I’ve used Sand Dollar for private sunset tours with visitors and also, a few times, as a floating party venue. They are able to accommodate any occasion and they go far out of their way to make each experience successful. We’ve experienced good and bad weather, large and small groups, elaborate and simple events. The Sand Dollar team is on point in every situation.
This is my 3rd boat cruise with Sand Dollar Boat and Tiki Tours of Naples and I honestly have to say I don’t have enough accolades to describe my experiences with them. They are highly professional, organized and the crew is always taking care of the party from a safety standpoint as well as ensuring everyone is having a good time. In terms of details for the person planning an event with them just know there is ample space for food and beverages. For one event we had Kayla from Bicyclette and HeyDay cater and they provided a layout so we could understand the space and dimensions. If it is someone’s birthday, just keep in mind that an actual candle won’t work but an easy workaround is to have a battery operated candle and have someone turn it off when they blow it out. Easy! All of my experiences have started as a beautiful cruise in the bay and then it turns into a fun dance party. And if you want stunning pictures your party can post, you are define going to get them. Book them for your next event! You will not be disappointed! Sunny wishes, Katherine Dean
Always a great time with Sand Dollar! We love their tiki boat and captains!
Captain Paul was the BEST! He reached out by phone and helped us navigate the long action at the resort. And was great about making sure he understood our preferences up front for the evening. He told great stories about the area and made sure we were comfortable the whole way. Can’t wait for a repeat.
Our captain last night was delightful and the perfect amount of interest action/education/fun and allowing us to quietly enjoy. I am grateful we had the retired school teacher from NJ!
Sand dollar tiki boat tours is a family run business and it shows! They care about their customers. Friends and I recently had 70th birthday party boat ride and Captain Evan, Captain Dave, and Evan’s wife made sure we had a great time. They cater to your needs while keeping everyone safe and happy. Evan’s wife can give you the best advice on what type of food and drinks work best on the boat. Don’t hesitate. Book this experience! You’ll be glad you did!
Captain Evan brought us to Keeywadin for our wedding and was amazing! He gave us a beautiful tour prior then brought us to Keeywadin and helped us setup for our wedding. Amazing captain and company! Highly recommend!
My wife and I went on a private shelling tour in the 10,000 islands. It was part of our 30 year wedding anniversary celebration. We saw beautiful scenery, and the dolphins put on a show for us. We did not find the legendary Junonia shell but we did find more than our fair share including lightning whelks, Florida cones, alphabet cones, Florida fighting conchs, horse conchs, apple murexes, lace murexes. heart cockles, sand dollars, paper figs, banded tulips and more. Captain Joey was a pleasure to hunt with and worked hard to help my wife and me find treasures to take home with us. He was even flexible enough to extend out trip by an additional 2 hours and take us to an additional location when we told him were were having too much fun to call it quits after the initially scheduled 4 hour trip. This was our 6th trip with Sand Dollar Shelling in less than a year and these great experiences keep us coming back for more. I would not hesitate to recommend Captain Joey and Sand Dollar Shelling to anyone looking for the ultimate shelling experience.
The trip was amazing and so hospitable (they even had blankets if we were cold). The captain and crew are very professional, and safety is first priority. Would recommend 100%!!
Fantastic trip - Went on a 3 hour sunset trip with Captain Dave. Saw dolphins, sailed in mangrove straits and beach where Dave found places without other boats. Saw the most beautiful sunset with dolphins. 1st class professional company with everything under control, which gave us an absolutely fantastic and best experience tour.
Captain Paul S. Was the greatest, he was very informative and we had fun. Saw lots of dolphins and collected a lot of shells and sand dollars.
Had a wonderful sunset cruise and magnificent sunset complete with dolphins playing with our waves!! Our captain was very knowledgeable and charming!!
We had such an amazing time on this sunset cruise. The experience exceeded all of our expectations. The sunset was so beautiful and being on the water was peaceful. Captain Paul was knowledgeable and personable. We even got to see dolphins at the end of our boat trip thanks to him. This is a must do if you are in Naples.
I have been on many sunset boat tours over the 19 years I have lived here. This was by far the best experience. Captain Paul was so informative and pleasant. He had such a welcoming demeanor. The boat was in excellent condition and plenty of space for the 5 of us on board. Highly recommend!
A great way to spend afternoon on the water! Captain Paul O’Neil was excellent guide and overly accommodating. Highly recommend
The entire trip was wonderful! Captains Evan and Paul were amazing Highly recommend this beautiful cruise All of us really enjoyed the experience !
We have taken similar tours before on larger party boats. To celebrate our father's 90th Birthday we splurged and took this private cruise. It was well worth the treat. Having a private tour with only our family and Captain Paul was outstanding. Captain Pul was very professional and he read his audience very well providing just the right amount of assistance and commentary at the appropriate time. Thank you Captain Paul.
