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.

Posted at 00:56h, 19 NovemberWOW!!! Has it really been a whole month since I was in Sanibel?! Such an awesome day walking the island. I needed to get away for a bit and I certainly did that!! I'm still working on cleaning up all my shells from my trip. When I got home we hit the ground running to finish our show season. Final event is this Saturday (11/19), then things will slow down until January. Thank you so much, Brian! Next year we need more time to talk!!
