What a wonderful tour and boat ride yesterday with Captain Rachael. She not only showed me the beautiful sites, but she also explained everything. It was pleasant, relaxing and enjoyable. If you want a fun day, call Captain Rachael. Shes the best. We even saw dolphins.

Captain Rachael Russo is amazing. Ive known her since she was running a water taxi and she now has her own beautiful boat. She absolutely loves what she does, getting to meet new people and she is great with kids. She is also an excellent photographer and knows a lot about the birds and exactly where to find dolphins and manatees. Many of our guests have cruised with her and all have written to thank us for the recommendation.

What an awesome experience! This was the highlight of our trip, and something I will remember for the rest of time. The captain was friendly, kind, personable, and informative. We will be back, and have already told others about this tour. If we could do it every night, we would. If you are looking for an amazing, personal boat tour look no further. I rarely leave reviews, but this tour is worth it. MUST DO!

Captain Rach is truly one of a kind. Shes polite, professional, accommodating and fun! I met Captain Rach years ago with another boat company and tour and had the best time as she showed us around the area for a wild Bachelorette party! Then, was lucky enough to be her first customer on her own boat. Weve ridden numerous times with her since then and are always just so pleased. She knows great places to take people, makes you feel comfortable, and is an amazing woman captain! If youd like to take any type of tour...relaxing and cozy...to wild and crazy, on an immaculate new boat, shes your girl!!

We had a great boat tour today with Captain Rachael and Shellabrate. She is very knowledgeable about the area and its history. My grandchildren wanted to see dolphins and manatees and Rachael knew just where to find them. I cant recommend her highly enough. If you want a great, safe tour, book with Captain Rachael and Shellabrate Boat Tours.

We did the sandbar hopping experience with a group of friends and had SO MUCH fun! Captain Rachel was laid back and enjoyable to talk to and knew all of the best spots. She let us plug our own music up to her boat so we were bumpin all the way, and we even had some dolphin and manatee sightings! We will be booking our next boating adventure with Captain Rachel for sure!

Our group of four had a fantastic afternoon with Captain Rachel! She was quick to respond to our last minute request for a boat tour, and very welcoming and professional. Her boat was clean and well set up for guests. It was the perfect afternoon of sun and relaxation! We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.

Captain Rachael was the best! She made sure everyone had a blast and provided outstanding service. We really appreciate her being able to pick us up and drop us off at our resort on Casey key. I highly recommend booking with her. I also wanna say Ill be back to do a clean up tour with her in the future and I wish more people cared about our environment like her. Cheers!

Captain Rachael is really knowledgable when it comes to the waters. I highly suggest the sunset tour. Watching it on land doesn’t nearly compare to watching it on the water. It literally takes your breath away. We did two different tours with her and can’t wait to go again. Her hospitality is top-notch!!!

My wife and I took a New Years Eve cruise with Captain Rachel to Sarasota to see the fireworks. We had a great time. Captain Rachel is very professional, well organized, and very personable. It was a wonderful evening, we will definitely book trips with her in the future. Very highly recommended.

Six of us took Captain Rachels Tiki Bar Hop -- it was a great time! Actually even more fun than we thought it would be. She was the perfect guide -- the best mix of knowledge without interjecting too much and letting her passengers do their own thing. Great speaker on board to play your music via bluetooth. Would definitely recommend and use Shellebrate again!

Racheal is the ultimate professional tour guide and captain! My husband and I signed up for a tour today after following her on Facebook for over a year ! She did not disappoint. Not only is Racheal a knowledgable tour guide ( bonus ) she really knows her way around the waterways!. Her boat is super clean and even has a head ( boat speak for bathroom!) We pulled up to Pops for food and drink and served dockside due to the mandatory restaurant dining- in closures. Way to support a local business! Thank you Racheal and see you soon for a sunset tiki bar tour!!

We moved down to Sarasota County about a year ago, but never took advantage of any of the water-based activities. We decided to take a sunset cruise and found Captain Rachel. She met us before sundown and took us on a trip up the Intracoastal Waterway describing landmarks and natural habitats. She then took us out on the Gulf through the Venice inlet, bringing us back to our car after a two hour look at our newly adopted home.We appreciate you Captain Rachel and will recommend you to everyone who wants to do a tour whether it be fishing or a sunset cruise.

My wife and I took the sunset Cruise with shellebrate, it was one of the highlights of or time in Florida. Rachel has such a huge knowledge of the area, her boat is new which we felt it would be very dependable, and it was. The restroom on board was a big plus. The next trip to Florida, we will do it again

I booked a surprise Tiki Bar Hop with Captain Rachel for my husband’s 60th Birthday this past Saturday. She was a great captain and the whole experience was awesome. She picked us up (6 of us) at Dockside in Venice and we stopped at Pop’s, Evie’s (get the duck buckets) and we ended at Marina Jack’s. We also saw a pod of dolphins that came very close to the boat. Beautiful, fun day all around and I highly recommend.
