absolutely wonderful. I have every confidence in her, and will recommend Emmy Girl Charters to anyone interested in a day… More on the water. For one of our group it was her first boating trip, first Manatee, first dolphin sighting. I say she hit it out of the park and made it enjoyable for everyone!
We loved our experience visiting Cabbage Key and watching the playful dolphins in our wake. Emily is a great captain with a superior knowledge of the environment and it's inhabitants. Highly recommend.
Emmy was amazing. Had 5 kids and she really took the time to make sure we got to see alot!! We must be lucky because we got dolphins and manatees side by side!! Ty! If I could download a video I would. ❤️
No other charters got back to us as quickly as Captain Emmy did (she answered right away), and what a good thing that turned out to be! We were blown away by her extensive knowledge of the history as well as of the local wildlife. She also… More went above and beyond what we expected, not only taking us where we had asked to go for lunch but also to see manatees, which we absolutely loved! I’d give Captain Emmy 6 stars if I could, and would highly recommend you book with her before anyone else.
Captain Emily shared her love of Pine Island Sound and the islands of Cabbage Key, Useppa, and Cayo Costa. We saw birds, manatee, and dolphins. My friends from Colorado loved it, especially the dolphins jumping the boat wake! Great day… More on the water thanks to our Captain!
The best water taxi service in the area! Captain Emily is polite, professional and very friendly. Do not hesitate to use Emmy Girl Charters for all your water taxi needs!
Emy is professional and knowledgeable. We had a beautiful day with the family on the spectacular waters near North Captiva. She showed us all the sights on her clean comfortable vessel, including dolphins, manatees, and birds. She has stories… More and information about all the local flora and fauna. Also, she is great with kids. Don’t wait! Book with Captain Emy NOW!
Captain Emily is a true professional. She is personable, knowledgeable and makes a day exploring the islands a memorable family experience! Highly recommend her services!

“So easy breezy to schedule and get to N. Captiva Island from the marina! Captain Emily is super knowledgeable about the area’s wildlife and history. Learned a lot in just a short ride to the island. Also took the time to stop so we could see the manatees and dolphins along the way! Highly recommend!”

“Beautiful, amazing day sight-seeing, checking out manatees and dolphins, having lunch on Cabbage Cay. First rate, great, very clean and comfortable boat, it will accommodate a large family, very dry and stable, no worries. And, Emmy knows the area, she knows lots of history, fun and interesting. Last time we visited the area, we rented a boat, huge mistake, especially since we know about Emmy Girl Charters.”
