10,000 Island Shelling Tours

For those in search of rare and sought after shells, our private shelling tour is for you! Get to the beach first and miss the crowds with our early bird 7AM departure. This tour is offered in four, and six hour options allowing for ample time collecting shells at the island.

For our more serious beach combers, this is the tour that will give you the full Ten Thousand Island shelling experience! Watch the sunrise as you depart, and expect to return with bags of shells and sand dollars!

Let’s go shelling in The Ten Thousand Islands!

For those looking for a longer tour this is also be a good option as private tours can always be customized to accommodate your interest. Island hop, spend more time with dolphins and manatees, or just hang out on a secluded island. We are happy to accommodate!

Super relaxed, enjoyable experience. Capt Nick is a great host and made it fun for our kids. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cool day out.

Gavin F.Great experience!

Great half day trip with the family. Captain Nick knew all the great hot spots. Very professional and knowledgeable of the environment around us during our trip.

MillerryCaptain Nick!!!!

We (family of 4) had an amazing trip. We did some fishing, cruised next to dolphins and walked around the beach to pick up shells. The kids (3 and 7) had an absolute blast, and the little one passed out on the ride home. Captain Nick is very knowledgeable about the area, knows tons about fishing and even taught us stuff about shells (who knew there was so much to know about shells?). We had a great time and will definitely go out again with Captain Nick when we're back in town.
