Bob Lee, a now-deceased retired oil producer, spent much of the years 1978 and 1979 surveying and purchasing land on Cape Romano in hopes of constructing a vacation home.He eventually purchased four adjacent plots of land for his project.
In 1980, Lee began constructing the home, which was a white-painted concrete structure. He purchased a barge to transport supplies for the building. The house consisted of six stout, interconnected dome structures, which made up the rooms of the house, and some of which had two levels. It was 2,400 square feet and featured three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Ask for Captain Marco - he is a native of Marco Island and a master naturalist who knows every bird, shell, animal, canal, tree and the history of the island. I would do it again in a second.

Publicado el Lunes, 06 de febrero del 2017What a hidden gem experience here on Marco Island!!! Ideal activity for all ages we're 30-somethings. We took the 2-hour 9am boat tour. The perfect mix of calm waters, warm, bright sunshine and a cool coastal breeze!
Highlights:
- The tour company picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel even though the marina is only a few blocks down the boardwalk which is very convenient.
- Capt. Chris was extremely hospitable and knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the area and island wildlife.
- Capt. Chris took us to a private beach for shelling. We found 100 beautiful conchs, welks, moon snails and even a full sand dollar! It's best to come on the morning tour before others get the best pickings!
- In addition to seeing several dolphins nearby, Capt. Chris raced a particularly playful one who jumped the waves in our wake for 10 minutes.My wife and I highly recommend this tour to everyone who comes down here to Marco Island. We can't wait to bring our kids back here. They would love this tour, too!

Capt.Chris was great! He was very friendly, informative and accommodating. We forgot our sunscreen but no worries he had it covered as he pulled some out for us. It was a great tour where we got to see several different birds and had dolphins jumping in our wake. I had family visiting and they just loved this tour. 1st rate service with a smile. I highly recommend!
