Enjoy our water trampolines, see-saw called the “rockit” and other inflatable fun! If you’re looking for something more low-key, explore on a kayak or paddleboard and give snorkeling a try. You can take in the natural beauty that Shell Island has to offer or if you want, hang out on the bow of the boat in our two sunning nets and relax and listen to music. Enjoy sipping on refreshing beverages like our signature Privateer Punch. All of our activities and inflatables are all-inclusive with unlimited use during this exciting trip for no additional charge. The inflatables and adventure fun are set up on the St. Andrew’s Bay side of Shell Island so our activities are not affected by any rough water conditions and strong undercurrents in the Gulf.

Captain Mike and his crew made sure everyone had a the best vacation experience would highly recommend . So much fun for the whole family. The bar and bathroom on board was a nice touch.I feel like the whole crew was friendly and accommodating. Side note the food from the pontoon that pulls up is pricey but well worth it.

We saw about 7 dolphins. We got to snorkel and paddle board. Lots of people were kayaking and the kids had a great time on the inflatables. We loved that we could just relax on Shell Island. The crew was so friendly and awesome!
