We went out with Island Ferry as a part of our 28th wedding anniversary celebration. We are Florida natives, but we are from the Big Bend area of North Florida, about 5 hours away. Captain Roger took us out for the 11:30 a.m. ride; he was knowledgeable of the area and the wildlife, we saw several dolphin at play and even saw a shark at the end of our two hour excursion! No matter how many times I see them, I always enjoy seeing the dolphin coming up out of the water. The weather was very nice and we got a great breeze when the boat was going fast!
The small groups they take out make for a more personal experience. My husband and I went out with Island Ferry back in 2014 when the company was relatively new, we went out with Captain Sebastian back then and Captain Roger this time and had great experiences both times. You can tell that an enjoyable customer experience is important to them. Even after two times, I would do this experience with Island Ferry again. Highly recommended! A great experience!
We found quite a few shells on Shell Island and have many pictures and video clips from our experience. We shared our tour with newlyweds who were on their honeymoon and another couple and everyone seemed to really enjoy the time on the water and island. Today 10/25 is our actual anniversary, but our pre-anniversary experience on yesterday was awesome! Thanks again Captain Roger for your hospitality. Island Ferry is top notch for anyone looking to do this type activity. If you are trying to decide if you should do this, believe me, you should!!!
