This leaves from Hubbard’s Marina and cruises an hour to the island.

Enjoy a Shelling Cruise to look for sea shells on Shell Key!
Purchase discounted tickets for a 3 hour cruise to Shell Key Preserve from John’s Pass. It’s an hour boat ride to get there. Then you’re on the island with the shells for an hour and an hour boat ride back to Hubbard’s Marina at John’s Pass.
Looking for sea shells on this Shelling Cruise is certain to make you hungry and thirsty and there’s plenty of places to go at John’s Pass. We’ve been to a restaurant along the water and the Bubba Gump Shrimp place. Both were good.
