We had a fabulous time!! Staff was so friendly and helpful! Loved this tour !!

Shell island and dolphins tour

We had the best time on our trip to Shell Island on the Grand Mere!  The captain and crew were super friendly and helpful and the drinks were amazing.  Shell Island was beautiful and we saw plenty of dolphins and a few sea turtles on the way there and back.  My only complaint is that the trip wasn’t long enough:).  We’ll definitely book again next time we’re in Florida!

The Best Afternoon Excursion!

Lots of fun

Good travel

So very nice and relaxing to be on this awesome boat with a great crew too. The Capt asked my grandson if he would like to drive the boat. WOW!!! he was so very excited. The price for 3.5 hours was so very worth the time. A family of 5 were able to enjoy this experience together without burning the wallet. Highly recommend.

An awesome experience for a great price.

Did see a dolphin at Shell Island and kids had fun looking for fish.   Captain Kerry was laid back and agreeable to our preference of snorkeling as much as we wanted vs going back out and looking for more dolphins.  Fair price for a 3hr excursion. If looking for a private boat would recommend Captain Kerry.

Private boat to Shell Island

We picked this tour because we didn’t want to be on a boat with a lot of other people. Our 12:30pm adventure with Capt.. Kerry was PERFECT! Pick up instructions were clear, parking was easy  (even on a Saturday!) and he was prompt. Kerry and my husband chatted about local history and sites while my teens and I enjoyed the ride. He took us right to a pod of dolphins (literally 3 feet from the boat!!) and then over to shell island. He provided the snorkeling equipment and nets and gave us the lowdown. The kids had a blast snorkeling the rocks and grabbed treats from the floating ice cream vendor. Kerry was good company for anyone taking a break and was so courteous. He seemed to have anything we’d forgotten. Boat was super clean. Great time had by all!!!

Easy, flexible and relaxing

Kerry was very knowledgeable of the area and made sure we had the best experience.  It was a perfect day!

My family of 6 had a great time with Marcus! We had questionable weather and he made sure to watch the radar and ensure our safety.. He stayed in touch with me via text and we had a great time! Took us to two locatIons to jump out and snorkel plus collected tons of seashells. Saw plenty of fish, some  sea urchins, a few jellyfish, and the weather and water was perfect. Had a great time visiting with Marcus! Highly recommend for that private tour feel without the private tour cost! Thanks Marcus!

Our experience was great! We were the only two passengers and felt like we got a private tour. Marcus was an excellent guide! Not only did we enjoy the shell island, but he also took us to see the dolphins and the pelican island and told us some interesting facts. Overall, it was great and we would come back and do the tour again.

Everything was great. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful, very friendly.

Marcus was knowledgeable and took time to show us a great time!

Great trip

Our trip was  amazing . We saw dolphins and many sites around the bay and little history and just overall had a fantastic time.

Excellent

We had a great time out on the boat! Our host was pleasant company and a very interesting person to talk to. We saw some dolphin fins in the distance, moving quickly away from us.  Obviously, it would have been amazing to have gotten a better view, but that’s not promised. We did enjoy ourselves and the areas we explored.
