A nice, peaceful day on the water.

What a great experience. Captain John is also the coach of my son’s Little League baseball team, so he took some of the players and parents over to Shell island for the afternoon. He took us cruising to watch dolphins play and then let the boys/parents play in the water and enjoy the beach. The boat was well prepared, safe and secure, and Captain/Coach John was a professional and accommodating host in every way. I’d highly recommend this business and trip for families, or just anyone that wants a peaceful relaxing day on the water.

This was completely worth it!! Fun times!!

Captain John was awesome. He got out a water hammock and a paddle board for us when we got to shell beach and helped us learn how to paddle board. You can bring your own food and drink. We had 6 in our party and you get to play your music via Bluetooth during the whole cruise. We absolutely highly recommend captain John!

Well worth the money

Our captain was soooo good. Funny friendly and helpful. His name is Edward if you get a chance to request your captain. Well worth the money.

Operator response

Captain Edward is a fantastic member of our team and always has a smile on his face. He loves taking guests around in the tiki and it shows. Mahalo
