    Wow! What an experience! We took a 9am tour to Shell Key on Cap'n Dalton's boat. There were only…read moresix passengers on board, which meant there was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sunshine. Dalton provided expert commentary about the area, even pointing out a few celebrity homes and yachts along the way. It was a gorgeous ride over to Shell Key, and we even saw a few dolphins along the way. Once on the island, we had about 45-50 minutes to explore the beaches and do a little snorkeling and shell-hunting. The island is aptly named, with rows and piles of shells along its white, sandy beaches. The water was warm and perfect for swimming. Soon enough we were back on board and heading back to the harbor. And that's when the magic happened: dolphins! Following along in our wake, and no doubt attracted to the enthusiastic squeals of one of our dolphin-loving fellow passengers, the dolphins put on quite a show. Even Dalton, who I assume sees a LOT of dolphins, was impressed by how long they followed in our wake and performed jumps and flips for us. It was truly one of the most remarkable experiences of my life! Thank you Dalton and Island Ferry for an amazing and memorable tour and one of the true highlights of our vacation!

    Lovely tour! Our guide was very nice and chill, she definitely wanted to make sure we had a good…read moretime. Obviously its never a guarantee, but we saw dolphins and a manatee on our tour. Groups are small and the boats are very comfortable. They use pontoon boats so you have shade, which I definitely appreciated. The beach they took us to to snorkeling was gorgeous.

    What a great way to avoid trying to find parking at the new Coachman Park! I'd much rather pay a…read morefew bucks for a fun ride from Dunedin and spend a little time on the water. They drop and pick up right outside Coachman Park on the dock. Super convenient, the guys driving and confirming tickets were very nice. You can go standby as long as there are open seats. You can buy in advance online - suggested... but it is not quite up to date... the website is also a bit finicky. Not sure how reliable all the info/details are yet... They are just getting started but I'm not sure if that means it's brand new for that location or just for the 2023 season. We ended up just paying cash and the pricing was different online than what we were charged in person. Last ferry from Coachman Park back to Dunedin during the week is at 9:30 pm...if you're there for a show you might miss the boat! I'm not sure about weekends but I'll be using it again on a Saturday soon so I'll update my review if there's more to report. But definitely choose this and the Jolley Trolley over other options when possible. It's cheaper and more fun!

    Five Stars! As a new customer, I was very impressed at the service all around. We called the office…read morewith questions, and they were very helpful and kept in contact with us until we were ready to board (note: the boarding location has changed to the end of the dock, office did not know this). Suggested you purchase tickets in advance and bring cash for a tip. We were picked up right next to Coachman Park Marina, rode over to the Clearwater Beach marina, and back, just went for a fun short trip. The price is right for families, kids, everyone! Much better than trying to find parking on Clearwater Beach, save your money and the hassle, and ride the Ferry! Captain Ralph and First Mate Alex were professional, friendly and full of amazing local tidbits throughout our ride, describing locations as we putted along the intracoastal. The boat was comfortable, the ride was serene, the scenery unmatched, and Capt. Ralph and F.M. Alex could not have been more pleasant and accommodating. Highly recommend for families, kids will love this!

There were 8 of us in the boat, but I think it may have been possible to have a couple more. After checking in at the food shack Captain Brian directed us to the boat that was waiting for us in the river. We purchased our tickets online and we also had waivers to sign before we even got there. Captain Brian pointed out points of interest as we sailed down the river. My favorite part was "bird island". Hundreds of birds..... big ones, little ones, colorful ones, and noisy ones. It was so neat. Once we got back to the landing we spent the remainder of our tour waiting for the sun to go down. It was beautiful. We also saw a few alligators. None seemed to be very big, but who knows what the water was hiding. Captain Brian was disappointed that there weren't more gators for us to see, but he figured they were all off elsewhere looking for "love" as it is now mating season. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Denise was very knowledgeable of the areas history, plants and wildlife. Ending the trip back at Linger Lodge for drinks and dinner. Perfect! And of course we had the Alligator bites. The best in Florida.
