This was an awesome snorkeling experience!! The boat was small - about 12 passengers, and the crew, Chuck and Jared, were very friendly, welcoming and helpful! Compared to the mega boats, this was excellent for our first time snorkeling. We had a variety of ages and skill levels and all were treated well. We had long time experienced snorkelers and they said that this boat (Fish Monster) was the best!! We highly recommend this experience!!

This was our favorite experience of our trip to Key West. The captain and deck hand were so helpful and knowledgeable. Purely enjoyable, and purely Key West. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The only thing we would have changed was to have also booked the sunset sail!

This was a wonderful outing and the skipper and assistant were terrific Lots of beautiful fish to see, particularly brilliant blue fish, a few quite large. Perhaps at one time in the past there was coral but not now. We didn’t go sailing. Perhaps this was because the wind was not strong enough, but likely it was because there was not time for it and it is hard to imagine them having time. For that it really needs to be a 4 hour trip. However, in summary it was fantastic and we liked the fact it was more intimate. We just had 9 people aboard, much better than the cattlemarans (as they termed it)

The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. They gave a brief lesson on how to snorkel and answered questions so as a first experience you were able to participate. I would have loved some more sailing

It was a nice trip, Captain Doug and Courtney were great hosts, the ocean was pretty rough the day we went but it was still enjoyable, it was nice being on the boat with only a small group of people.

Should have cancelled the tour. High winds, choppy water, so had to change from original location. Nothing to see at the alternate location. Most of the tour came back to the boat early. Drank a ton a salt water. Should have cancelled to make for an enjoyable experience.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We are not positive what trip you were on but it would have been deemed safe to sail, but also remember you are out on the reef and in open water. We hope you come back again when the sun is shining! Thanks for the review!
JohanBakke_L, Mar 2026
This was a great trip. On a nice 54 foot sailboat, a fun and relaxing cruise to the reef. Experienced crew who know about the best spots for snorkelling, depending on winds and currents. We saw all kinds of marine life including dolphins and sharks. All in all highly recommended.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
We are glad to hear you enjoyed the trip and hope to see you again soon. Thank you for the review!

10/10 experience! Eric and his partner were absolutely incredible. I myself wanted to snorkel and my boyfriend just came along for the ride and we both had an amazing time. It’s about an hour ride out, an hour in the water, and an hour back. Perfect balance and they offer unlimited drinks so you can’t beat that. We’ll definitely be back!

This trip was a 10/10!! It was peaceful, relaxing and also very fun and exciting!! We saw dolphins, sea turtles and felt very safe and supported while snorkeling. Which is optional of course!! The boat ride was dreamy. The captain was calm, capable, and kind, as was the first mate!
This was the highlight of our trip!

It was a great tour. We were worried about the weather, but the captain decided to go on the Thanksgiving day with only 5 people on the boat. Very appreciate the decision! The staff was so nice and provided the best service and help us to prepare for snorkeling. Saw beautiful fishes and good amount of sea turtles. We really had fun time. Thank you!

I would NOT recommend this place at all, flew down to enjoy a birthday getaway from out of state was very much looking forward to getting some sun time and exploring the reefs we get a call 1 hour before our reef departure and was told because we only have a small amount of people we are canceling your trip. Was unable to find anything else same day TOTALLY ruined the trip run away from this place as fast as you can. The person on the phone also had a very bad attitude problem and should not be handling these situations what’s so ever. Don’t risk the same experience happening to you go with someone else plenty of other and cheaper options out there wanted to give them benefit of the doubt and pay a little more but never again let me experience save you headache and let down.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
We are not positive what trip you were on but sometimes we unfortunately have to cancel
trips due to slow season. We do offer private trips which would prevent that. We are sorry you were unable to reschedule your trip. We hope that if you come back for another visit you will try to go out us again.

Very disappointed. Husband and I are certified
Divers. Trip was good. But the mate should have been in the water helping the ones who had problems clearing their masks or snorkel.
My friend was in trouble. Made no attempt to help her. Have been snorkeling 20 years plus.
Always had a hand if needed. . Will not book this company again
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Sorry for your experience. This is not our normal practice. We would love to talk to you more about it and figure out what day you went on the trip. Please give us a call at 305-432-0046. Thank you!

The snorkel tour was such a blast from start to finish. The crew, Captain Chuck and Jared, had the perfect mix of fun energy and professionalism—they made everyone feel relaxed and ready to jump in. The water was crystal clear, the reefs were gorgeous, and we saw so many colorful fish, including grouper, baracuda, and a lobster. Everything was super easy—great gear, clear instructions, and plenty of time in the water. We soaked up the sun and left with memories we’ll never forget. If you’re in the Keys, this is a must-do!

The captain and mate were awesome. Jared did everything he could to make it a great experience. Unfortunately we didn’t see anything. And the reef was all dark colors and so were the fish. Location could have been better

Thanks for the review. Overcast days are tough. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the trip. We hope you come back again when the sun is shining!

Captain Eric and crew Hunter had the jokes and knowledge of the area to provide an awesome experience! I was fortunate to have a more private excursion with only two other guests, making the sailboat seem twice the size. From walking around the deck and seeing endless sea turtles and other sea life to and from the dock, seeing a dolphin, and the snorkeling, it was a great time. The captain and crew will go to all measures to make sure your time aboard the boat is the best possible - Offering drinks and answers to questions about sea life or the area of the Keys in general! These guys are great company!

it was a great boat and the captain and first mate were off the charts fantastic. Alice D and Charla were so easy going and I formative. I have been snorkeling many times thru various avenues. We had some people who have never been and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for them. Thank you
