Best trip ever!

Special 4 hour trip for Michelle King on July 25, 2026 • 6 adults

We had the best time with Capt Trent! We got to see and do so much and he is so knowledgeable about the different areas. We saw dolphins, hunted for sand dollars, snorkeled around Shell Island and took in the views along the way. This trip was perfect for our kids (two 8 yr old boys and a 2 yr old). We will definitely book again with Trent. You will not regret spending some time on his boat!

I dont even know where to begin.  This was the best experience!  Trent was very chill, prepared, fun, knowledgeable, flexible, the list goes on.  He will make sure you have a good time.  His boat is clean, there is snorkel equipment, cooler and stocked with ice.  We will book again next time we are in Florida!

My family and I had the absolute BEST time with Trent. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. We saw dolphins and chilled at Shell Island. I'll definitely book with him or his son again when I'm back in Panama City.
