Captain Joey Nadotti

Captain Joey Nadotti is a Naples native — born and raised on these coastal waters — and it shows in every trip he leads: a local's perspective, an easy energy, and a genuine love of the hunt for a good shell.

You'll most often find him on shelling and dolphin adventures, pointing out a hidden shell or sharing stories about Naples' coastal history. His own love of shelling is the not-so-secret ingredient — guests rave about his knack for finding the best spots.

Captains and crew rotate across the fleet and both home ports with the season and the tides, so we can't promise who'll be at your wheel on a given day — but every Sand Dollar trip runs with a local captain, USCG licensed & insured, and a crew that treats your day on the water like their own.
