Lovely relaxing day on the water! - Captain Matt was a great private guide for our morning boat trip to Shell Island! He was kind, relaxed, and knowledgeable about the area. He seemed engaged and excited to try to help the kids find star fish and sand dollars in the ocean. Overall, would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to book a small private boat tour! We will definitely book him again when we are back in the area.

Great charter & captain! Nice, clean boat with tons of onboard fun! - Really great private charter and Captain Matt is amazing. He is knowledgeable, helpful, fun, super accommodating and helped us make our trip to PCB memorable. The boat is clean, well kept and the slide, inflatable paddle board, and floats were fantastic. He even has a large cooler stocked with ice so we didn’t have to bring our own. When we were done he was ready to move and he found us some dolphins on the way back to the marina too. Great hard working guy! Will definitely book again!

This was a lot of fun! - This was a lot of fun! We got to see dolphin, turtles and starfish! We even were able to hold the starfish we found. That was the first time we have ever done that, super cool! Captain Matt was nice, fun and accommodating. He had a cooler with ice for our drinks/sandwiches. We got to play whatever music we wanted on the Bluetooth speaker. Will definitely be back if we ever come back to this area.

Great Family Day on the water - My family of 5 had an amazing afternoon. We were taken to Shell Island, and along the way Captain Matt stopped to show us sea turtles! At Shell Island we enjoyed the floating devices he has, as well as using the slide on the boat! On the way back we stopped at another spot and were able to see starfish and other little creatures! We really appreciated Matt’s expertise and this was an unforgettable excursion!

What a great experience ! - This was a great experience for the family! We found starfish, sand dollars, shells, conch, hermit crabs, and dolphins. Captain Matt makes sure you don’t leave without some ocean souvenirs! The places we stopped were great locations to sit back and relax or have a ton of fun in the water. My grandma who doesn’t know how to swim had tons of fun on the boat and enjoying the views. The rest of the family got into the water and made great use of the slide! Matt supplies heavy duty floats for you to relax in the water. There was also a speaker on board so we could dance around in any place we stopped. My 9 year old niece said she would give it a 10/10 and so would the rest of us! Matt was very informative about the sea and held great conversation with our family! Would definitely recommend for all ages and groups of people whether it’s a family, a group of friends, or a couple!

Thanks Captain Matt! - This was totally worth the price. We had the boat all to ourselves and captain Matt took us to a couple of different spots. We swam, paddled, saw dolphins, starfish, went down the slide and just enjoyed cruising and the gorgeous views. Captain Matt was great! Our family loved it!
