Captain Stewy is fantastic. The entire experience was top notch - five star service. Stewy was attentive, knowledgable, hard working, prepared, and very kind. My entire family enjoyed the trip. We have a 10 year old and 6 year old - 6 year old is relatively new to snorkeling. Stewy did a fantastic job getting them prepared to have a blast. COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS MORE!!!!!!

Captain Stewy made the experience great!

Dean_K, Jan 2026
I am in my 70's and not a strong swimmer, and it was colder than average out on the reef. No matter, our guide was in the water helping me and my family group. I was very impressed with his knowledge, kindness and commitment to making this a memorable experience. This was a small group - just my wife and I plus three Gen-X family members. If that is what you have, you could not do better than this.

Amazing adventure!

Camila_N, Jan 2026
Captain Stewie is great! He provided a great afternoon snorkeling adventure for my family. I would recommend chartering with Cptn. Stewie every time you come to the Keys.

Excellent

Great snorkeling excursion with Captain Stewy!

June_P, Jun 2025
We had a great experience on our snorkeling excursion with Captain Stewy! He was very organized, knowledgeable, friendly and wonderful with our kids (8, 9). He offered to snorkel with us, which we really appreciated as he was able to show us some great spots and taught us about many of the fish and sea creatures we spotted. Highly recommend you book with him!

Awesome experience....

Simone_H, Apr 2025
Awesome experience. Captain Stewey was brilliant. Great boat and made everyone feel included, including my sea-fearing daughter.

Excellent time with family

Dan_S, Mar 2025
Captain Stewy was excellent. He was able to connect with members of the family with different skill levels and interests and to keep all safe and engaged. Group included teenagers to middle age.

Captain Stewy made us feel very safe and well looked after. We went to an excellent spot for snorkelling and had an unforgettable experience seeing so many beautiful fish.

A great excursion!

Susan_K, Aug 2024
We had a great time with Captain Stewy! He was very attentive to our group and guided us to two great spots for snorkling. He played great music while we zoomed to the snorkling area and was very entertaining throughout the trip. We would definitely book again with Captain Stewy!!!

Best Guided Private Snorkeling Experience!

Don_H, Jul 2024
We had a party of six and Captain Stewy took the time to get us comfortable with our snorkeling gear and safety considerations before setting out on the boat. The boat ride was exhilarating and we had a great snorkeling spot. We saw so many fish and even a nurse shark. Captain Stewy did a bit of diving to point out interesting coral and animals. We also got to explore on our own. I highly recommend this tour!! Thanks Captain Stewy!!!

5 Star and Amazing in every respect!

Pamela_G, Jul 2024
What a great trip! Captain Stewy is fantastic in every respect - experienced, professional, kind, patient and he knows the spots!! We had the best snorkel experience and we have snorkeled many spots around the world! We look forward to future trips with Stewy.

wonderful experience!

Xueting_H, Jul 2024
There was traffic on the way to Key Largo on July 4th, we delayed 1.5 hours, and the capital was very patient in waiting for us. It was a wonderful experience!

Perfect day!

Colleen_D, Jun 2024
The BEST! Captain Stewy was wonderful! We can’t wait to do it again! Our not so easily impressed teenagers loved their time on the water and snorkeling for the first time. It was a fantastic day for our family!

Awesome

cathy_t, May 2024
Had a great time with captain going out snorkeling. Saw amazing sting rays and schools of fish... loved that he sized our mask and snorkel on shore. The trip was perfect. Thanks

We had a great day!!!

Alejandro_B, Mar 2024
We had a great day!!! Easy way to see the statue. Amazing you of the landscape of the ocean. The trip was in time

The best day ever! 😁

Nicole_D, Aug 2023
Captain Stewie and Kristine we're fantastic! We made a last minute decision to change our snorkel destination and it was absolutely unbelievable. To describe it as a giant aquarium is an understatement. The reefs, corals, barracudas, and colorful large fish were incredible. I even spotted a large sleeping nurse shark. This experience was EXACTLY what I wanted. We will definitely go out with them again! In fact, I can't wait!

The Best Day!

Kam_S, Jul 2023
My family and I have taken several charters for snorkeling experiences over the years, and we absolutely loved this trip! We can honestly say we have never felt so taken care of on a charter!! Captain Stewy and Christine were so thoughtful with every detail from start to finish. It was seamless and soooo much fun. They were also safety conscience, and took the initiative to reschedule our time to a better day so we would have the best experience possible. AMAZING! We will definitely be back!

