We had a beautiful cruise around Shell Island and to St. John’s Pass. Fun for the whole family, from the grandparents (almost 80) to the kiddos (4 and 6). Captain Bob was awesome, and made it known that it was our adventure to go where we wanted for however long we wanted. Shell Island was beautiful, and we loved cruising around St. John’s Pass looking at the gorgeous homes. Although the dolphins weren’t out that day, it barely mattered because everything else was so much fun!

We were two couples on vacation in Treasure Island. Our captain, Bobby, was the best. The cleanest boat I've ever seen. He was very accommodating, having plenty of ice for our beverages and plenty of bottled water. He knows the area well and was very informative. We felt very safe. We saw lots of dolphins playing and Bobby knew exactly how to get them to jump behind the wake of the boat. We went to Shell Island and walked around the beautiful island in water that was very warm and shallow. We went to another sand bar near John's pass which was a lot of fun. This trip is a must do if you are ever in the Treasure Island /St. Pete area. We will definitely do this trip again if we ever get back to this area of Florida.

Highly recommend! The overall experience was amazing and Captain Bobby was phenomenal! We will definitely be booking again the next time we are in the St. Pete/Treasure Island area.

The experience was excellent from the beginning, the boat was already and the captain had a life vest for my kid. He was so knowledgeable about everything around the area and we instantly saw dolphins then went to an amazing island to get shells. It was an amazing 3 hour excursion and will definitely go back again and use the same tour guide.
