Josh Parr, the dolphin wizard!
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing trip with their family. Josh did a fantastic job locating islands with TONS of shells. He was able to wake-bait a few dolphins almost INTO the boat. He was great with the kids, and peppered them with interesting facts about shells, the islands, and sea life in general. Oh, and he's a hell of a good fishing guide too! Thanks Josh!

Awesome Captain
Josh went above and beyond to take care of me and my grandchildren. Kept my youngest one company in the boat when she didn't want to get off at the last stop. Found some great shells and had some fun encounters with dolpins! The kids and I loved it. ❤️

Great boat trip!
Our captain Josh was great. Took a nice trip saw manatee, dolphins, and a number of different birds. Loved the beach shelling break, lots of good finds. Then a spin around to see some of Marco Islands incredible real estate. Loved our afternoon!
