An Awesome Time - An awesome trip with a very knowledgeable crew. We saw dolphins and had a blast snorkeling. The trip length is just enough for an afternoon or morning on the water.

Family Friendly Snorkeling - Great captain and a great crew! Shared information about the area and ocean life. We are a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. All enjoyed this experience. There were young families on the trip with us and they were also fine. Kids can play on the shore at shell island or snorkel.

Awesome experience - Jaya and Sophia were amazing, they were super nice and sweet and knew exactly what they were doing and talking about. The trip was the perfect amount of time. Me and my family had an amazing time. We seen a bunch of dolphins, a sea turtle, jelly fish, sand dollars, Hermet crabs and sea urchins. Really cool experience that we will definitely do again, next time we come to Florida.
