Easily accessible, the crew was the best. Every time you turned around they ask what’s you need. Sand bar and dolphins is a must to relax and enjoy the breeze. Food was phenomenal and always fresh till the end

Captain Logan and his excellent crew Nic and Claire took excellent care of us. All worked tirelessly to assure that everyone was well taken care of. The sandbar was all that we hoped it would be and the dolphin sittings were fine. Cudos to all.

3 ladies ran this boat like the bosses they are! The captain had clear communication with her crew as well as the communication between the 2 deckhands. One was newer to the boat but jumped right in and was an asset to the other ladies. The service for food and drink was top tier. A floating bar that they refilled over and over making sure everyone was having a great time at the sandbar. We struck out on dolphins on the way to the sandbar however on the way back we checked out a different area where we saw multiple dolphins and turtles. They were super informative and knowledgeable about the dolphins which they shared and answered questions. They didn’t just go park the boat and hope for the best. They made the best experience as possible for everyone. Hands down this was our best day in key west. These 3 ladies were amazing and proved this isn’t just a man’s industry. They crushed it.

Excellent trip with Captain John, Terry, and Maggie. We saw so many dolphins, had two hours to play at the sandbar, and the food and drinks were abundant. Had a blast!
