Come with us on a half-day island adventure vising three Florida islands: Egmont Key, Outback 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. 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 located at the main entrance to Tampa Bay. Currently a Florida State Park, Egmont is host to what was formerly Fort Dade which was 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 into the Gulfs waves over the years. The snorkeling at Egmonts 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. Its a great place to find live starfish and conchs. Youll also get to see rays (harmless), horseshoe crab, hermit crab, and the occasional sea turtle and manatee. Shell Key is a hidden snorkeling gem.Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingYou must check in 30 minutes prior to your departure time.
