What you'll do:

Sand Dollar Bachelorette Boat Experience — Marco Island, FL

Your crew. Your vibe. Your rules on the water.

Ditch the crowded bar crawl and celebrate the bride-to-be the way she deserves — on a private boat with your closest girls, sipping your favorite drinks, soaking up the Southwest Florida sunshine, and making memories that'll outlast any Instagram story.

Sand Dollar Shelling & Boat Tours has been the Gulf Coast's go-to for intimate, small-group adventures on Marco Island and the Ten Thousand Islands. Our USCG-licensed captains know every hidden cove, waterfront hotspot, and scenic stretch of water between Port Royal and the Isles of Capri — and now we're bringing all of it to your bachelorette celebration.

Yes to BYOB. Yes to dancing on deck. Yes to whatever makes your party unforgettable.

Whether you're keeping it short and sweet or turning it into a full girls' day on the water, we have a tour length that fits your crew:

  • 2.5 Hours — Port Royal cruise through Marco Island's most stunning waterfront, iconic estates, and open Gulf views. Perfect for a sip-and-sail vibe.

  • 3 Hours — Everything above plus a private beach stop to splash, shell, and soak up the sun.

  • 4+ Hours — Go big. Add a stop at Party Beach, or pull up by boat to a waterfront restaurant on Marco or Isles of Capri — favorites like Island Gypsy or the Snook Inn — for drinks, food, and a full celebration on the water.

Along the way, expect wild dolphins riding the wake right alongside you, breathtaking Gulf scenery, and a laid-back captain who keeps the good times rolling.

Small boat. Big memories. The bride deserves nothing less.

Customizable duration | Private group charter | BYOB welcome | Naples departures

Why we love it for your party:

    • Your playlist, your vibe — Bluetooth sound system means the bride's anthem plays the moment you pull away from the dock

    • BYOB and cheers on the water — Bring your favorite drinks and let the Gulf be your backdrop

    • Surprise guests included — Wild dolphins have a habit of crashing the party, and honestly, they're welcome

    • Sun, shade, and everything in between — A shade canopy means you stay cool and camera-ready all cruise long

    • Cold drinks handled — Onboard cooler keeps the celebration properly chilled from start to finish

    • Lounge like you mean it — Comfortable seating so the squad can relax, sip, and soak it all in

    • Private beach moments — Step off the boat onto a secluded sandbar that feels like it was made just for your group

    • Lunch on the water — Dock at a waterfront restaurant on the Isles of Capri and turn your cruise into a full night out

    • No strangers, no crowds — This is a private charter, so it's just your crew and your captain the whole time

What should we wear and bring?

Comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little sun in, swimwear if you plan to get in the water at a beach stop, sunscreen, sunglasses, and your drinks of choice. We'll handle the rest.

Can we decorate the boat or bring party supplies?

Yes! Bring the sashes, the inflatables, the flower crowns — we love it. Just check with us ahead of time on anything oversized so we can make sure everything fits safely on board.
