This was a great trip! Our Captain was fun, the ride was so amazing, and She’ll Key was great. Our crew even rescued a dog that had jumped from another boat. It was such an exciting day all around.

This is an excursion the family of all ages can do together and enjoy ! The boat ride is comfortable and provides sightseeing of beautiful homes on the inter coastal. There were dolphin sightings where we stopped the boat and got to watch and take pictures, The island visit itself was enjoyable with opportunity to look for shells and swim for more than an hour!!!!
