We had a great trip— experienced crew, clean boat, good drinks, and fun snorkeling. The water was beautiful and we saw lots of fish. The crew were all very nice and made our experience fun (the drinks were great!). The catamaran was also very well-kept and we felt safe. Would definitely sail with them again!

The boat ride out was beautiful and informative. The snorkeling was so much fun. It was very wavy but the fish that we saw were amazing. Getting back on the boat at the end of the snorkeling was slightly challenging. The ride back in was so much fun. We had several of the promised margaritas and enjoyed the ride back to Key West. The staff was great!

Key west snorkeling

Tamera_W, May 2026
Loved this adventure. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Weather you have snorkeled before or is your first time it is a great trip. Worth it even if you just stay on the and enjoy the time on the water, the drinks and the company of others. Even though weather did not allow us to go to the actual reef, the area we snorkeled did have sea life. Parrotfish, grouper, nurse sharks, coral and more.

First time off shore snorkeler

Mike_M, May 2026
It is a little intimidating when you first get out to the reef, after you get there the crew makes you feel comfortable. It was a blast.

Loved it!

Darianna_M, May 2026
It’s a unique experience definitely worth it! It was a great time and the crew was excellent from the start to finish

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Great service

Johnny_B, May 2026
We did not experience that much fish or sea life. was expecting more. The service was great and the whole experience was fun and very professional!

Fun and worth the time and money.

Janet_A, May 2026
Everything was GREAT that was in control of the staff. They were fun, knowledgeable, courteous, caring. The only disappointment was the lack of sea life and vibrant colors- which is outside of the control of the crew.

Great time , great staff....

Mary_B, May 2026

Response from Host, May 2026

Awesome crew, wonderful views

Katie_W, May 2026
Liv, Wade and crew were absolutely amazing!!! Had the best time! Will definitely be going on another snorkel cruise with you guys in the future!

Amazing!!

Kaytlyn_R, May 2026
This is an amazing tour, I’ve been snorkeling with other charters and they don’t come close to this group. The people were so nice and funny while also being educational and fun. My whole family and I loved every second of it. The captain slowed down every time they saw turtles and dolphins and brought you to an amazing spot. The drinks were great and they kept them coming, my cup was never empty. I don’t normally leave reviews but this one deserves a 10/10 review

Perfect little snorkel trip

Corinne_S, May 2026
Great snorkel adventure, exactly what we were looking for. The crew was friendly, they gave a nice safety overview, and were super attentive with drinks after the snorkel. We saw a nurse shark, a beautiful large parrot fish (I think!) and some other beautiful fish during our time. Water was a little choppy, weather was perfect.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for the review, Corinne! We are so pleased you had a lovely day on the water. Our underwater world is a magical place, we are so glad you were able to enjoy it knowing our crew puts safety first! We look forward to taking you out to find more tropical creatures!

1st time snorkeling

Great way to start the day.

LeeAnn_L, Apr 2026
This crew knows how to make it fun. The morning snorkeling trip was well worth doing. I would do this again.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for the review, LeeAnn! We are so glad you enjoyed the Morning Snorkel! We hope you had a mimosa on the way back in! You are welcome back anytime!

The greatest experience snorkeling

Catherine_C, Apr 2026
To bring sun block, water proof camera, small lunch or snacks please bring some cash cuz the captain and crew work very hard to keep you safe make sure your glasses are full so they work very hard for their tips

Reef Snorkel Excursion

Kerry_C, Apr 2026
Great experience as a solo traveler. Staff were friendly and informative. Quick trip out to the reef. Easy swim and saw many different types of fish.

Not like pictures

GeirTore_S, Apr 2026
There was not many things to see. Almost no fish you had too stay 6-8 feet from the reev so you could rather swim any other place. And the crew was nagging for tips 4 times, and said that you should give 20$ pr.person and for a pre paid trip, with just some drinks served I did not like this.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello, GeirTore. We are very lucky that so many days here in Key West look exactly like the beautiful photos and videos you see on our website & other channels. Many days underwater visibility is 50+ feet and teeming with sea life; others are not. Though we hope that every day is perfect, conditions can be affected by wind, waves, clouds or rain. We are sorry to hear that the crew strayed from the standard tip speech. As Key West is a popular tourist destination, we welcome guests from all over the world, from a variety of backgrounds that may have differing tipping customs at home. That being said, a guide should never discuss a specific tip amount and we’d like you to know we’ve brought your comments to management. It is customary for guests to tip based on the level of customer service they received, however, guests should never feel pressured into doing so. We do hope to have the opportunity to have you back out with us again!

Would recommend.

Vanessa_O, Mar 2026
Boat ride was fun. Not many fish or turtles. It was pretty to swim in the open ocean with loved ones.

10/10 would do it again

Rachael_W, Mar 2026
Check in was smooth, crew was knowledgeable and entertaining, wished we had more time in the water though.

That was our third trip but first with this crew. We completely enjoyed with activity's. Crew was professional and responsive.

Fun, relaxing way to enjoy Key West waters.

Edward_A, Mar 2026
A great way to spend the morning/afternoon in experience the beauty of Key West water. Great crew, comfortable boat.

Had a blast snorkeling

JENNIFER_M, Mar 2026
We had a blast! The crew made us feel welcomed and were professional in training us on how to use equipment.

Great time in key west

k9frizb, Mar 2026
Had a great time with this crew. In fact, we all discussed how we would possibly improve it and couldn’t come up with anything significant. The captain and mates were amazing, personable, and efficient. They were definitely focused on safety and making absolutely sure nobody was left behind. The beer was cold and margaritas yummy too. Would do it again. We saw a shark, turtle, barracuda (maybe) and hundreds of bright colored fish.

Good experience!

Samhitha_J, Mar 2026
Great experience, even if you don’t want to snorkel. It was super fun and a good activity to enjoy the water.

Okay

Ashley_S, Mar 2026
Staff was awesome and the boat was super organized. The reef however was subpar. I never actually saw anything good.
