Capt.Brian Exploring By Air

I took the day off the water and explored by air. It was an absolute pleasure to fly over my favorite islands and see things from a different perspective. I observed a small waterway that I did not know was there. I look forward to paddle boarding this new piece of water on the next full moon tide. You can never learn enough of what is in your own backyard.  Capt. Brian

I have been a Shelling Guide to Cayo Costa State Park since 1995. Many people know me as the Shelling Guide and Captain with Captiva Cruises over the past 20 years. In 2016 I began solely offering private small boat charters to the islands of Pine Island Sound including Cayo Costa State Park, Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, Pine Island and North Captiva. I am a certified Florida Master Naturalist, licensed USCG Captain, avocational photographer, seashell enthusiast and passionate about the history, people and culture of Southwest Florida, especially Cayo Costa. I volunteer as a member of Friends of Cayo Costa State Park and have great respect for the heritage of Cayo Costa. My goal is to provide guests with an overall experience and appreciation for the waters, islands, shells, plants, marine life, wildlife, history and people of this unique area of Southwest Florida.

    That is so cool! Are you a pilot also, or were you the passenger? I love looking down on the Islands when we come in for the final approach to Ft. Myers. Wonderful photos!

    Did you get a pilot's license? I love seeing the islands from the air. Flying down the coast is my favorite part of the flight.

    No pilots license, just a passenger.
