Times are local (America/New York). Golden hour is the hour before sunset, when the light comes off the water at an angle and the photographs start working.
BoatingExcellent
Seas around 0.3 ft with 7 mph of wind — flat enough for small boats and cameras.
SwimmingExcellent
Water at 79°F with 0.3 ft of surf — warm, and calm enough for children.
FishingExcellent
Seas 0.3 ft, wind 7 mph on a 3s swell — offshore is on the table.

Plan around it
The forecast is only useful if it changes the plan. These are the Marco pages that match each kind of day.
Indoor and under-cover plans that do not depend on the sky clearing.
On the water and in it — the things a calm, warm day is actually for.

The longer view
Today's forecast tells you what to wear. This tells you when to come.
Marco Island runs its warmest in summer (June – August), averaging 91°F by day and 75°F overnight. Winter (December – February) is the other end of it: highs around 76°F, lows near 57°F. That is a 34-degree spread between the hottest afternoon and the coldest night of a typical year, which is why the same packing list does not work twice here. Visitor numbers track it closely — winter is full, fall is quiet — so the cheapest weather is rarely the most comfortable weather.

Book around it
Departures cancel for weather, not for forecasts. Check the operator's own cancellation terms before you book on a marginal day.

Per-seat pricing, fixed departure times, and other people on the boat. For one or two of you this is almost always the right call.
