We had such a great day out on the water! They were so friendly and easy to work with. The snorkeling was amazing, we saw so many different types of fish. We did get out of the water a little early because my daughter was cold. He offered to take us through the Mangroves with the extra time which we really appreciated. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend!

The Perfect Afternoon

The perfect snorkeling trip

Amanda_S, Nov 2025

The perfect snorkeling experience!! Captain Bob was fantastic. He gave us a choice of where we wanted to go based on what we wanted to see. The reef was gorgeous and we even had it all to ourselves!! Highly recommend!!

Thank you!! I always try to make the best experience for all my guests, including what is important to them to see. Capt. Bob

Ok-snorkeling tour with...

Laura_K, Jul 2025

Ok-snorkeling tour with private boat. Idk if our captain Bob was having a bad day or if he was just tired, but he seemed a bit annoyed. Polite and smiling but not so good vibe so nothing special there. The snorkeling-part itself was amazing with so many different kinds of fish.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

I'm glad to you had a great time snorkeling! Unfortunately, I was dealing with a pinched sciatic nerve that caused me a lot of pain. As a small business owner, I always strive to ensure that my guests have the best snorkeling experience possible. Instead of canceling, I chose to push through my discomfort because I understand how important this experience can be. However, in this case, I realize it would have been better to cancel.

Great Snorkel Option in Key Largo

Don_O, Mar 2025

Had a brilliant time snorkelling! Captain Bob was great, took us to a less busy part of the reef and explained where to go and what we would see. Fitted us all with snorkel equipment and provided soft drinks and snacks for afterwards. Would definitely recommend.

Private snorkel trip with family

AmandaPrince_P, Jul 2024

We had a great time snorkeling. It was so much nicer having a private boat for my family than being on one of the larger snorkel cruises with a ton of people. The captain was great. The ship was super clean and very nice. We had a great time!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed your private snorkel tour and had a great time on the boat with the Captain!

My 13 and 11 year old daughters were new to snorkeling and now they can't wait to go again. The ride to the reef was amazing and seeing the beautiful coral and all of the fish made for a memorable day.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you, Melissa I'm glad you and your girls had a great snorkeling experience and that they are looking forward to going again. Capt. Bob

Making amazing family memories with Captain Bob

Jason_r, May 2024

Captain Bob is absolutely wonderful. You do not need to be an experienced snorkeler to have an amazing experience. He told us some history, shared his knowledge about the island, and made us feel safe and comfortable. If you’re looking for a family outing, go with Captain Bob.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you, Jason, It's great to hear you and your family had a great snorkeling experience. Thanks again for choosing Snorkel the Keys! Capt. Bob

Great snorkeling experience with Bob! We had exactly the right amount of time to snorkel, and it was lovely to take it all at our family’s own pace. We were 2 adults + 2 young teens. Saw amazing array of fish. Highlight of our trip!

Can't wait to snorkel again!

Heather_K, Jun 2022

Captain Bob was a great guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Our family had a great boat ride to the Grecian Reef, enjoyed snorkeling the reef, and the hospitality on the ride back (drinks and snacks) was very welcomed! My seven year old was a bit apprehensive, but once he got the hang of the snorkel and mask, he decided he couldn't wait to go again in the future! Great experience!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you, Heather I'm glad you and your family had a great snorkel adventure and enjoyed the overall experience. Capt. Bob

Great experience

Tamara_W, Jun 2022

Captain Bob runs a tight ship, which is nice and clean. Great experience and worth the extra money. The camera he let's you use takes really good pictures too.

Experience can’t be beat

Ivy_S, Aug 2021

Captain Bob was an awesome guide. Not only was the boat spotless and beautiful, he was so flexible and helpful— called the day before because conditions didn’t look great. Worked with me to arrange something else, even better than planned. So great with my kids too!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you, I'm glad that you and your family had a great experience even though we needed to change things up due to the weather. Capt. Bob

Great Snorkeling Trip

Susan_T, Aug 2021

Thank you Captain Bob for the great snorkeling trip. We had a great time. The boat was super clean. Capt. Bob did a great job explaining everything to us, snorkeling newbies. We will be back.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you! I'm glad you had a great time on your first snorkeling experience looking forward to seeing you again. Capt. Bob

Amazing experience I would do again!!

Tosha_H, Apr 2021

This was amazing! Dr. Bob was so patient and helpful to my family. My youngest son, 7 freaked out and wanted to get back on boat and he let my son sit with him and even gave him fish cards to look at that he loved. He took many pics for us and sent it to us same day. Priced snacks and cold drinks and sunscreen free of charge! Very reasonably priced and great trip for my family of 6 to have this experience with just us. We saw amazing fish, a shark and even a group of manatees. 😊 He let us stay out longer also, we arrived at 1 (30min before) and the trip was supposed to be 2.5 hrs but we didn’t get back to doc until 430 Would go back for sure!

Response from Host, Apr 2021

Thank you, Tosha I'm glad you and your family had a great time! Capt. Bob

Snorkel the Keys was a great time!

MelissaFrancis, Apr 2021

Captain Bob is great. The boat is beautiful and cover by a Bimini top so you won’t get roasted. He has water, soda and snacks and all the equipment was clean and in pristine condition. We went had great instruction. He is very experienced. I highly recommend Snorkel the Keys. Bonus... he provides an underwater camera and sends you a link to all the pics.

Response from Host, Apr 2021

Thank you! I'm glad you had a great snorkel adventure it's always fantastic to hear you liked the boat, equipment, and amenities included with the tour. Capt. Bob

Wonderful snorkel trip. We highly recommend it!!!!

Brian_L, Mar 2021

We had an amazing experience with Captain Bob and the reef. He was knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we felt safe and informed. His boat was well kept and it was nice listening to music to and from reef. He had lots of information like fish cards and on our way back to the marina we saw a pod of dolphins who came right up to the boat! There was probably 9-12 of them but they were too fun and cute to count! The boat was great and he kept us hydrated with lots of options and snacks. We would highly recommend this private tour and we appreciated not having long lines and sharing a large boat with many others It was literally just the (4) of our family and Captain Bob. He provided all the gear we could need including wet suits (if desired) snorkel gear, flippers. He went above and beyond and provided a water proof GO PRO and took lots of pictures for us and provided amazing opportunity for me to capture pictures and video on his go pro while we were in the water. He must work non-stop because he had the pictures and video uploaded to us via Flickr that very evening. So grateful and appreciative as we have many highlights from our trip but this is definitely in the top!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2021

Hi Brian, I'm so glad you had a great time I'm always happy to hear that guests enjoy their snorkel adventure with the service and extra amenities that are provided. Thanks for choosing Snorkel the Keys!! Capt. Bob

Comfortable and fun snorkel tour!

Emily_R, Dec 2020

Captain Bob was friendly and professional! He did a wonderful job of explaining everything on the boat, the snorkeling process and what to expect for the day. He took lots of pictures and allowed us to use his underwater camera - he sent the photos at the end of the day. He had everything we needed to make the experience a success, including wet suits so we would stay warm in the cooler waters. He also was very patient with us as we brought along our 14mo son and took turns snorkeling. We highly recommend and hope to take another tour with Captain Bob in the future!
