They kick things off with a water gun fight, which the kids loved--but heads up, they will get wet! I wish I had brought a dry sweatshirt to throw on after. But it was ok. Also, wear grippy shoes because that deck gets slick fast...kids were slipping everywhere lol. This isn't a quiet, scenic sunset cruise--if that's what you're after, this ain't it. Half the time I forgot we were even on a boat because it's nonstop pirate chaos (in a good way). We did spot dolphins in the distance which was a nice bonus.

Allowed us (adults) to breathe a little and relax while being able to be with our children. The view was amazing and bonus, DOLPHINS!! Price was very reasonable for tickets and aboard the boat as well. My children are 6 and 3; both talked about it the rest of the trip and want to go back!

Captain Zack's very knowledgeable of the area took us over an old shipwreck and then parked at a nice sandy beach on the back of Shell Island that we took a short walk over to beach and found lots of pristine shells. Tour was everything it was booked to be. I highly recommend this boat tour

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, we saw lots of fish, sea urchins, hermit crabs and other marine life. The crew was absolutely outstanding! They took the time to talk with us about the biology of the creatures we encountered, and explained the natural features and how the waterways in the area are connected. They were knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and because they are such excellent navigators we felt very safe in their capable hands. On the way back they took the time to stop in a spot frequented by sea turtles and one of the turtle popped its head up right near the boat several times! I would highly recommend going on any of the Good Jibez tours ... we plan to come back to them again for the sunset and dolphin tours!

I will have to say that I have played at a lot of pickleball courts but this was one of my absolute favorite spots. You can tell the staff/ owners take pride in their courts and facilities. It was a fun atmosphere, clean, really cool location and the courts were really nice! They had tables with umbrellas to sit at on the sides of the court to relax during matches with some great music playing! $5 per person to play here is absolute no brainer! This place is a 5 star pickleball destination!

While the boat is at the end of the pier, it was not a ridiculously long walk for him. We boarded via a ramp with handrails, so that was safe and easy. The mates on the cruise were helpful and it was fun to be able to move freely around the vessel. They offered a snack bar with cocktails and drinks were very reasonably priced, and good. The sunset cruise goes out to the shell island, but does not dock there. We idled around the area in hopes of seeing dolphins and we were not disappointed. There was a pod that was showing off for the people on 3 boats in the area. Great fun! Update: We went back for the Shell Island tour today. Reiterate how helpful, friendly, and professional everyone was.... Both tours!

The crew came around and introduced themselves and asked if we needed anything during the tour to let them know. They also have on-board snacks, drinks and a restroom. The tour starts at Papa Joe's which has food trucks, a little store, and even a pickleball court. The ship left at 1:30 and was about a 45-minute journey to Shell Island. I was a little disappointed with the Island itself. The shells were all broken and going out to see and look for shells the water wasn't as clear as other Florida beaches. I saw a stingray which was really cool but also made me hesitant to go too far in the water, also saw some crabs too and didn't want to get pinched. After an hour on the Island, we went to go see some dolphins - there were tons. You will define see dolphins on this tour. After doing a few circles to make sure everyone on the boat saw them, we started heading back. It was after this the crew went around again to ask if anyone was feeling at all seasick because of the turning. Overall the tour was really great. I don't thinknid recommend Shell Island itself but doing the dolphin tour would be worth the visit.
