Awesome shelling tour & dolphin show - We had the best day and best tour! The dolphins performed for us thanks to Capitan Paul S!!! He is the dolphin whisperer! We were taken to 2 islands to shell and found tons!!! Capital Paul was so helpful pointing out shells we didn't even see and was super knowledgeable of the shells and their names. We had a great day and a ton of laughs thanks to our Captian! Highly recommend the tour and be sure you get Captain Paul S. and don't forget to tip, he's worth it!

JC - We had such a great day! Our captain was the best! He walked with us & explained shells to us & found some great shells that he gave to all of us. We had fun on the boat by stirring up the dolphins to play in the wake of our boat. The dolphins were everywhere! It is a tour that you don't want to miss!

Perfect day on the water with kids and grandkids - We had 6 adults and 4 kids from 10 years old to 6 months, The boat was perfect!!, having a real bathroom is also a major plus. Comfortable, safe, shady with the Tiki roof, and equipped with 2 powerful outboard engines. Captain Paul and Captain Evan were our guides. They were great, the cruise around Port royal was fun, and the shelling for the kids was so much fun!! Captain Paul show samples of various shells explaining their names and info about each. That was key as the kids were finding shells everywhere on the beach. There were 2 coolers full of ice for our lunch and drinks to go. 3 hours was perfect for the kids and the weather was great also. It was the absolute perfect family boating and shelling experience.
