The Floating Sifter
The secret weapon behind every Sharkier eco-tour — and the same gear you can rent or buy for your own hunt.

Floating sifters are made in Englewood, Florida, USA!
Why a floating sifter?
A floating sifter lets you sift right in the water where the teeth are. Scoop up sand and shells with your rake, dump it in the sifter, and let the waves wash away the sand — leaving shark teeth, shells, and fossils behind. It's faster, easier, and more effective than sifting on dry land.
Built for Manasota Key
The floating design keeps your finds at the surface. The mesh is sized to catch even tiny teeth, the construction is sturdy in saltwater, and it's the same gear our guides use on every tour.
