Beach Drop Day
Private remote beach. Drone reel included.
Naples Princess runs a 105-foot yacht. Pure Florida runs 130-passenger pontoons. They cannot beach. The 22' Aquasport draws under 18 inches — we pull onto soft sand at Keewaydin, Cape Romano, or Kice Island and tie up where no big-boat operator can take you.
I drop your group in the morning with a cooler full of ice, beach chairs, and an umbrella. You have the beach to yourselves. I return at the time of your choosing — most people pick sunset. The whole day, you're somewhere only a small boat could reach.
Optional: I bring a drone and a GoPro, capture the morning landing + an aerial reel of your group, and edit a 60-second cinematic delivered to you the next morning. It's $99 extra and it's the part everyone remembers.

Questions
What's the difference between this and Island Adventures?+
Island Adventures is a shuttle — I take you to Keewaydin's main beach and you're there with the day-trippers. Beach Drop Day is private and remote: I find you a stretch of sand most boats can't reach, and you have it to yourselves all day.
What if the weather turns?+
I make the call the morning of. If we can't safely run the boat, we reschedule or refund. If weather rolls in mid-day, I come get you early — that's why we stay in text contact all day.
Is the beach really empty?+
On weekdays, almost always. Saturdays at Keewaydin's south end can have one or two other boats. Cape Romano and Kice are typically empty even on weekends — they're harder to reach.
What's the drone reel actually look like?+
60 seconds, cinematic, vertical for IG / horizontal for sharing. We capture the landing, an aerial of your group on the sand, and a sunset shot. Edited overnight, delivered by 10am the next day via Dropbox link.
Can I bring more than 6 people?+
Yes — Croix can run two boats with a second captain. Quoted custom for groups of 7+. Text the captain to discuss.
