7am on a beautiful day! We thoroughly enjoyed our dolphin and shelling cruise! Captain Paul S. was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable. He knows so much about the area, wildlife and even the names of the shells! We found so many beautiful and interesting shells and after shelling we found about 10 dolphin and there was a baby!! They played in the wake of the boat and was definitely the highlight of our trip! The boat was clean and organized. Cooler for our drinks, dry box for our belongings and fun was had for sure!! Perfect amount of time worth every penny! Thank you so much Paul! We will be back and bring our family next time! April and Jeff Weiskircher Ps Evan stopped over to talk to us upon our return. He wanted to make sure we had a great time! Not often an owner goes out of their way like that!

Captain Paul S. was a fantastic guide!! We found so many shells and my kids had a blast. He let my boys drive the boat and we got a dolphin show as they jumped and played in the wake of our boat. Highly recommend!!!

We went on August 1st and our guide Jamie was great! We highly recommend this trip. On the way out to Kice Island and on the way back, Jamie was able to get dolphins to ride and jump in the wake of the boat! That was so cool! On Kice Island, she helped everyone in finding shells and identifying them. Great trip!
