During the summer months, keep an eye out for gentle manatees, often seen in our warm waters. Bird lovers will also delight in the chance to observe a variety of native bird species — from majestic wading birds to soaring seabirds.

3 Hour Private Charter

Wildlife & Shelling Adventure

This three-hour trip blends peaceful wildlife viewing with a visit to one of our favorite secluded beaches — accessible only by boat. Perfect for those seeking a more relaxed, nature-focused experience, our Wildlife & Shelling Charters offer the ideal escape.

Cruise through the coastal back bays of Fort Myers Beach, where you’ll discover a vibrant ecosystem filled with marine life. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to collect unique shells on untouched shorelines and enjoy close-up views of native wildlife.

Dolphins are spotted here year-round, and during the summer months, manatee sightings are common in the warm, shallow waters. Whether you’re adventuring solo, with family, or with friends, this charter promises unforgettable memories on the water.

Very knowledgeable and competent! Our family went on a Dolphin Manatee tour with Captain Ty this morning- it was better than I ever imagined! Captain Ty not only knew about the wildlife but also the history of the area! His care and concern for the environment was quite evident! I highly recommend Captain Ty and Good Time Charters and look forward to our next adventure! Thank you so much!
