Cruise out with our Marine Biologist, or Certified Master Naturalist, in pursuit of dolphins and manatee, and other wildlife. This cruise is the best to see the most wildlife! Learn about our diverse ecosystem and some of our local sealife, such as sea urchins, sea horses, conchs, brittle stars and more. Stop at a remote shelling barrier island along the way to look for shells, observe and learn about some of the sealife that may be found along the shoreline, and/or go for a swim if you like. All marine life is released. Backwater fishing with Capt. Mike on our 28-foot custom-built fishing cat, Up on Two, is the most stable vessel around, perfect for the expert angler to the newest line siders. Our fishing boat can get where the flats boats can but with twice the room and comfort.
