Extraordinary Shelling Morning On Kice Island. - My wife and I had a wonderful experience shelling the Kice Island area with Captain Marco on October 3rd. It just so happened we were the only two people on this trip which made it extra special for my wife's birthday. Captain Marco was an expert on all the shells we found, helping us identify even the tiniest ones we didn't recognize. He is also very friendly and outgoing which made for a very comfortable morning. We have never had a better shelling experience. The boat we sailed on is very modern, smooth, and had all the appurtenances one could want. We were lucky to be able to visit 6 different beaches because it was only my wife and me. Capt. Marco was also very helpful aiding my wife in getting in and out of the boat. She has some difficulty walking but managed just fine on this trip. My wife and I highly recommend Florida Adventures and Rentals if you are looking for an extraordinary, outstanding morning or afternoon around Kice Island! Thank you, Captain Marco!

A great experience - Marco, our guide, could not have been more accommodating. His passion for the 10,000 Lakes was evident. His knowledge base of shells and wildlife was broad. We saw many dolphins, including 4 or more, that played in the wake between two boats. It was the closest we have been to dolphins. The shelling was top-notch also. Truly, if you get the opportunity, don't pass it up

Unforgettable experience with Florida Adventures and Rentals in Marco Island! - We had an unforgettable experience with Florida Adventures and Rentals in Marco Island! Our shelling tour was nothing short of incredible and Colleen was the perfect host—knowledgeable, welcoming and full of warmth. She made the entire adventure seamless and fun for the whole family. This is a memory we’ll treasure forever. Highly, highly recommend—and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Best shelling, best guide! - Marco was THE BEST! Not only did he take us to the best, least populated spots for shelling, he also provided ice cold water (for those of us of a certain age that wore out quickly) and even carried our shells back to the car! Super bonus... his knowledge of all things marine and local.

We saw nature showing off! - This was the most wonderful excursion. Captain Colleen is so knowledgeable and taught us so much - from local history to biology. We had a beautifully curated experience, found amazing shells, watched dolphins play and hunt, and made precious family memories with our teenager and young adult children. I would go on this excursion with Captain Colleen time and time again. 10/10!! See you next year!

Beautiful Shells a Plenty! - My friend and I booked at the last minute and were thrilled with the experience. Captain Colleen was highly qualified, both Coast Guard certified and a knowledge naturalist. She helped us find and identify all the beautiful seashells we could want and the birds flying and nesting as we travelled.
