Everwater Charters and Tours is a Marco Island, Florida-based boat charter operator specializing in guided wildlife, shelling, and snorkeling experiences. Led by a Florida Master Naturalist captain, the company provides private charters, shared shelling excursions, eco-focused dolphin tours, and customizable trips that highlight the region’s coastal ecology.
The company’s itinerary lineup includes the Ten Thousand Islands Eco/Dolphin Tour, multiple shelling tours (private and shared), guided Keewaydin Island excursions, a Florida Keys private shelling & snorkeling option, and fully Custom Private Tours tailored to guest interests. Each trip emphasizes responsible wildlife viewing, local conservation practices, and educational interpretation of habitats and species found along Florida’s Gulf Coast and nearby keys.
Keewaydin Island tours visit a barrier island accessible only by boat, focusing on pristine beaches and shelling opportunities. The Florida Keys private shelling & snorkeling experience is offered as a customized, sustainable outing that follows local regulations and responsible marine practices. Shared shelling tours combine group exploration with expert guidance for finding and identifying shells.
Custom private tours can include activities such as waterfront dining, targeted wildlife viewing (dolphins and manatees), and sunset cruises to suit families and small groups. Safety protocols, local knowledge, and Master Naturalist-guided interpretation contribute to a dependable, family-friendly marine experience in Marco Island and the Ten Thousand Islands.
