Fall break 2025 - It was breath taking the staff was amazing and friendly. The beach at shell island was beautiful 💕 I will say you need bug spray for the little pesky flies 🤣

Great way to enjoy the water without sitting on a beach all day. - Captain Mike, Jess and Lamar were great. Safety first but fun time. Good music too. . Saw a bunch of dolphins. Inflatables were fun but hard.

An amazing all female crew who knows how to find dolphins and has excellent customer service! - We had an amazing first experience with Jess and her all female crew going to Shell Island. She took her time finding dolphins and kept the boat consistently beside them or in their area. They all have EXCELLENT customer service and were absolutely GREAT with the children on board, including our son. We are definitely taking another trip and brining more family when we return.
