Reviews from Google

September 2023

My husband and I went on the snorkeling trip to Egmont yesterday. We had a great time. The snorkeling spot they picked was great. Really was an enjoyable day and I would recommend the trip to friends. Professional, safe, fun...

This is our 2nd trip with this crew. Our family is from Iowa and this team never disappoints. So much to see and do. Highly recommended. Thanks for the great experience.

This was a great first time experience snorkeling! The captain extended our tour until we were able to see the dolphins. He is very knowledgeable and would even help people getting shells😁

Great time! The captain was fun, engaging, and had so much knowledge about the island and Florida! Definitely recommend!

Overall best snorkeling trip I have been on, great for anyone, beginners and couples especially. Boat trip was enjoyable and the island/snork. spot was much less busy than expected. John was awesome and on point, as well as being very knowledgeable and nice.

My wife and I took a trip with Captain John this past Saturday and had a wonderful time. The ruins of the gun batteries were so cool to scuba dive around, the fish were out in force, and the water temperature was perfect. Captain John was not only entertaining but also very knowledgeable about the surrounding shores and their histories.

We had a great time and getting to see the tortoises and dolphins were some of the highlights of our trip. We would highly recommend you check them out if you are thinking about snorkeling in this area!

Dolphin Tours in St. Petersburg, FL

Our trip in a minute.

VSPC is the official tourism marketing and management organization for St. Pete Clearwater.

Dolphins only jump and play with boats that have a single hull. Do your research when booking your next Dolphin cruise.

No one covers so much coastline scouting for dolphins to jump and play in our single-hull boat wake. A great photo opportunity! Once at Egmont Key, you are free to explore this tropical island with ruins dating to the 1700's a working lighthouse, shelling where an abundance of sea shells constantly wash onshore. Then we will take you snorkeling in the clear waters of Egmont key.

We have 4 single-hull boats going out twice a day, carrying 25 people each.

Pictures/Videos are worth a thousand words! Can't wait to see yours!

Replica Watches are becoming more and more popular, and these days it’s really hard to find a very good supplier. We recommend using our partners OpClock, where you can buy Rolex Replica , Patek replica , and other big brand replica watches

Dolphins jumping next to the boat in your own private dolphin watching show. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and only our custom built boats have something to show you. Wild dolphins playing and having fun! No, this isn’t a theme park or an aquarium. These are dolphins doing what they love for your family to enjoy. Not just a 35 minute boat ride, a dolphin jumping, thrill of a lifetime. (Don’t believe me, watch our videos.) But wait, that’s only the beginning. Enjoy a half day experience like no other.

Ready to get wet?

Egmont Key snorkeling is particularly well suited for the novice, because the water is so frequently clear, calm, shallow, and full of life. People of all ages and experience levels will take home wonderful memories about their time in the water with us. Our tours always provide an experienced crew, the utmost discretion for safety. Our comfortable boats offer water-level entry, and in-water ladders for safely returning to the deck. All snorkelers are supervised in the water, and may come-and-go on-board as they please while at the snorkeling site feel at ease knowing your family isn’t just safe, but about to experience the time of their lives!

We disembark at Egmont Key State Park. Formally a haven of pirates, soldiers, and native americans. Explore the 150+ year old lighthouse. Discover Spanish-American history among war forts, gun batteries, jails, and armories. (Imagine showing your children a history lesson they will never forget.) The island’s trails snake from history to wildlife refuge to the beautiful palm tree lined secluded beaches. Play on the white sandy shoreline of this island, only accessible by boat. Collect prehistoric sharks teeth and seashells of all shapes and sizes unique to Florida’s gulf coast.

We’re not done yet! Surfs up!

Relax in the shade of our custom built boats as we scout Tampa Bay’s waters for more dolphin tales. (Once you’ve seen dolphins surf behind our boat you can’t get enough). Don’t just go on vacation, enjoy an experience that will make lifelong memories with the original and only Egmont Key snorkeling and dolphin surfing charter boat.

How do we get off at the beach?

For our island stops, we use a series of steps from the front of our boat to the sand. Typically, you can step right from the boat/steps to the sand. However, on occasion, it may be up to ankle deep.

What should we wear?

Comfort is key! Swimming is discouraged during the island stop due to strong tidal currents. Guests are encouraged to dress as they feel comfortable for their evening with easily removable shoes for their walk on the beach. Keep in mind, being on the water in the evening is about 10 degrees colder than is forecasted, so a windbreaker or light jacket is always safe.

Is your vessel handicap accessible?

Unfortunately we are not handicap accessible at this time. Guests with limited mobility (i.e. walkers, canes) should call our office prior to booking. A good rule of thumb is if the limited mobility passenger is able to make it up 2-3 standard stairs with assistance. Our crew is always here to help and eager to share our memorable trip with all!
