Best tour ever!!! - Captain Marco brought us to multiple different shelling spots. He taught us so much about the local wildlife and we even had dolphins following our boat. Shelling was the reason we took this trip and this tour exceeded every expectation!!! Thank you for the amazing memories ❤️

Amazing time shelling and seeing wildlife - Trip was excellent, got out of the harbor early and visited a few different locations. Lots of great shells to find and we also got to see lots of wildlife including birds and dolphins. This was certainly one of the highlights of our trip

World's Best Shelling Tour - Our guide was Colleen and she is excellent. She taught us about all the birds we saw. She took us to excellent shelling places and is a very pleasant knowledgeable woman. We enjoyed it so much we would have gone back the very next day to do it all again. Ask to go with her you will not be disappointed!

Best shelling of my life! - This was the best shelling tour I have ever been on! Captain Paul Stancati is awesome! He taught us so much about the different kind of shells and even helped us find some. This was a mother teenage daughter trip and we went soon after Hurricane Milton. Probably the trip of a lifetime! Will never forget Sand Dollar Shelling and Captain Stancati! They are the best!

Shell Tour of 10,000 islands - Our Captain Matt was amazing. We took the boat out really early and started looking for shells. The shells are only half of the experience as we saw many birds and fish in the area as we watched the sun rise. Mat knew a lot about how the animals, fish and birds all interacted with each other in the ecosystem. He also knew a lot about each and every shell, how it grew and what was inside each shell before the occupant died. He also knew and lived a lot of the history of the area. We will never forget this experience in such a beautiful place of 17,000 islands....see Matt I did learn something.

A Sheller’s Dream! - We did the morning shelling tour with Capt. Marco and it turned out we were the only two people on the tour! What a treat we had… we saw the sunrise from an uninhabited shelling island, we went to a few different rich shelling locations, saw many dolphins and learned so much from Capt. Marco about the ecosystems and history of the area. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Marco Island! This was heaven on earth for this shelling enthusiast. Having 2 dolphins surfing in the wake of our boat, was an extra special treat. Capt. Marco knows where the shells are and where the wild life are likely to be.

Best Shelling Trip Ever!!! - This was the best shelling trip I have been on and we had such a great time. I found more shells on this trip than I have at Sanibel over the years. I could of got more shells but knew we had to fly home. Captain Marco was awesome and very informative and knowledgeable. We even saw a few dolphins on our way back. We will definitely do this again on our next visit to Marco Island and I hope we can request Captain Marco :)
