5.00Best experience ever! We went with our family of four and our friends family of four. Two kids that are 2 and two a little older. They all had a great time! First mate Mandy is hilarious and full of neat information about the area and her daughter was great with our kids showing them fish and playing along with them. While captain Dave guided us safely to our destinations, even turning around for us to view the hammerhead shark again that we passed by. 100% recommend this charter for snorkel and sandbar! You won’t be disappointed.
Great experience!

5.00WE HAD THE BEST TIME!! Let’s start with Lisa, the lady on the phone that I booked with. Her personality shown through the phone. We laughed the entire time I was booking the trip. Captain Dawn and her first mate Brandon were great! So very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They got everyone’s snorkeling gear figured out and on the boat we went. We saw dolphins before we even left the harbor. They pointed out flying fish and rays and turtles. Snorkeling the reef was amazing. Knowing Dawn and Brandon where on watch for fish for us to see, to make sure we didn’t leave the safe area and to flag down rogue boats that wanted to drive through the swimming area, made it super easy to trust them. We had such a great time that before we got off the boat we booked a sunset trip for that evening. Brandon gave us the best local lunch recommend as well. They all helped make my daughter’s 30th birthday AMAZING! Thank you to the whole crew.
GREAT FISH!

5.00Wonderful trip, boat was equipped well, Captain Kerry was great, as well as ….can’t remember her name. Funny, helpful, and well informed. THE FISH! So many different kinds. I lived in Hawaii, spent a lot of time snorkeling, this was probably better! Would do it again on my next trip to The Keys.

5.00I've done many snorkel and dive charters over the last few decades. And this, hands down was the funnest. Captain and First Mate were seasoned and knew their job well. Professional with the right amount of levity. We got lucky and the weather was perfect on Sunday, 4/19 as it had been breezy up until then. The Captain was gracious enough and allowed me to launch my drone for some aerial reef pics. Outstanding experience. I'll be doing it again next year.
Awesome

5.00We had a wonderful morning with Mandy and the captain (sorry don’t remember the name). Extensive briefing, felt very safe the whole time. Saw some dolphins and turtles on the way to the reef, captain diverted to make sure everybody could see them. While playing music suitable for the occassion, hilarious! On the reef the crew kept a close watch for our safety. Crew made sure that everybody had a great trip but also made sure that nobody touched or disturbed the reef and the marine life. Well done!
10/10. The crew was...
