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.
