Private boat outing tour - Enjoyed our boat outing with Captain Tyler so much that we booked another time out with Tyler the following week. Tyler was successful in playing with the dolphins and they followed the boat and jumped out of the water for some time in our wake. Tyler was also great to answer our questions and share his knowledge on the Florida Ecosystem and assist in identifying and finding shells for us.

BEST. DAY. EVER. - Absolutely LOVED this trip. It was my 50th birthday and we did a four hour eco shelling tour. We saw dolphins, osprey, pelicans, and collected tons of shells on Kice Island and Shell Island. Captain Jason is the BEST. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and laid back. You can truly tell he has a passion for eco education. He even had a cupcakes and Champagne for my birthday! It was the best and we can't wait to go back and take our kids on this tour. We found two rare shells and so many others!

So many shells! - We had an excellent experience with Tyler. Our family of three took the four hour shelling tour. We went to shell island. The amount, variation, and quality of shells we found exceeded our expectations. Tyler was knowledgeable and easygoing. He went out of his way to make sure it was as easy as possible to get on and off the boat and even swept off the front of the boat to keep the sand from blowing on us on the return trip; they've got it all down to a science. You won't regret booking this tour!

EverWater Charters and Tours is the best!! - My husband and I booked with Jason on 2 separate days and we had a blast! Jason is VERY knowledgeable, kind and an all around great person. Jason taught us some wonderful things about shells, tides and the beautiful sea creatures. Jason was more than willing to take us to a few different islands. Kice, Dickman's, Keeywaydin and our favorite - Shell Island, that is literally an island of only shells! That is where we found the best shell - Junonia! We sure do appreciate Jason's time and energy that he spent with us. We will return! Thanks Jason and EverWater Charters and Tours!!

We will definitely be back! Thanks everyone with Everwater Charters for the grand experience!!

Dec 2024 Private shelling tour - Love this independent operated tour company. We have been out with Captain Jason a few times. This trip was a 6 hour private shell tour with friends, some are expert shellers and others onboard, this was their 1st adventure out to the 10k Islands. We headed out early to be 1st to arrive on islands for best shelling options. Jason is always good about sharing thoughts for what the day might look like but is open to guests request or desires for island destinations. We ended up touching on 5 seperate islands, a couple just for "scouting peeks" where shelling didnt immediately look great and hours on other islands. I love the smalls, as they travel easy in luggage but friends collected up 2.5, 35 gallon buckets of shells to take home to their Mississippi beach home. Shelling on that coast nothing like the shores of 10K Islands. It was a beautiful day to be in the sun and toes in the water and always greatful for Jasons helping hands while on his boat! Until the next trip...happy shelling!! Tara -Brownsburg Ind

Just Chillin after Turkey Day - Tyler was the best captain for our crew. We were just looking to chill out on the water and maybe hit up some of the beaches for shelling. Shelling wasn't our main purpose but we found lots of beauties. More fun was had with the very friendly dolphins. We were lucky to have a sunny afternoon and Tyler touring us around.
