Join Coastal Kayak Charters for a small group guided kayak tour of the Shell Key Preserve. We are St Pete's top rated kayak tour company and focus exclusively on small groups and private tours. Our trips offer more personalized service and better wildlife viewing opportunities while out on the water. We will explore hidden mangrove tunnels (tides permitting), shallow seagrass meadows, and stop on Shell Island for time to swim, look for shells, or just relax and enjoy the beach. Our tours are designed for beginners and experienced kayakers alike. We use stable user friendly kayaks that provide a great paddling experience. We primarily use double kayaks unless you have an odd number in your group. If you prefer single kayaks they are available through our website. Come explore with local professionals who love what they do and see the difference for yourself.

Kristy was fantastic. We had a great time. Highly recommend for families. She spent time with each of us individually and shared her own excitement for the adventure.

This was a great tour! Our guide (Brian, I think…it was a couple months ago) was very knowledgeable and friendly. I loved the stories about the mangroves and stopping at the sand bar. 5 stars and I highly recommend!

Taylor was a great guide, shared good info on the local area. We saw dolphins, manatees, and had cormorants joining us for most of the trip fishing! Beautiful tour!

This is my first time doing kayaking and it went really amazing only because of the guide. Taylor is the best.
Thank you

Taylor was great, was such a fun experience. Highly recommended. It only takes about 2.5 hours and it flys by. You learn a lot about the wild life while doing it as well

Fantastic paddle with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Shell Key was a delightful stop for a swim and the mangrove tunnels were beautiful. We fought the wind in some of the open water stretches but the sunset views and natural beauty were worth the tired arms.

Tracy was our guide for the day and was great! Very knowledgeable on the wildlife and spotted some great things for us to see. We loved that they offered a mid day tour which most places didn't have. Would definitely go with this tour group again!
