One thing to note is only 6 people, max, are on the boat. We had 5, 3 of us and 2 others. They have water and snacks on the boat if you want it. Stan asked if we liked any particular music on the way out and we all liked Buffett so it was a great way to head out to keewaydin. On the way he was good at spotting dolphins and we had a few swimming right next to us and came out of the water. Was a really nice surprise on the way out. Upon arrival Stan took our chairs out to where we wanted to set up and put our chairs down and gave us towels with a shell bag. Stan was right in time when we were done with our morning and picked up our chairs. We did bring two umbrellas of our own which fit on his boat. Stan answered our questions and provided insights into various Tricia on the way out and back. He was personable and professional and we had a great experience. This was out 1st time but certainly will not be our last. Highly recommend!

I chose this particular boat tour due to the rave reviews…read more First of all there was no stand or building where they are located, so we walked around the parking lot and shopping center until we could get in touch with the driver. Turns out you just have to look for their truck in the parking lot. That wasn't made clear at the time of booking. It was a fine boat ride, but felt more like a water taxi than a tour. We saw dolphins on the way to go shelling which was neat... but so did every other boat in the vicinity. We only had about 1.5 hours to go shelling which wasn't nearly enough time. Keewaydin Island was beautiful but we didn't have time to enjoy it. After our boat taxi ride was over we tipped the driver $30. Mind you this ride didn't include food, drinks (other than water) or snacks. A day later we got an automated email asking us for a tip (if we hadn't already). Mind you we did NOT take a private tour- it was two groups of 3 people. The email said: "If you have not tipped * Boat captains often rely on tips as a significant part of their income, particularly in the tourism industry where tipping is customary. A 20% gratuity or Minimum of $100 per Captain on Private tours is customary for this type of tour. If the captain was amazing feel free to tip more." Excuse me? We paid $370 for 2 adults and 1 child for a less than 3 hour excursion to Keewaydin Island. They were expecting an additional $50-$75 in tips? This was by far the most expensive boat "tour" we've been on, and we've done many- Italy, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Hawaii, California, Maine, and three others in Florida. I wrote the company an email bc they send out 2-3 emails afterwards asking you to leave a review... and if it's not 5 stars to email them directly. They never responded. Two sets of my in-laws were wanting to go on a tour in the coming weeks and we told them both not to waste their money on Sand Dollar Shelling. So now I'm telling you too.
