    For $172 we decided to take the boat from Marco Island to Key West and stay overnight without having to drive. We parked in the lot across the street. You feel it is safe to leave your car. It takes about three hours but don't go for a scenic view because it's just water. I made sure I took Dramamine for motion sickness just in case. The crew were so nice and it was easy to board. We started sitting outside but it was so windy so we found seats separately inside. They were showing the movie Splash. No internet so it was nice to have a movie with subtitles. Once we arrived into the Key West harbor, it only took about 10 minutes to exit. They offer a free shuttle but we decided to rent an electric car. The next day we boarded after 4 and we're able to see the sunset but after seeing the sunset in Key West it was no big deal. It was a good experience.

    We had Dramamine and Sea-Bands with us, but you can purchase Dramamine onboard the ship and they will tell you if the ride is expected to be a little rocky.

    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.

My now fiancé had been working secretly with Ellen for months planning a 5 hour sunset Fourth of July cruise for the two of us. When I walked onto the boat I even thought Tony and Ellen were family friends I've never met as they were so welcoming and treated us as if they've known us for years. I was nervous at first as since it was a surprise I hadn't packed any food or sunscreen and to my excitement Ellen had taken care of it all! She had variety of healthy appetizers set for us as well as sandwich platter and a bottle of sparkling wine. Although we did bring beer and a bottle of champagne I thought it was sweet of them to supply us with another bottle. They took us to the dome homes and gave us a brief history on the architecture and location of the now abandoned yet oddly beautiful landmarks. We cruised around and took in the Florida sunset as we anchored up in the perfect location for the fireworks off of Marco Island. Since Tony has extensive expierince with boating and the local area, he knew exactly where to take us to be close enough for a great view, but far enough from the boating masses. They also had a co-captain on board (Calvin)who shared stories of his life travels and casually snapped some amazing photos of my fiancé and I, memories I would not have been able to capture. We have already booked our trip back to Naples, and will be reaching out to Ellen and Tony for another visit!

They provide an amazing cruise, fantastic snacks and beverages, and wonderful company. Don't miss out on this trip!
