The "Pass", as locals refer to it, was created by a hurricane on September 27, 1848. A pirate, John Levique, made the first passage through the newly created pass. Hence the name, Johns Pass. Over one hundred merchants with unique retail shopping, a variety of restaurants and local tour operators.

The water was warm.. Jason and Braelyn were very knowledgeable about the ecosystem, waterways and animals. Would do it again.

We had an awesome time on our excursion. Captain Jason and his 1st Mate, sorry forgot her name, were great. We had to hustle back ahead of a storm, it came DOWN shortly after we were off the boat, but it was definitely worth the money and 10/10 would recommend and do again.

We had a great time on our Shell Key trip. Would recommend it to anyone. The boat was nice and the captain/crew were great. My only "complaint" - the boat ride out was MUCH longer than the boat ride back. I would have preferred a shorter boat ride there and more time available to explore Shell Key. Perhaps there was a reason the captain took alternate routes there and back, but it wasn't communicated to passengers. Not a reason to not book with them, just my preference on how it would be a better experience/value.
