Summary: This was a highlight of our vacation to Tampa-St. Pete. Captain Tony, Captain Kuda and Sam were fantastic. We took our 3 young children (all 10 and under) on the Dolphin Watching & Shell Key Island Tour and they cannot stop talking about their experience. The crew were kind, friendly and professional. Considerate of everyone on board and we could tell how much they cared that everyone on board had a good experience. This is something we will definitely do again and a can’t miss if you are visiting St. Pete.
