Captain Matt at the Helm - The private excursion to Shell and Dolphin was one of the most delightful surprises of our vacation. Captain Matt welcomed us warmly as we made our way to our private skiff. The journey to Shell Island in the Gulf was not only stunning but also felt almost dreamlike. What set this experience apart was that we were the sole family aboard, and Matt's calm demeanor and expert navigation made the ride even more enjoyable. As we searched for dolphins en route to Shell Island, we were fortunate enough to spot them; he kindly slowed the boat, allowing us to capture these precious moments. Upon arriving at the secluded paradise, we were astonished by the abundance of shells we discovered. Matt provided us with ample time to explore the island and was eager to answer any questions we had about the shells, showcasing his extensive knowledge and even locating shells we might have missed. He further enriched our experience by guiding us through the mangroves in search of other wildlife. This excursion is sure to exceed expectations; be sure to bring a lunch and perhaps some water shoes. With Captain Matt leading the way, unforgettable memories are guaranteed.

The Highlight of Our Trip to Naples - We were down visiting family in Naples and booked this trip for two children, and four adults. It was the highlight of everyone's trip. From seeing dolphins swimming around the boat, to walking with our captain Matt to collect shells on a private island (where Matt had so much knowledge and helped us find amazing shells), to seeing an amazing sunset on the boat ride home and letting the kids "drive" the boat, it was perfection from start to finish. This is a day I will cherish forever, and with all the shells we took home a reminder of this wonderful memory. If you are in Naples, this is not to be missed.

Saw sooo much! - Kasey was a bit hard to find but sooo worth it!! We saw dolphins, he explained so much history, and worked hard to keep our teens happy. Can’t believe how many shells we saw and appreciate all his local recommendations! Support local and go with these guys!

Dolphin and shelling Extravaganza!! - Captain Matt made for an amazing experience. He located plenty of dolphins and was an amazing captain. He was able to get the dolphins to play in our wake! The shelling trip was fun. He was able to find some great shells which he shared with my kids. We also learned a lot about the local osprey. There were dolphins everywhere in the mangroves. This was the best excursion we did in Marco Island. Highly recommended!!

We Wouldn’t Miss - From the minute we met Captain MATT, we knew we were going to have a great time! He was funny, friendly, know, and easy going. We saw dolphins right away, then off to the sand bar for a fun shelling experience and headed out again looking for dolphins until our time was up. We would do it again! Also, it was only the 4 in our group which made it such a better experience.

An afternoon on the waters of Marco Island - Our family enjoyed the island excursion with Captain Matt. They loved the variety of different &colorful shells. We were amazed to see dolphins leaping from the water several times with Captain Matt’s enticing abilities. Captain Matt was very knowledgeable of the surroundings & truly enjoyed being with us. Most important, made the kids at ease Thanks again for a lovely afternoon

Fun, sunny, beautiful with a dozen dolphins in the wild! - We had the best time with Captain Matt! We saw at least a dozen dolphins frolicking in the bay including a baby! Also osprey nests with little baby hatchlings. Captain Matt even got a dolphin to jump in the boat’s wake. The sand bar / island where we went shelling was unbelievable - all seashells of many kinds. Captain Matt knew the names of many shells and helped the kids find special ones to take home. He was really engaged the entire time and made sure we all had a great time. Terrific trip.

Unforgettable Adventure with Dolphins and Shells! - We had an amazing time exploring the water and wildlife! It was such a fun and memorable experience. We were lucky enough to see many dolphins up close, which was truly magical. Collecting shells along the way added to the adventure, making it even more special. The scenery was beautiful, and the overall experience was both relaxing and exciting. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great outdoor adventure!

Magical Experience - This was the highlight of our week in Florida. Captain Matt was so friendly, kind, knowledgable and skilled. We wished we had the whole day with him, the dolphins and shelling. The whole morning was magical for our whole group! We would do this trip every visit! Thank You so much

Great for families! - We went out with captain Matt. He was great with the kids and incredibly knowledgeable about Marco Island and it's wildlife. We saw dolphins, baby osprey in their nest, and learned all about the mangroves and various islands. If you're looking for an excursion for your family this is the one, you won't regret it.
