What kind of beachgoer are you? Chances are, you’ll find something in the Sarasota area that appeals to you. Soft sand, fishing piers, shells—you can find it around here. Just don’t go looking for a nude beach—that’s the one thing they don’t have.

Loved entire trip. Lots of dolphins, beautiful houses, natural beauty and a knowledgeable captain who went out of the way to make it a memorable trip. I highly recommend the Shellabration and Captain Rachel.

This was a main highlight of our trip. Captain Aaron was so friendly and the trip was great. Our 4 year old wanted to see dolphins and he was able to get them to come up and jump and play.

My wife and I had a wonderful evening with Will our captain. He was personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. We leisurely cruised the shorelines of downtown Sarasota, the beautiful waterfront homes of Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lido Key and the canals of Bird Key. We had a gorgeous unobstructed view of the sunset from Big Pass. It was a very peaceful evening and well worth the money. And our dog loved being on the water as much as we did! I would highly recommend this cruise.

We had a great time on our fishing charter ! We tried a few spots, and some trolling before finding a few great spots with a variety of fish. Our captain was personable, very helpful, and we caught a bunch of fish. We would definitely recommend and would book again! I do recommend bringing yourself seat cushion for the ride Thanks! Great day on the water!
