Captain Shawn Palmer

Captain Shawn Palmer is one of our most seasoned mariners — steady hands, easy conversation, and a lot of hours reading Southwest Florida water. When the Naples Bay water shuttle is running, you'll often find him at its wheel, threading the bay from dock to dock.

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.
