Captain Clay and his crew were the best! Trust me in saying you don’t want to miss out on this tour! - Wow! This was an amazing cruise and the crew could not be beat! We were disappointed that we didn’t see but two dolphins however the awesome crew made up for that. Capt. Clay, Shane, Sarah, and Willow made this a highlight of our vacation. Capt. Clay treated my mom like a queen. She gets motion sickness and still chose to go on this tour because my niece and nephew wanted to go. Capt. Clay was constantly talking to mom and checking on her to make sure she was comfortable. He truly loves his job, and it shows in how well he treated everyone! We are so thankful that he was our captain and if we ever found ourselves back in the area we would definitely book a cruise with him again! Thank you for making this a trip we will definitely never forget! God Bless each of you!

Book the excursion!! - We had an exceptional time! It was a little bit cold this time of year but we had a great experience with the staff and the excursion. Highly recommend! The guy even let us have the kids test out driving the boat. Super cool. 30/10 recommend! We saw so many dolphins and cool fish during snorkeling.

Great way to visit Shell Island - This excursion had a great variety of activities all packed in a 3 hour tour. Take your pick…swimming, snorkeling, or hunting for shells along the gulf shore. As an added bonus the captain located a large school of dolphins that were playfully swimming around our boat. Staff was awesome, highly recommend.
