THIS is the place to seek out for excellent shell tours. Great price and guaranteed shell finds. This is the third trip I have made with them and they are better than good! Josh was an excellent captain. If you are interested in shells galore, adventure, seeing dolphins and dome homes sighting too, then just ask for Josh!

Treasure Seekers provides an amazing experience. Captain Richard and first mate Jamie are absolutely wonderful. They find out what you would like to do, shells or scenery you would like to target or visit and make it happen. Constantly there to help and assist in every way and make sure you're completely comfortable and at ease. After having multiple private tours (it's worth it!) with Captain Richard and Treasure Seekers, I can't speak highly enough of them. Would go back with them tomorrow if I could.

The boat ride out to Kise Island was breathtaking. Our first mate Christina was phenomenal. She put us on some once-in-a-lifetime finds. We found more shells than the mind can absorb. Release the ones that were occupied. And brought home several spectacular finds. The weather was beautiful. All we had to bring was ourselves a hat and some sunscreen. Christina provided us with water to drink and a snack afterwards. Captain Parker gave us a beautiful scenic tour back to the launch. Mark and I would like to personally think this crew for an experience that we will never forget. We will definitely be back. And we'll specifically ask for this duo.

We took a private charter with Captain Richard and Jamie. The experience was outstanding and so much fun. We went to two different islands (Dickman’s and Kice). The shelling was great; no junonias, but we found lots of beautiful shells including an Alphabet cone, flat black scallop and many sand dollars.
Captain Richard was great; he explained a lot about the islands & his love of the area is very obvious. He even spent some extra time idling so we could watch some dolphins playing.
Jamie was our shell guide and she was amazing. She knows a great deal about the islands, the ecosystem and is definitely the “Shell Whisperer”. She was able to tell us where the best places were to look for certain shells, was able to identify every type of shell we found, which ones were rare, etc. Her enjoyment of her chosen career on the water is also very obvious and her love of the islands and the peacefulness of the environment is so refreshing and made our experience so enjoyable and fulfilling.
I highly recommend Treasure Seekers if you’re looking for a shelling trip or an eco-cruise through the beautiful 10,000 islands.
We will be taking more shelling trips soon, bringing our visiting friends and will be requesting Captain Richard & Jamie!

Couldn’t wait to go on this trip! It lived up to all the reviews and expectations!
My family first came to Marco in 1968....and as a young child learned to shell and become an avid collector over the decades. My collection is vast and really stunning, not to mention my parents collection since they live here. But... I’ve never shelled like when I went on this trip! The outer islands were so beautiful and primitive and a joy to see and experience. Loved the tour. Extremely exciting and safe. Our captain Richard was perfect, always so helpful and friendly and full of advice from his years of experience. Truly a joy.
I hadn’t seen live massive horse conchs and Lightning Welks in many years, so it was so good to see them surviving, thriving and living in such a calm uninhabited surroundings.
Seeing Marco and Goodland from the Gulf was a great experience. Thank you!
