SHELLING ADVENTURE

Available Year Round  •  Discover dolphins, exclusive shells, and beautiful views with St. Pete Coastal Cruises

Escape the mainland and join Coastal Cruises for a perfect day of Dolphin Watching and Shelling in St. Pete! Our three-hour tour starts with a slow 45-minute dolphin-watching cruise along the intercoastal waterways in St. Pete amidst the multi-million dollar waterfront homes en route to one of our favorite local shelling islands in Florida.

Once stopped at either Shell or Sand Dollar Island, guests will have up to an hour and a half to go ashore and enjoy the day the locals’ way swimming and exploring at one of these pristine shelling destinations!

Our boat has plenty of shade for those who aren’t quite as adventurous, so feel free to stay aboard, pick the crew’s brain on the local St. Pete area, take in the coastal views, or enjoy the satellite TV featuring your favorite game!

Don’t worry, we have plenty of adult beverages onboard to purchase to quench your thirst! The bar includes beer and RTD cocktails to enjoy.

Upon departing the St. Pete shelling islands, we will have an opportunity to once again search for dolphins along the 45-minute intercoastal route back to the marina.

Don’t miss out on this adventurous boat tour in St. Pete with Trip Advisor’s 2022 Traveler’s Choice Award winning vessel and top notch crew!

Sunset Cruise Not to be Missed The stops underneath the bridges and at Sand Dollar Island as the sun went down, along with the panoramic view of the Skyway Bridge at night all made for an incredible time. The crew were fantastic as well, making it an enjoyable experience for everyone aboard.

Relaxing Evening It was a very nice evening out on the water. The little island stop was nice and the views of all the bridges we went under was wonderful especially the skyway bridge and lights. I took this with friends in memory of my husband’s 1 year passing because he loved being out on the water.

How do we get off at the beach?

For our island stops, we use a series of steps from the front of our boat to the sand. Typically, you can step right from the boat/steps to the sand. However, on occasion it may be up to ankle deep.

What should we wear?

Guests who wish to swim during their island stop should wear their bathing suits on board as there are no changing facilities at the island. Swimwear is strongly encouraged for all guests as the water is refreshing and crystal clear. Be sure to pack a towel for the ride back!

Is your vessel handicap accessible?

Unfortunately we are not handicap accessible at this time. Guests with limited mobility (i.e. walkers, canes) should call our office prior to booking. A good rule of thumb is if the limited mobility passenger is able to make it up 2-3 standard stairs with assistance. Our crew is always here to help and eager to share our memorable trip with all!
