Testimonials

Captain Brian is exceptionally knowledgeable on the coastal systems, shells, ecosystems & history - not only of Captiva & Sanibel Islands, but of the remote islands surrounding this region!

Capt. Brian tailored the trip to maximize my chances of finding the types of shells I was interested in collecting as well as blending in great wildlife viewing, which was great. He also provided insight on the local aquatic life and history of the area. I would highly recommend his chartering trips. I know I will use his chartering trips again.

We can't imagine anything better to do than a trip with Brian. He is very personable and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the different types of shells. He took us to Cayo Costa where we felt as if we had the island to ourselves.

This trip Captain Brian put us on the mother load. From an 18" Horse Conch and a perfect Scotch Bonnet to softball size Lightning Whelks and Sand Dollars galore. The Angel Wings were huge and plentiful with many 7 to 8 inches long.

This was our first trip with Captain Brian. We had a great time with our family and will definitely go out again with Captain Brian. We saw several islands, lots of bird life and had a wonderful time shelling at Cayo Costa State Park. We found lots of sand dollars which was fun!
