Description

Join us on our brand new 45ft Custom Catamaran for an evening like no other! A scenic trip out the Intracoastal and along Shell Key Preserve provides us ample opportunities for dolphin sightings. Once stopped at Shell Key search for that perfect shell, and watch the sun kiss the horizon over the Gulf of Mexico. On our return trip, we’ll stop by the Pinellas Bayway Bridge for an amazing view of an "infinity of Cathedrals" tunnel effect...think photo ops!
