We had a great excursion to Shell Key which is beautiful. It was a workout for me given the winds picking up on return but would not change anything. He was very knowledgeable about the natural environment.

What an amazing kayak paddle experience. Capt. Yak is laidback, very knowledgeable about birds and sea life, and changing health status of the key. He spots creatures with a trained eye while standing on his kayak. Friendly and allows time for folks to stop, look and enjoy the birds, mangroves and sea creatures. He loves what he does and shares his breadth of knowledge.
