Highly recommend - Capt Mike found so many dolphins and got them playing in the wake, amazing experience. He brought us to really cool spots to find a plethora of shells! Definitely booking with Captain Mike next time we visit!

Captian Mike knew all the best shelling spots and gave us a great afternoon on his boat. He got a family of dolphins to give us a show next to the boat which the kids loved!

Captain Mike was awesome. He was generous with his time after my scheduling mishap and very knowledgeable. Also a pleasure to talk to.

Had a really fun couple of hours hunting for shells on Big Hickory and Bonita Springs Beach. Found the biggest shells of our trip (to multiple beaches including Sanibel, Captiva, Lovers Key, and Boca Grande) and our only sand dollar too. Got to watch a shark hunting in the shallows too which was fun and made for a great "Jaws" photo. Highly recommended!

We had a great shelling experience with Mike. Communication before the trip was excellent so we knew exactly where to be and when. Upon arrival it was a quick 10-15 minutes to the first beach on Big Hickory Island. It was close to low tide and we were able to find a sand dollar and multiple fighting conch shells in excellent shape along with a great variety of other shells. We spent about 45 minutes there and then chose to move to the next area just a few minutes north on the point at Bonita Springs Beach where we found more good stuff. On our way back we were lucky enough to spot a shark cruising in the shallows - got the perfect "Jaws" shot! We visited multiple beaches this trip (Sanibel, Captive, Boca Grande) and got our biggest shells on this excursion. Highly recommend.

Great experience, Mike took us to amazing locations, he took the time to go after a dolphin and a manatee with us so the kids could see them. The shelling beaches were incredible, only boat accessible, so there were many beautiful shells to collect (and to take home as souvenirs) . We wanted a private experience, and that’s exactly what we got. Nice touch with a cooler with cold water on the boat - and Mike’s communication to tell us where to park and how to locate him. I’d definitely do it again, totally worth it!

Awesome shelling trip with Mike. He was very accommodating for small kids and took us to a couple different places to find as many sea shells as we wanted to pickup.

Amazing experience from start to finish! Two hours really wasn’t long enough, we could have stayed all day. Our teenage kids (and Grandad) loved every minute, especially when Mike spotted a Manatee and stopped the boat so we could all take a look. The communication with Mike was excellent, he text us after booking and kept in touch prior to the trip with directions of where to meet. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Mike again, but next time for a longer trip!!

Mike was a great captain! The boat was very comfortable! We found great shells! The time was just enough.

Captain Mike was great very informative. I have never seen so many shells in one place. Mike also contacted us the day before to insure we knew exactly where to meet him.
