Great 10,000 islands tour - Josh and Alisha took four of us out in January 2023. We saw porpoise jumping and following us. Stopped several times to see birds and take pics. We went shelling and they walked with us describing the shells we picked. They were wonderful and we would highly recommend taking a tour with them! They were delightful!

Secrets and Gems of the West Coast - Shelling is our new addiction!!! She’ll island is a must to visit. Being a Floridian…. I had no idea it existed and I’m now hooked . Looking forward to bringing more friends and family on this adventure. We were the last group to see the domes exposed…. After hurricane Ian I hope Captain continues to show others the secrets and gems of the west coast! This tour is relaxing and enjoyable during a time of distress. KEEP THIS SMALL BUSINESS ALIVE FOR OTHERS IN NEED 💕 SUPPORT OTHERS ✌🏻 BE KIND

Incredible shelling trip with the best of the best guides! - My husband and I booked a shelling tour with Jason and Christina and we had zero regrets. They were both incredibly kind and knowledgeable about where to go and what you could find. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the sights we saw, the shells we found, and the entire experience! The dolphins that chased our surf so close to the boat on our way back were an added bonus. Will definitely be booking another trip with them!

Best shell/eco tour in SWFL :) - Best nature/eco/dolphin/shelling tour in SWFL!! We had a blast with Capt Jason, He is a native to South Florida and very personable and knowledgeable about the area and 1000 islands. He showed us all around the islands and explained how to look for shells and what species they were. How beautiful it was to be the only ones on the island ! We cruised around the Cape Romano dome homes and came across pods of dolphin that surfed with us behind the boat. It was truly a amazing day with my family on the water . We can’t wait to come back and explore the islands with Jason and Cristina . My kids loved it ! Thanks again !

Loved our eco tour - Had the pleasure of taking our family of 4 (2 adults 2 children) on a private eco tour with Jason in January. Jason was able to accommodate us on short notice due to some inclement weather days earlier. He asked questions about our preferences to ensure the experience was what we were looking for, not a cookie cutter trip. We have some family members who get mild motion sickness so we shared that ahead of time and he was very conscience of that along the way. We decided to go shelling and do some fishing. While shelling, he was very insightful and showed us which ones to look for, where, and why they are there. Seeing our kids were getting mildly frustrated not finding the "best" ones, Jason found a few for them and pointed them in the right direction. We did some fishing at a few spots too. He baits and hooks everything for you if you aren't experienced. He spent time teaching us where the fish would be, and why they are there. We very much appreciated the learning aspect of the trip. He helps younger ones reel in a fish if they are having trouble, and he is more than happy to hand his line over to a child so they can feel the rush of catching something. Everyone left catching a fish so it was a great experience. On our way back we encountered some dolphins and they followed us for while. The entire time, Jason was very fauna and environmentally friendly. We kept our safe distance from animals and we did catch and release fishing. He was a great teacher and listener the during the entire trip, and we highly recommend Jason.

"Not just a boat ride!" - Capt Jason provided an amazing experience! This isn't just a boat ride- he spends time sharing his knowledge and passion about Florida's marine environment and showing you around the islands. I highly recommend Capt Jason's tour whether you are a local or a visitor. Top notch customer service and a fantastic way to spend your day.
