What To Expect
Make your own way to the marina to board your private charter boat and meet the crew.As you set out for the first island, Egmont Key, learn about the history of the region and look for wildlife such as dolphins, rays, turtles, manatees, and birds. Located near the main entrance to Tampa Bay, the uninhabited barrier island is a wildlife preserve and part of the Florida state park system. Fort Dade was established there around 1900, during the Spanish-American War, and the underwater ruins of the fort are a great spot for snorkeling. You can also see the Egmont Lighthouse, which opened in 1848 and sits on the eastern side of the island.Continue to snorkel at Outback Key and Shell Key, a wildlife preserve with water that measures just three to four feet deep, making it kid friendly. You can also look for starfish and conchs, rays, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, sea turtles, and manatees. Your crew provides training and guidance on snorkeling for beginners, and shares informative commentary about the region throughout the tour. Snorkel gear is provided, and you are welcome to bring your own food and drink on board. Your tour ends after four hours with return to the marina.
