It was a great! Mike and Morgan were great! There is cruise itself was enjoyable, with dolphins swimming around us in the wake of the boat! We collected sooo many shells! The beach definitely delivered! There is a bathroom on the boat. However, the door does not stay shut, even when locked! A kind lady held the door for me after a “bump” sent it wide open! All in all, it was a great experience for us!
Shell of a good time!!

Mike and Morgan did a fantastic job crewing us over to Shell island! We found more shells than we’ve ever seen. They pointed out all the dolphins and were great tour guides.
Great adventure

It was very enjoyable and relaxing. Plenty of time to look for shells and you could go out on your own with no worries. Thank you Captain Mike and mate Brandy.

The ferry ride over to Shell Key was pleasant, and we saw dolphins. Upon arrival and disembarking, it was obvious the shelling would be fantastic. Shell beds along the strand line as far as you can see, and not a lot of people.There is a huge variety of shells, and I found a small horse conch, banded tulips, sand dollars, spiral murex, whelks, olives, coral, and more. It helps to be picky about what you keep, since there are so many treasures! The guides, Nate and Mike were informative and friendly, and Nate made holes in some of my smaller shells for necklaces- a complimentary thing they offer on the boat on the way back! Fun day. Would highly recommend!
Wonderful day on the...

Great experience. The island is gorgeous, lots of beautiful shells, plenty of room to explore without being right on top of other people. Mike and Nick did a great job getting us there safely, telling fun stories, pointing out attractions along the way, and making sure everyone on board had an opportunity to see any dolphins along the way. Great way to spend a few hours. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful, relaxing and informative cruise with Mike and Sonya. On the way to shell island in the gulf and on the way back via the intercoastal waterway we saw dolphins and manatees. The island did not disappoint. There were shells all over the beach. We did not go in the water but those who did found some large interesting shells. While there folks spotted a stingray, manatees and small sand sharks. It was well worth the money and if you get Mike and Sonya as your crew it’s a bonus!
