Treasure Seekers Shell Tours - Marco Island, Florida

I had a fantastic shelling trip with Treasure Seekers yesterday. The guides were fantastic. Josie was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me find shells I really like. Josie was definitely an expert. Dylan was terrific as boat captain making sure guests were safe and he also shared his knowledge of the 10,000 Islands waterways. A five star rating does not come close to how great the trip was.

We were taken to two islands by our friendly knowledgeable Captain Richard. He made sure we were safe and comfortable, he helped us on and off the boat and stayed with our boat while we went around the islands. Our guide was Hannah, she was Amazing! She went above and beyond to find us shells, teach us about different shells and sea animals… we learned a lot and had a great time finding shells.

I have been on this tour twice. Once with the previous owners and Once this past October with Captain Richard and shell guide, Debbie. Both are fantastic people. Debbie asked what I was looking to bring home and I told her the horse conch. I have always dreamed about having one. The very next step I took, I found one in about waist deep water! Debbie helped me pick it out from underneath a log! I was so happy! I found a few that day as well as several others that I didn't have in my collection! Debbie kept my family and I hydrated and kept a close eye on us, which I appreciated greatly! The islands are absolutely beautiful and they always make sure you leave with what you came for! The boat is beautiful as well! A very comfortable ride! Thank you for an amazing time! I can't wait to come back and bring more family to experience this amazing tour!

Dylan and Hannah were awesome!!! Best birthday ever!!! They had snacks, waters, and tea. I loved talking SW FL and shelling with them. They were so knowledgeable and kind. Friendly, but firm. Trying to wrangle shellers at the end of the day must be similar to herding cats.

I had an absolutely amazing time shelling! I found tons of shells and my favorite sand dollars and even a flat!! We spotted some dolphins on our way back and the captain was amazing and took the time for us to see them!
I highly recommend this shelling tour my favorite so far!! I am already planning on returning for another trip!!

Treasure Seekers Shell Tours AMAZING! I had a fabulous day out exploring the islands. Just what the doctor ordered! Beautiful day with some wonderful folks! With Ms. Caitlin and Ms Debbie as guides and Captain Jim at the helm you cannot go wrong! David always takes superb care of clients, and I so appreciate the effort! The shells were great, and I finally added a perfect Scotch Bonnet to my collection! Never have I had a bad day shelling with Treasure Seekers! Thank you for all you do!! Until next time, Shell On!! 😊

Our shelling tours was nothing less than fabulous! Captain Joe and Josie, our shelling guide were fantastic! We saw dolphins (not a scheduled part of the tour but appreciated). Then went shelling on 2 different islands. We pick up so many shells. All very beautiful, Josie told us all about each kind. Seriously we took a thousand pictures and had to stop picking up shells we had so many. I would go again tomorrow.

As the owner and captain of an eco-tour charter boat on the West Coast, I bring a unique perspective to this review. With 23 years of experience running boats and a focus on quality over quantity in my own charter business, I’m selective about the experiences I endorse. Treasure Seekers exceeded my expectations in every way.

Their comfortable, fast 6-person flats boats are perfectly designed to navigate shallow waters, providing access to the best shelling spots. During our stay on Marco Island, my wife and I joined Treasure Seekers for three incredible shelling tours (two 6-hour tours and one 4-hour tour) in just five days.

The team was exceptional. Captain Jim and expert shell naturalist Caitlin, along with Captain Joe and expert shell naturalist Amanda, were not only knowledgeable and passionate but also genuinely welcoming. Their enthusiasm for shelling is infectious, and they create an atmosphere where guests feel like part of the family.

The experience goes far beyond collecting shells—it's about forging a connection with nature and humanity through exploration. Treasure Seekers provided us with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.

Thank you, Treasure Seekers! We can’t wait to return.
