And worst of all, we were only 15 minutes late due to the long "No Wake" channel that you have to drive through and the distance from Downtown to Ruskin AND they still charged us $50.

Captain Joel is the man! If you are coming to the Tampa Bay area or are a local looking for an…read moreadventure he and his mates are here for you. Make sure and book early, because he is a popular Captain. He is a great guide and has been fishing the Tampa Bay and surrounding waters for over 20 years. If you have a certain fish you are targeting discuss it with him on the phone and he will make sure and "hook" you up. I have been out with Joel 3 times and he has put me on the fish everytime. We caught our limit of Sheepshead (good eats), he's put me on a wicked Snook bite twice, and we caught 10 keeper trout on my last trip with a Black Drum and a Flounder too boot. That leads me to my three things: 1) Joel takes care of the rod/tackle, live bait, ice and will clean any catch for you. 2) BYOB for drinks and snacks 3) He does not watch the clock. If the fish are hitting you are fishing. Look him up next time you are in the bay area and especially around the full/null moons. Bigger tide changes = more fish.

From the very beginning, he was so helpful, patient, and genuinely kind--he took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. His professionalism and friendliness really made the process easy and enjoyable. The boats are always clean, well-maintained, and ready to go, which makes every outing feel like a mini vacation. Instead of worrying about all the responsibilities of boat ownership, we just get to show up, enjoy the water, and make memories. If you've ever dreamed of boating without the hassle, Freedom Boat Club is the way to go--and if you're lucky enough to work with Peter, you'll be in the best hands!

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!
