Magazine Coverage!
Amazing news! I have had the pleasure to work with Scott & Jensen this past fall to help capture what an amazing life and location we live in in the Tampa Bay Area! They both came onboard with some models to shoot the cover photo and different areas like the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Passage Key, & Tampa Bay! You all made the day so fun to work side by side for/with you! I am thankful they created an amazing advertisement & feature for Shellebrate Boat Tours as well! 🍹🍻🛥☸👩✈️🐢

What a full circle moment I just had today! I've received an email from Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium today saying they have officially found a turtle nest for Shellebrate Boat Tours to adopt and put the name on it. It is in front of Shellebrate's first home at Fisherman's Cove, Turtle Beach-Siesta Key on Turtle Beach!
I will keep you updated! We will maybe have 100 baby loggerhead sea turtles in a few months!
Shellebrate Boat Tours is partnering up with 4ocean!
When you buy a bracelet or product from 4ocean they take out 5 lbs of pollution out of our waters!
Captain Rachael loves turtles and pollution: plastic, netting, balloons, etc are equal amounts of a danger compared to sharks and predators hunting sea turtles.

Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium
Mote Marine Laboratory is a Sarasota-based marine research and conservation institution, also boasting a public Aquarium. The Laboratory, founded by Dr. Eugenie Clark in 1955 in Placida, FL, was originally known as Cape Haze Marine Laboratory until 1967, when it was renamed after its major benefactor, William R. Mote. The Lab originally focused on Dr. Clark’s work with sharks and other fish, but has since expanded to research a huge variety of marine science topics.
I myself am a huge supporter for any help, research, and education on our environment and community.
Anyone who books a boat tour for 5 hours with me I will be donating in your name 10% to Mote in hopes to help their efforts in marine conservation, research, and education.
