It was great on the boat! We saw many dolphins and Brittany did a great job navigating our little boat. I just wished we would have been able to sail into the ocean instead of just going in circles within the bay and marina. Also, it should be longer so you can actually enjoy Shell Key or at least have more time to lay out in the sand. And the area around Shell Key is residential. The advertisement made is seem like we going into the ocean to a far away Key to search for shells and snorkel. But unfortunately they really shouldn't advertise the snorkeling part, as there is nothing really to see under the water but sand and shells and the water is not that clear.

Betania, thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately the winds really picked up just before your tour went out, and the Gulf became far too choppy to take you down to the south end of Shell Key, where we normally take people. With the high winds also means losing water clarity. I wish we could control weather, but its just one of those things. Please contact us if you ever return to St Pete Beach so we can offer you a nice discount to try again. Regards, Sebastian.

I went with a group of friends so there were 5 of us total and we had the 2pm tour. We were lucky to have an almost private boat but captain Joe was welcoming, informative, and super friendly. We were also lucky enough to be at the same spot as a dolphin racer tour so captain joe coordinated with that captain to get the dolphins to play in the wake. It was a really amazing experience. Then we had an hour and 15 mins on she’ll key and we found lots of creatures and shells. It’s a must when visiting st.pete beach and we will be back! Another thing that you should have is cash for gratituity.
