We offer the best snorkeling cruise on St Pete Beach. Come with us on a half-day island adventure to 2 separate Florida islands: Egmont Key, and Shell Key islands. On this private charter you get a fascinating history tour, amazing wildlife (dolphins, rays, turtles, manatees, and birds) and plenty of fun family snorkeling. And if you are new to snorkeling, our crew will give you training and guidance on how to snorkel and have a great time.
Egmont Key Island is an uninhabited barrier island, and a wildlife preserve, and is at the main entrance to Tampa Bay. Currently a Florida State Park, Egmont is host to what was formerly Fort Dade, established during the Spanish-American war around 1900. It is a sight to see, especially the portions of it which are now sunken ruins after giving in to the Gulf's waves over the years. The snorkeling at Egmont's sunken ruins is fascinating! On the eastern side of the island sits the Egmont Lighthouse built in 1848.
We also take you to Shell Key island, another uninhabited wildlife preserve, for more great snorkeling. At Shell Key, the snorkeling is in 3 to 4 feet of water depth, and very kid friendly. It's a great place to find live starfish and conchs. You'll also get to see rays (harmless), horseshoe crab, hermit crab, and the occasional sea turtle and manatee. Shell Key is a hidden snorkeling gem.
