With experienced local captains, dedicated shell guides, and a commitment to responsible ecotourism, we create memorable experiences centered around whatever you treasure most — family time, natural wonder, beautiful shells, or an unforgettable day on the water.

Relax and learn more than you ever thought possible about the natural world in this one-of-a-kind Southwest Florida destination.
Buckets of beautiful shells

Miles of gorgeous scenery
See dolphins, birds, and more while taking in Southwest Florida’s famous sunsets — we’ll be your guide to it all.
Cast the day away
Would rather fish than shell? Spend your day on the sparkling Gulf waters in comfort — that’s an option too.
We care about the environment in which we work.

BECOME A MEMBER
JOIN the J Club
Serious shellers might guess that J stands for Junonia. To be specific, Treasure Seekers guests join the J Club when they find a Scaphella junonia — a special treasure because these gastropods live 40–60 miles offshore.
Imagine a shell traveling that far without being destroyed. Although the most avid collectors seek them for their rarity and beauty, we’ve helped inexperienced guests — including children — find this unique treasure. Anyone who wants to jump aboard could be the next lucky member of our J Club!
