About
Join us for an unforgettable half-day adventure as we explore two breathtaking islands, offering the perfect mix of snorkeling, shelling, dolphin encounters, and relaxation.
Our journey begins with a scenic boat ride where we search for playful bottlenose dolphins. These curious creatures love to surf and jump in our single-hull boat’s wake, creating incredible up-close encounters you won’t forget!
Our first stop takes you to crystal-clear waters surrounding an island where you’ll snorkel Egmont Key. Discover vibrant marine life, spot tropical fish, and explore the underwater world in one of Florida’s most stunning snorkeling spots.
Next, we head to a pristine, secluded island where you can step ashore and explore. Enjoy walking along the soft, white sand beaches, collect unique shells and shark teeth, or simply relax and soak in the beauty of this untouched paradise.
We are family-friendly and welcome guests of all ages. Our Coast Guard Certified Captains and crew ensure a safe and exciting experience for everyone on board.
Please arrive 30 minutes before your availability start time. The boat will depart on time. Check-in at the checkered flag.
