Awesome experience !
We were looking for a private, laid-back experience for the family - with someone who could show us an adventure in the area, but an experience we could enjoy at our own pace. Charter Finders and the Shell Key snorkeling cruise were exactly what we were looking for.
Capt. Mike made the day completely enjoyable for our entire family of 5. Mike had tons of knowledge about the area and the wildlife that he shared with us, but he was not like an overbearing tour guide - he was like having a family member along that just happened to know everything we asked. Great sense of humor and fun, helpful guy - made the day totally relaxing.
Mike was a perfect guide on the boat also - asking our preference for Gulf travel vs. intracoastal waterway to make the trip pleasant. He went out of the way to make sure we saw wildlife - we saw a ton of dolphin, along with stingray, on the waterway, and Mike made sure we got close to them for some great photos.
The Shell Key portion was great - we were able to snorkel and shell hunt by ourselves. Had some great visibility, and our daughter found a perfect sand dollar.
