Great trip add on for ANY age! - We cannot express enough how truly exceptional our experience was with this company! Despite planning last minute with three adults and four young children, the father-daughter duo provided us with unparalleled respect and fun throughout our voyage. Witnessing dolphins for the first time and collecting an abundance of shells created memories we'll cherish forever. We wholeheartedly endorse this adventure—prepare to be amazed!

Great ride to shell key - Captain Cuda and his 1st mate Darin showed us an excellent time. We didn’t see any dolphins at first but they went out of there way to find some. It was much appreciated. Bonus for spotting the manatees.
Shell Key was a nice change of pace. We were really glad our party of 7 picked this excursion.

Nice family charter - Very easy to book and no-hassle in and out right off of Gulf blvd. Friendly crew. Saw several dolphins on the cruise. Shelling was so-so but that can’t be controlled. Great time for families even young kids. Could have been longer on the shelling/snorkeling part. Crew stated they did not have snorkeling gear for small kids. We brought our own. Recommended.

Great afternoon getaway! - The ride was amazing! Our captains were great! We were able to see several dolphins and a manatee on our trip! Shell Island had several neat shells and many sand dollars! Overall 10/10 would book again!

Skip it - Thought you advertised a 4 hr trip, was only a 2 hr trip. Most disappointing. Shelling was almost non-existent. More shells on the beach by the hotel. Did see a few Dolphins, but too far away to get a good view and too many other boats in the way.
Boat hands were very nice, trip was safe.
