Stunning Egmont and Shell Key Tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had an absolutely superb experience with Allens Aquatic Adventures! Allen took our group of six out for an unforgettable day exploring Shell Key and Egmont Key Island, and everything about the trip was exceptional. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and Allen made the entire experience even better with his extensive knowledge of the Tampa Bay area. He shared interesting insights throughout the tour and made sure we were comfortable, relaxed, and enjoying every moment. Both Shell Key and Egmont Key were stunning—beautiful scenery, crystal-clear water, and such a peaceful escape. Allen’s professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly set this tour apart. If you’re looking for a top-notch boating experience in the Tampa Bay area, we highly recommend Allens Aquatic Adventures. We will definitely be back!
Was great!

5.00This is was my second time hiring Allen for a boat tour. Each time was a great experience. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the amazing views and exploring the islands. Allen is a great guy and I will definitely look him up next time I’m in town.

5.00Highly recommend!! We got to see a whole team of dolphins, and went to an island where we got to go in the gulf and find shells and sand dollars. My kids loved seeing the dolphins. It really was fun for the whole family.
Great family experience

5.00My family ( 2 adults and 3 kids - 11, 10, 10) went on the 3 hour excursion - knee boarding & shelling. We had a blast! Best time ever! Prior to our excursion, I messaged Captain Allen questions. He responded considerably fast and answered all my questions and made some suggestions too. Capt Allen’s boat is beautiful, spacious, and has a canopy for shade. Capt Allen is friendly & awesome with the kids! He explained the knee boarding directions multiple times to the kids until they felt comfortable. Capt Allen cheered the kids on and gave them huge high fives when they were done. Shelling was fun too. Make sure you bring a bucket to collect all the shells! It was like being on a treasure hunt! Highly recommend Captain Allen!
Great Review for Captain Allen – Wakeboarding & Tubing

5.00Yesterday we went wakeboarding and tubing with Captain Allen in Gulfport, St. Petersburg, and from the moment we booked, I knew it was going to be a fantastic experience. Captain Allen’s positive energy, great attitude, and genuine passion for what he does set the tone right away. Even though all of us had wakeboarded before, we quickly realized we’d been making it harder than it needed to be. With just a quick demonstration off the side of the boat, Captain Allen showed us how to get up on the board smoothly and effortlessly. His simple tips made all the difference—our 15-year-old, 19-year-old, and even myself, a 51-year-old all got up easily and were soon doing 180° spins, catching air, and building confidence on the water. This was especially impressive since one of I was just coming off a back injury from hockey the week before! One of my favorite moments was when my special lady—at first a little reluctant—decided to try tubing. Captain Allen took the time to make her feel completely safe, showing her the different speeds he could go so she could choose her comfort level. Before long she was laughing, holding on tight, and having an absolute blast. And yes, she gave the thumbs up for super speed! Captain Allen’s coaching and easygoing nature proved that with the right teacher, the right setting, and the right attitude, anything is possible. After wakeboarding and tubing, we all left with big smiles and great memories. His knowledge of the water, weather patterns, and safety just adds to the experience. If you’re visiting the Tampa Bay area and want an unforgettable day on the water, look no further than Captain Allen. Whether you’re looking to improve your skills or just have an amazing time, he delivers both in spades.
