My family and I had the...
My family and I had the best day out on the water with Cpt Mike! My husband and I booked as a group of 5 with 14 and 10y old boys and my mother as well. Everything was a breeze and tailored to our preferences including departure time. We enjoyed shelling, swimming and taking in the scenery along the bay. But, the highlight was definitely when Mike got a pod of dolphins to play in the boat’s wake! We will be sure to recommend this trip to anyone we know coming to the area and hope to one day make it back ourselves!

Fantastic, Capt Yak is great!
We had a great time on this experience! Captain Yak is so knowledgeable of the wildlife and environment. We learned so much. Went at an easy pace, no rushing, and let the kids (12 and 11) go together in their own kayak. The mangroves were enjoyable to be immersed in. Highly recommend’

Amazing experience
To start, I had purchased the 2.5 hour tour that went to Shell Key. Due to weather issues I got a call saying our tour was being canceled so they offered us the 4 hour tour that was a day earlier. I am so happy we were able to make that work. It was SO much fun.
The 2 gentlemen that were our guides were awesome! Very informative and super friendly.
I would definitely recommend this experience.

Dolphin Watching Fun!!
We were greeted so kindly and barely off the dock when we were up close and personal with several dolphins! Our crew knew just where to find them all along our journey to Shell Island! It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience! I highly recommend the trip!

Worth every penny, great afternoon
Great afternoon, good exercise, went with regular kayaks for low tide- the right move- the mangrove islands and shell key were fun to explore, learned a lot, and had time to wander the beach too. Our guide, Claire, is very knowledgeable and patient, great guide- ask for Claire!

Great 3hr boat ride viewing dolphins and picking shells
Paul (in charge) was very personable and was always checking if you needed anything. Got close up to many dolphins and they slowed and stopped the boat to watch. Shell Key was a great stop for picking shells. Viewing the houses and boats on the way out and back in was worth the ride itself. All 5 of us enjoyed this trip and would do it again.

Amazing!!!
My friends & I did a 2 hour tiki cruise with Captain Bob for my bachelorette party and we had so much fun!! Captain bob was so friendly and engaging and made us laugh with his dad jokes and funny questions about my fiance. It was a blast and the sandbar was so nice even in February!!! Would totally recommend!

Taylor was a great guide!...
Taylor was a great guide! She took our interests into account throughout the tour; she was very knowledgeable and shared great information about local wildlife and the area with us!
Additionally, she was very understanding when a multilingual member of our group was tough to understand and ensured that his question was answered!

Sisters on the Sea under the Stars
Captain Paul’s cruise was well-timed and so much fun. I invited my two sisters. One of my sisters loves shells. She had her own bucket and filled it. While my other sister was fascinated by the Skyway Bridge. We all loved being on the water and gazing at the stars.

Nick was wonderfull
Very accommodating, anyone could do it. Nick was wonderFULL, very patient and knowledgeable. This tour was not only a hit for our family visiting us, but was also a hit for our 10yro. A lot of stops. I love that he emphasized the importance of taking everything back that your brought and the importance of everything in the ecosystem.

Cool trip for the fam!
Solid value,
Besides the beauty of the destinations on this trip the guides made sure we were able interact with various sea life. Even when conditions were challenging they went above and beyond finding the right spots to explore.
The dolphins were a lil shy until the end but it made the trip into the marina more fun.

It was phenomenal! Great trip!
The boat ride out to the island took about an hour. The captain gave some history/information about what we were seeing. The crew was very accommodating and took good care of us all!
We were on the island for about 2 hours. It was a little deceiving coming up on the island. The captain told us the far side of the island would be a better shelling/swimming area - he just didn’t say anything about the people. It wasn’t awful! crowded but it was crowded. Lots of boats - some people had the whole picnic/grilling setup going on. But the water was great and we swam some and the worked our way back around, closer to the boat.
And then the hour ride ride back to the dock.
The only disappointment was the dolphins did not make an appearance, but a manatee did.
We will do this again!!
