Tiki Boat Sightseeing and Sunset Tour of Port Royal

Sand Dollar Shelling's captains consistently deliver memorable experiences that go well beyond a typical boat tour. Paul S., Jamie, and Joey each earn glowing praise for their genuine enthusiasm and deep knowledge of Naples Bay's marine life and ecosystems. They're not just driving boats—they're actively helping guests find exceptional shells, positioning the boat perfectly for dolphin encounters (including babies!), and sharing fascinating local history and wildlife facts along the way. The personal touch really shines through, with captains getting in the water to help collect shells and making guests feel genuinely cared for rather than rushed. Expect to visit multiple islands for shelling, with low tide timing playing a big role in your haul. Guests regularly mention coming home with buckets full of conchs and unique finds. Wildlife sightings are a major bonus, with dolphins appearing on most trips and occasional manatees and stingrays making appearances. The boats are spacious, clean, and shaded—important for Florida sun. The flexibility stands out too, with captains willing to adjust departure times for weather and extend trips when possible to maximize the experience.
