KAYAKING
A great way to explore our coastal environment and spend time on Shell Island  highlighting all of the local ecosystems. We explore mangrove tunnels, shallow seagrass meadows, protected bays, and take a break on the island for swimming, shelling, or just relaxing. The beautiful coastal habitat is home to osprey, dolphins, nesting sea turtles, manatees, and a variety of local and migratory shorebirds. It is a great area to see the natural side of Florida.

SUNSET SAILING
There are few experiences that can match the beauty of a Florida sunset, and what better way to enjoy it than on a full sail Schooner, Catamaran or dinner Yacht? It's a perfect way to end your day or start your evening. Each sailing trip is unique and depends on the wind, tides, and current. You can also opt for a dinner cruise and relax while enjoying the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. You can customize your tour by selecting a food & wine menu, local beer choices, or live music. Boats are available in various sizes to accommodate your group and preferences.

CRAFT BREWERY TOUR​
The St. Pete/Clearwater Craft Beer Trail stretches from Tarpon Springs to St. Petersburg, covering a distance of about an hour's drive. It is akin to California's wine country and offers a range of small, independent breweries, where you can find fresh artisanal beers that are not available elsewhere. Along the trail, you can join other beer enthusiasts to taste the beers on-site, take a tour, meet the brewer, and even take some beer home with you. The tour can begin at any point, making it an exciting adventure for groups of 10-100 people!
Picture
DEEP SEA FISHING
Our half-day fishing trip takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour to reach the fishing grounds, and lasts for 4 hours. During the trip, the boat will make between one and three stops, depending on how cooperative the fish are. On a typical half-day fishing trip, you can expect to catch grunts (snapper family), some sea bass, and occasionally grouper and/or kingfish. All the necessary gear, including bait and tackle, is included in the tour. We recommend asking the deckhands for any tips on the way out to maximize your fishing time. The deckhand will also keep your catch iced down on a numbered stringer and will clean your fish for you when you return to the dock.

SNORKELING
Charter a ferry for your private group to Egmont Key State Park and explore the remains of Fort Dade that dates back to the Spanish-American War era. The fort is located in a pristine wildlife refuge in the mouth of Tampa Bay, and during your short ferry ride, the captain will point out local wildlife such as dolphins, manatees, and ospreys. Once you arrive, enjoy swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters surrounding the island and keep an eye out for sea turtles, rays, and crabs.
