About

Enjoy an approximate 20 minute boat ride into the Ten Thousand Islands where we will visit one of a handful of barrier Islands and shell for a large variety of colorful shells in all shapes and sizes. This tour is run specifically by tide for optimum shell exposure. We offer different trip lengths.

Depending on the tide we offer charters from 3 to 6 hours. The lower the tide, the longer the trip you can do.

While we will happily take you out for as long as you like, certain tides are not conducive to longer trips and would be a waste of money We will always advise you on your best options to ensure your getting the most productive charter and not wasting your money.

It's important to understand a "Shelling Trip" is just that! We want to maximize your shelling experience and will not use your time on other activities. The trip involves a quick boat ride to a barrier island in the 10,000 Islands where you will disembark the boat and be free to explore the island for the shells you are hunting. When the time is over you will get back on the boat for a quick ride back to dock we left from. If you are looking for information on the wildlife and surrounding area please consider a combo tour or one of our eco tours which go into educated detail about the living creatures in our unique eco system.
