Simply The Best!

5.00This was the highlight of our trip and Captain Chris was the reason! First, as our weather was not great, he was very accommodating about when we should or should not go. We got an incredible afternoon. Chris is with the Coast Guard, so he is very knowledgeable about navigating which made us feel very safe--a great positive if you have young children. The boat is super comfortable and you can stay mostly in the shade if you want to. We did some snorkeling (equipment provided) and then went to the sandbar which was so much fun in the middle of the ocean. I had my two teenage granddaughters with me and they loved this as well. Ask a lot of questions! Chris has so many fun facts and stories to tell! I highly recommend Captain Chris and Vita Vistas Boating.
Fun and relaxing

5.00Fantastic day on the water! We had so much fun. Noah was on time, knowledgeable of the area, able to give us everything we were looking for in the day and more. Noah asked what we were interested in and took it from there. We had an absolutely amazing day!

5.00Our half day Boat Adventure was INCREDIBLE! On the water, cruising through Mangroves, out to the Lighthouse and over to the Sand Bar! So much fun experiencing The Keys in a boat! The Captain knew all the right places to see and knew the stories that go with it! An absolute MUST!! We will definitely charter Captain Chris again!
Superior Sandbar Soiree

5.00We went from total sandbar rookies to feeling like the coolest kids on the water. Our friend’s birthday bash near Islamorada turned into an epic celebration, thanks to Captain Chris. He had everything covered — water hammock, paddle boat, snorkeling gear, and even a grill he fired up on the water to whip up his famous burgers. From loading us and enough baggage to sustain a small army to dropping us off at a waterfront seafood joint, he was captain, chef, tour guide, and all-around good vibe master. He took the experience to the next level.
Best way to be on the Keys

5.00Captain Chris absolutely made our South Florida trip! Our charter was hands down the highlight of our time in Islamorada. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and met several other charters out at the sandbar — and it was clear we had the best one! Captain Chris picked us up at a convenient location and had everything ready for an incredible day on the water: floaties, water toys, plenty of shade, and nonstop good vibes. He made sure we had everything we needed while keeping the energy fun, positive, and relaxed. His knowledge of the area was fantastic, and his commitment to making sure we had the perfect day was unmatched. Oh — and he makes a mean cheeseburger, too! We’ll 100% be back for round two with Captain Chris and Vita Vistas Boating. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an unforgettable sandbar day in the Keys!
My kids enjoyed this so much

5.00This was the best money I have ever spent! I could not have asked for a better experience. Captain Chris was fantastic. He catered to every possible need that you could think of. He took us to the light house to snorkel then to the sand bar. It was the best experience on the sand bar. He had water toys and floats for the kids. He barbecued the best cheese burgers. Everything is planned out where all you have to do it show up. We had great communication prior to trip just to make sure there wasn’t anything we wanted extra. Captain Chris and Noah are high trained coast guard guys. I never felt uncomfortable in the water. Noah even got into the water and snorkeled with my son. If I could give these guys more than 5 stars I would. If you have any doubts about booking I say don’t hesitate. Everyone needs an experience with Captain Chris.
Fantastic time ! You won’t regret this tour !

5.00We had such an Amazing day with Captain Chris! Very courteous, pleasant, and it was all that we could ask for in a day on the Boat! The weather was conducive for us to go to alligator relight, and then we cruised the sound for a bit to get out of the choppy sea, until we got to the sandbar where he made us amazing burgers while we floated, relaxed, drink, and sang ! He took care of everything! 10/10 .. would highly recommend him!
