What a great trip! Capt Zach took us out, and stopped so we could watch the dolphins right outside the place where he picked us up. He gave a good explanation of the area, and the history of it. We went to one spot where it was really shallow and we could get out and swim, then to another place where we could walk across the island (very short walk on a boardwalk) and swim in the gulf for a while. He wanted to take us into the Gulf but the tide was going out for the water was very rough in the pass and he opted for safety and took us to SHell Island earlier than planned- a good thing really because it gave a bit more time on the beach. The boat was very comfortable to ride in and he had cold water for us. We arrived a little bit early and were the only group on the boat so we were able to leave out a little bit earlier than the set time. Capt Zach is very professional, friendly and timely.
