I highly recommend this trip to anyone! Perfect for both kids and adults. The captains were warm and welcoming, like greeting an old friend. The boat was exceptionally clean and well taken care of with plenty of seating and even a bathroom. They provided free ice cold water but there was also a bar to purchase beverages if desired. The captain would narrate points of interest along the route to Shell Key but did not over do it. We had several dolphin sightings and the captain would head over to the area for a better view but was always respectful of the dolphin’s space. We also had a manatee swim by once we landed on the island. I loved that they provided snorkels and masks so we could get an up close view under the water. I even made friends with a fish! I highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to get out on the water, see some aquatic life, and relax on a remote island.
Excellent experience! The captains were knowledgeable and the boat ride and time at the beach were so fun! It was plenty of time to snorkel and look for shells
Our captains Bob and Avery were amazing, they gave so many interesting facts along the trip. We also found many shells, sand dollars , and even saw some dolphins on the way back! Would definitely recommend this! 10/10 experience!
Such a great time and the captains were wonderful! Highly reco
