Amazing Shelling Experience! - We took a shared tour with Captain Jason in January and had a fantastic experience. We were a group of three, two adults and our shell-obsessed 7 year old daughter, and we had a wonderful morning out with the group. We have done many other shared and private shelling tours, and this was by far the best due to the care that Jason took in taking us to particular islands, giving tips about where to look, and even offering education on shells and new ecological classifications. We will be booking more tours in the future and can't recommend highly enough!

Everwater Charters and Tours is top notch! - Everwater Charters and Tours is absolutely the best charter and tour operation for the Ten Thousand Islands!! Captain Jason and the gang are all very professional, informative, helpful and fun! They choose the best areas to shell at for the conditions and go along with the group.

Best salty adventure! - This tour was epic! Captain Jason took us to the perfect place to find shells! From the moment we left the dock, Captain Jason was taking amazing care of us and explaining things so well. He has an incredible knowledge of all things ocean related! He truly makes the tour more interesting and enjoyable.

Always Excellent! - We had our 2nd tour with Jason last week and as usual it was fun and worthwhile. We didn't get as many as last year (which was phenomenal) and he helped prepare our expectations with his knowledge of the area, the weather, past weather, wind, etc. There hadn't been any good winds, wave action, or storms recently so one island was kinda white-washed with sun-bleached shells that had washed up the last time there was good wave action. He dropped us off at a couple of places and then would move the boat to another place - all easy to get to. He also helped with the shelling as well. He's super friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us helpful tips for going to Keewaydin. We will continue to use Jason's services any time we're in Marco! He's a "friend" now!

Another fabulous morning on the water and the islands with Everwater Charters - As always, I had a fantastic morning on Everwater Charters!! Captain Jason knows the waters and the islands...he knows where the shells are. He is also passionate about the ecosystem and takes the time to point out birds and widlife along the way.

EVERWATER SHELL TOUR ROCKS! - I shell....a lot...with tours and on my own. I tried Everwater for the 1st time yesterday, Captain Jason and his beautiful partner Christine were SHELLazing!! They took me to the exact spot to find what I was on a mission for...sand dollars, I made it home with 40, unbroken!! Capt Jason taught me how to walk zig zag across the sandbar and how to spot them. We went to Dickmans and Kice islands within the 10,000 Islands, awesome shells on both but Dickmans is my favorite. I found a great variety of shells murex, whelks, olives. fighting conch, shark eyes, gaudy nautica and a few worms shells. Take a tour with Everwater, you won't be disappointed. I am making Everwater my go to tour company when I have visitors, we live in southeast FL, definitely worth the trip over alligator alley!l Thank you Jason and Christine, I will be seeing you monthly during low tide!!
