We really enjoyed our snorkeling and dolphin trip. Captain Chris was great! This trip was the highlight of our vacation! Definitely recommend.

This was an amazing tour for the whole family! Our Captain Craig went out of his way to make sure that we saw dolphins and even a manatee. Shell key is a fantastic spot to find some sand dollars and shells. A day on the water is always fantastic and the weather cooperated! I would definitely recommend

Brandon_Y

Captain Craig was awesome. Showed us several cool things along the way to snorkel. He was able to get a dolphin play in the boats wake, super cool! Would highly suggest doing this anytime over a larger boat. Will be doing again!

This was a very beautiful tour, the staff did a good job, I was a little upset we had to reschedule last minute and change around our plans for the day and I do think it is a bit expensive, I would recommend but I don't think I would spend quite so much on a small bout tour again in general.

Only 6 people on the boat. Personalized experience! Stopped at 2 places to snorkel. Lots of cool shells and beautiful water. Didn’t see many fish but we didn’t really care. Fun boat ride and cruise though the harbor. Our captain gave us tips on where to eat and info about the area too. 😊

We had the best time with captain Chris! The tour it self was so much fun and plenty long enough. He took us to shell key and we got to snorkel for shells and swim around. He was on the lookout for dolphins and other animals the whole trip so he could show us them and luckily we got to see a pod of eagle rays, which cap Chris informed us is super rare to see! I would highly recommend this excursion to anybody looking for something fun and different to do in st. Pete!

Sarah_R

Our tour guide was super cool and friendly, and helpful. We saw some dolphins, manatees, AND sting rays! (Hard to capture with pictures, but I enjoyed the moment. Sting rays in pic) There was a lot of boat travel, and one hour to snorkel. (See pic for shells found. Found some small fish too.) It was a nice time exploring the area.

We brought a group of Ten high school students from Colorado on the snorkeling and dolphin tour. Some students had never been in a boat before, some couldn’t swim, none of them had snorkeled before. I had scheduled 2 tours, one at 12:15 and one at 1:30, because the boat could only hold 6. They rearranged the schedule to take both groups at the same time. These 2 drivers we awesome with the kids. The explained every thing to the kids and they were all snorkeling before I knew I knew it. The time went so fast. I would recommend this tour to anyone. T worth the money.

Captain Chris was fun, personable, and very knowledgeable about how to find dolphins. We were able to see 4-5 dolphins, and that made my children’s trip (adults too!). We went out to Shell Island, and since a storm was threatening, we stayed close to the cove. Captain Chris watched the weather closely to keep us safe, and we felt safe the entire time. We were able to collect great shells, and even saw a starfish! We recommend this charter to everyone planning a trip to Madeira and the surrounding areas! Thanks again!

Nick_V
