    Took the Egmont Key excursion with bestie for a gorgeous beach day that did not disappoint! Captain Zip and Captain Colin were fun hosts and shared facts about the key and local area! Egmont Key was pristine for sunning, hiking, shelling and viewing: Fort Dade, lighthouse, collecting shark teeth, and seeing Gopher tortoises! Total of 5 hours with 3-hours on key! Will do this again soon!!

    Let me tell you.... This was Amazing!! We had a blast. 90 minutes is just enough time to really experience the dolphin boat tour. My friend was visiting from Ohio and this was the perfect treat for her. The tour guides were amazing. They gave a great presentation and provided a lot of information about the body of water and all the wildlife. The educational experience really made a deferent. We got to see some dolphins. Really nice houses. And enjoyed some sailing time. Looking forward to doing it again.

    We had a SPECTACULAR trip to Egmont Key with Captain Zip and Crew Collin

    Wonderful trip to Egmont Key with Capt'n Zip & Crewman Collin‍ The boat trip alone is as terrific as the key. Gorgeous turquoise water and fantastic shelling

    Wonderful day, Beautiful Blue Waters, Egmont Key.. worth the trip, Historic Landmark Lighthouse and remnants of bootleggers town

    The guys on the boat can make your shell into a necklace! (Use the Venmo and tip!!!)

    We took the ferry to/from Shell Key Island and found these guys to be thorough and efficient- you'll receive an email outlining exactly what to expect the day of your fare Directions and parking were very clear We reserved the 10:00am departure and returned on the 12:30 I happened to find a lovely shell and the guys offer to drill a small hole and make a necklace for you, which really made it a memory They do have snacks, shell bags, drinks, etc for sale on board in case you forgot something and a Venmo for tips The driver slowed down and got us some dolphin sightings on the way back so well worth a good tip!

    My girls and I took the 10 a.m. ferry out to Shell Key Island, leaving from the Ft Desoto boat docks. As someone who struggles with anxiety in new experiences, I was impressed with how thorough and well organized the itinerary was. It enabled me to pack and prepare with confidence, arriving relaxed and ready to enjoy the day. The check in process was clear and simple. I'm glad that I followed the advice of the itinerary and arrived an hour before departure. It gave us plenty of time to get checked in, use the restroom, and organize our belongings. Our Captain and First Mate were very friendly, upbeat guys. We were offered a selection of snacks, drinks and shelling bags for purchase. A little information about our surroundings. The only thing I would hopefully suggest is for education to be shared with everyone about why it's important to leave shells that have living creatures. Our trip back was peaceful. Our First Mate offered to turn everyone's favorite shell into a necklace for them at no charge. Our Captain spotted a pod of dolphins and took a very slight detour so we could all share the excitement. I was grateful to learn there was a Venmo QR code to enable tipping for those of us who don't travel with cash. Tipping is optional, but I really enjoyed our trip and appreciated their kindness and helpfulness getting me, my 2 kids and all our stuff on and off the boat.

    Ciara (sierra?) and captain Greg were great and right on time. We found a ton of cool shells and on the ride home they even made us a little shell necklace for my niece. Will definitely come back next time we're in town, beautiful and relaxing day.

    This is a no nonsense excursion. We had an easy experience from parking to the return. The staff was super friendly and took great care of us. We left from fort de Soto boat ramp to shell key. It was reasonably priced as well which is nice. You shouldn't have to break the bank to have adventures.

    Easy ferry ride to the island!

    We had a great time on this shuttle boat to Shell Key! An easy 15 minutes to this awesome island for a few hours! The captain and co-captain were awesome, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! *there were hardly any shells, but the swimming (be careful for the tip current) and natural beauty were worth the trip alone!

    Living conch

    Mike and Leah were great guides during my shelling trip. We stopped to see some dolphins along the way. Great sight seeing on the way to the shelling spot and on the way back! The guides were very friendly and gave some great recommendations nearby for lunch afterwards. The boat ride was very smooth and they even made free necklaces out of any pieces we picked up. I got to see a live conch swhile we were stopped. Mike had some great educational information about the animal

    Ashley M.

    We had an amazing time out with Captain Zach and Kim. The dolphins were out playing and Captain Zach knew the pod and were to find them. He also talked to us about the pod we saw. The info you learn about the area is also a plus. We cannot wait to do another tour with them.

    This was a great fishing trip. The crew was fantastic. The Captain knew where the fish were hitting and kept the ship over them.

    Wonderful trip to Egmont Key with Capt'n Zip & Crewman Collin‍ The boat trip alone is as terrific as the key.

    Great boat ride and we came away with some nice fish! Very enjoyable and an exciting experience…read more Five stars for sure

    We caught a lot of fish but the creature comforts, communication and preparedness were a bit…read morelacking. My family had a better experience with Maverick Charters. If you go, make sure to bring windbreaker / raincoat and sweater or jacket. The owner's wife Heather is terrific. ---- In response to the business owner's comments (see below), his son did not do a good job of making the trip fun, comfortable or safe. He's not a good communicator which is important when you're working with families. It also wasn't to the best idea to go so far out, which was his call. Fortunately, I was eventually able to talk him into staying a bit closer in after a long discussion. The young captain spent much of our time out there working on the boat. After his repairs to try and fix the broken speedometer, the boat wouldn't start and we were stuck out at sea for hours. The young captain's plan was to drift back towards shore until we were in cell phone range. No flares. No emergency devices to contact anyone. No joke. It would have been a very cold and uncomfortable night and it was quite an ordeal for us and our kiddos. Fortunately, I was able to contact emergency services and got us rescued. I tried to be pretty nice in my short review and focus on the positives, but I wouldn't use this charter company again and I certainly can't recommend them. Even if we hadn't had mechanical trouble, which happens, my family much preferred the way Maverick Charters handled my family's charter. The captain didn't have us towed by professionals because it would have cost him money. And the idea that we insisted on going out in a storm or that their poor decision making, lack of preparedness, and the captian's poor communication skills were our fault is just nonsense. They changed the time of our charter and we went along with it, just as we went along with all of the captain's decisions until realizing that he was incapable of handling the situation at hand. We all make mistakes and they're not bad people, but the owner lashing out at me over a bum cruise that we were still charged full price for is pretty gross. Your training, planning, maintenance and customer service skills need work. You can do better. Live and learn.
