We start our journey in the heart of Port St. Joe and head out into St. Joseph Bay Aquatic Preserve.

St. Joseph Bay is an Aquatic Preserve has some of the healthiest sea grasses in the state of Florida. 80% of the marine wildlife in Florida depends on these grasses for survival. This makes this area magical for shallow water snorkeling. There are also quite a few sunken ships and structures in deeper water (about 25 feet of water) for those more experienced free divers.

During our Port St. Joe excursions, we often spot dolphin pods in their natural environment, largely undisturbed, allowing you to observe their authentic, untamed behaviors. We are frequently the only vessel nearby, and we have a hydrophone to allow us to listen to their fascinating vocalizations!

Discover fascinating facts about our local marine life and the St. Joseph Bay ecosystem.

Our wildlife adventures allow us to search for a diverse array of marine life, with sightings often including turtles, various invertebrate species, rays, fish, manatees, sharks, and an assortment of migratory bird species.

We also explore pristine secluded beaches that are only easily accessible by boat. These beaches are amazing for  shell collectors or just taking in and admiring the beauty of this special place! There is a good chance you will be the only people around for miles.

This area has unique history dating back to the seventeenth century, 1800s, the civil war, and WWII. History buffs, make sure to ask Captain Lorraine about historical points of interest along the way.

This is the ultimate tour for nature lovers and people looking to get away from the crowds for a day!
