Everyone on the boat was awesome! They were very helpful and personable. My only two complaints were the girl at the desk, she WAS R-U-D-E, and my mask and snorkel were caked with makeup and lipstick, but the crew on the boat got me a new and clean one very quickly. More

I have sailed with them over the years and always enjoyed the sunset cruises. It last approximately 2 hours and depending on the weather you leave the dock on Thomas Drive just across the new bridge and sail outof the lagoon, travel the pass between St Andrews Park and Shell Island into the Gulf of Mexico and sail down the...

Expected to spend some time looking for shells on Shell Island but when got on boat, there was sign stating that we do noot step foot on island. Snorkeling was a joke compared to past snorkeling excursions. Went in mostly 4 ft. deep water and with almost 30 people on board, we found one starfish, one sand dollar, and one... More

They enteracted with everyone as they loaded making everyone feel comfortable while we waited. A storm had come in the previous night and the waters were choppy and it turned off cool so we weren't able... More

The crew was very polite and they interacted with the children well. We was disappointed in the snorkeling. The caption told everyone if you can't swim stand up you will be able to reach. There was no reaching to it. My husband was is 6ft 3 and couldn't reach the bottom a friend that was with us also above 6... More

Went on the snorkling and dolphin watch on Thur. Aug 11th. We got in about 30 or so minutes of snorkling and we had to go back to the catamaran because of a storm. We ended up sitting out the storm for at least 1+ hours because surf was too rough to get back to port. After the rain stopped... More

We read the reviews here and were a little skeptical, but figured we would try them anyhow since the price was so reasonable. From departure to arrival the staff was very professional and friendly. The boat was nice and comfortable with 2 bathrooms and very inexpensive snacks and drinks. One person on the staff even sat down on the way... More

The 4pm cruise was relaxing, not too crowded, and met our expectations. We saw dolphins, went snorkeling, and enjoyed the beauty of the bay. Currently the bay is slightly murky, but the shell island location the captain took us to was better then other places I visited earlier in the week. We returned relaxed. More
