Frequently asked questions ?
Will we see dolphin?
Our local waters of San Carlos Bay, Pine Island Sound and the
near- coastal waters of the Gulf of Mexico are home for lots of dolphin
throughout the year. Our trips cover such a wide area we almost always
see dolphin and they put on great shows on 29 of every 30 trips.

How is the shelling?
It varies- We go to Cayo Costa for our shelling trips and very few people
get to the area we will take you . It is a barrier Island only accessible by
boat.
After a couple of days of winds from the South, West or North we often
have excellent shelling, with lots of shells pushed onto the beach and in
the shallow waters along the shore.

Will I get wet getting on the boat at the pick- up spot and getting to shore  
at Cayo Costa?
Yes- A few steps in knee deep water at most to the boat at the pick-up and
2 steps on the stern ladder and you are aboard.
At Cayo Costa , it's 2 steps down the ladder into knee-deep water and a
few steps to the beach.
Your Captain will back the boat as close as he can to the beach and
secure it in place at the bow and stern.

Will there be good snorkeling conditions for our cruise?
Each year approx 70% of our cruises have good snorkeling conditions.
Factors that can effect snorkeling are water temperature and clarity.
There are many great things involved during our charters.  The boat ride,
the great dolphin shows, getting to see the whole area by boat and
shelling.
If snorkeling is at the top of your list of reasons to join us please
inquire about the recent snorkeling conditions when you call.

Is there a restroom on all of your boats?  
Yes- We find it is a must for the comfort of our guests.
