Amazing experience! - This was an amazing tour. Captain Zach made the experience so fun and relaxing. He showed us dolphins, sea turtles. We even held a jellyfish. He was nice, informative and treated us like friends. We will definitely do this again when we return to Florida.

Perfect two-hour tour!! - Our excursion with Captain Zach was top notch! He knew so much about the bay and gulf, and was able to tell us about the beautiful dolphins, starfish, Fighting Conchs, stone crabs, sand dollars, urchins and more we found! Next time we will hope to see Green Sea Turtles! The boat and snorkel masks were immaculate. Thanks for a wonderful morning cruise!

- Captain was very knowledgeable.. Boat was very clean. Would recommend this for your shell island adventure. Captain got off the boat with us and told us all about the island. Took extra time to find sea turtles and dolphins.
