Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the private beach tour?

A: No specific age limit! The tour is family-friendly, so kids of all ages can join. Just make sure to let the captain know the ages of everyone in your group when you confirm. They can tailor the experience to suit all ages, which is great.

Q: What should we wear for the beach tour?

A: Light, breathable clothing is best since you’ll be out in the sun. Don’t forget your swimsuit, sunscreen, and a hat! Also, water shoes can be helpful if you're planning to explore the islands. The tour is pretty chill, so comfort is key.

Q: What happens if the weather's bad on the day of our tour?

A: If there’s severe weather, they’ll usually reschedule for a later date. Just keep an eye on the forecast and reach out to the provider a day in advance. They'll be super accommodating about finding a new time that works!

Just booked the St. Pete Beach private tour—any tips?

I’m super excited! We’re taking our family next month to St. Pete Beach for the private tour. I heard we can snorkel and shell at Shell Key Preserve? What should we definitely not miss? Also, how’s the snorkeling there? I’m just a beginner. Any advice would be great!

Had an amazing time on our private beach tour!

Just got back from our private beach tour around Shell Key Preserve, and wow! The captain was super knowledgeable and we saw dolphins! The kids loved shelling on the beach. We brought snacks, but they provided some too. Just a heads up, wear sunscreen—your skin will thank you later. Highly recommend for family outings!
