Enjoy a personalized boating experience on a private charter designed to showcase the natural beauty of the area. This excursion can be customized to match your group’s preferences, but a typical trip includes several highlights.

We generally begin by cruising through the bay while searching for local dolphins in their natural habitat. Guests often have the opportunity to observe these incredible animals swimming and playing alongside the boat.

From there, we make our way to Shell Island, a pristine barrier island known for its clear waters, marine life, and beautiful beaches. Here, guests can snorkel in the shallow waters to explore fish, shells, and other coastal wildlife.

After snorkeling, you’ll have time to relax and enjoy the surroundings—whether that means swimming, walking along the beach, collecting shells, or simply unwinding on the boat and taking in the scenery.

Because this is a private charter, the experience is flexible and can be tailored to your group. Whether you prefer more snorkeling, more dolphin searching, or simply relaxing and enjoying the water, the captain will help create a trip that fits your ideal day on the water.
