Lunch with an Icon

The Paradise Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau held their annual Tourism Awards on October 12th. The Dolphin Explorer’s Bob McConville and his wife had the honor of sharing lunch with world-renowned and legendary photographer and author Clyde Butcher, his wife Nikki and daughter Jacki. Mr. Butcher was the recipient of the 2023 Centennial Legend Award, an honor bestowed to just a handful of recipients over the years. The Dolphin Explorer was the winner of the 2022 Best Eco Adventure and was a top five qualifier for that award again this year, the only Marco Island tour in the category. They did not win this year but were satisfied to bring recognition to Marco Island for the honor bestowed upon them.