It was great! My girls...

Rosario_P, Jul 2023
It was great! My girls had a good time. We look forward to do the same a different time .boat was clean and the music amazing .

Fun!

William_L, Mar 2023
My teenage daughter that is difficult to impress said it was the coolest thing she ever has done. Christine and Stewy were awesome hosts.

Great trip

Elise_G, Mar 2023
Stewy and Kristine were lovely. My son saw some very cool fish. My daughter was pretty nervous but they did what they could to put her at ease.

Family snorkeling trip

Boruch_Z, Feb 2023
Captain stewy and his first mate were fantastic . He knew all the places to see the most diverse coral and sea life. You don’t have to be a strong swimmer to have an amazing time. The equipment and boat were spotless .highly recommended

Great experience

Brad_S, Feb 2022
We booked a snorkel trip with Captain Stewys Charters during a stretch of bad weather in January 2022. Their communication prior to the trip was excellent as the start time had to change due to cooler temps and wind. The boat and snorkeling equipment were all clean and top-notch, and we appreciated the time and effort they made to ensure that we were safely prepared for the trip. We were ultimately prevented from snorkeling due to unexpected changes in the weather, but Captain Stewys was very accommodating to provide us with an impromptu boat tour thru the mangroves and offered us a full refund which we very much appreciated. Looking forward to our next visit to Keys and chartering a trip with Captain Stewys!

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hello Brad. Thank you for joining us and we are so pleased that we were able to accommodate your family for a great experience despite the poor sea conditions. We certainly hope to see you again when you make it back to the Keys as we would love to host a guided exploration of the reef. Until then, Captain Stewy & First Mate Kristine

An excellent choice for private charter, very accommodating!

Justin_V, Jan 2022
I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to go snorkeling in key largo, especially if you have little to no experience snorkeling or being in the ocean. Captain Stewy and his wife are genuinely compassionate people. It is obvious that they host these charters because they truly enjoy being able to show the magic of the ocean to anyone interested. Both have great communication skills and made sure everyone was as comfortable as possible the entire trip. It was truly a unique experience and I believe having this private charter vs. one of the many large group charters offered in the area made a significant difference in the quality of the experience. Thank you Captain Stewy’s Charters for a great time.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Justin, we feel so fortunate that we were able to truly convey our passion of the sea with you. Having the unique opportunity to share this incredible part of our planet with others is something we certainly don't take for granted and it's people like you that make it very rewarding. Thank you ! Captain Stewy and First Mate Kristine

Awesome snorkeling trip

Kenneth_B, Jan 2022
Value We booked a snorkeling trip with Captain Stewy for 5 of us. He and Christine were fantastic. They are friendly and welcoming, very professional, and fun to be with. They were COVID conscious and made sure all felt safe. The boat is beautiful, in great shape, and can really move. Capt. Stewy knew just where to take us for an amazing snorkeling experience. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Ken as you know, the tourism industry is a very competitive market here in Key Largo and being a new company, we certainly appreciate you considering Captain Stewy's Charters for your family's snorkeling trip. We had a blast with y'all and hope to see you again soon! Best, Captain Stewy and First Mate Kristine

Fantastic family bonding!!

Elyse_L, Dec 2021
Amazing for families with beginners to snorkeling! They were patient and helpful, especially with my young daughter who was scared mid way through. Captain And First Lady really took their time to be sure we felt safe while ensuring my teenagers had a thrilling experience as well! They thought of everything including providing towels and snacks to us after the trip out to the reef!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Thank you Elyse for allowing us to partner with you in escorting your precious cargo. Their exposure to the 3rd largest barrier reef in the world and observing its incredible ecosystem will promote curiosity and self-confidence. Give our best to Lucy.....a life-changing day for sure. Happy New Year, Captain Stewy and First Mate Kristine

Excellent snorkeling on a private boat

Heather_M, Dec 2021
Great snorkeling experience and would highly recommend captain Stewy & first mate Kristine. Captain Stewy will come in the water with you snorkeling.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Thank you, Heather, for partnering with us in sharing a new experience with your kids. Only time will tell how this experience of the ocean, the reef and all of its incredible intricacies will shape their future. We hope to see you again when your family makes it back to the Keys. Happy New Year! Captain Stewy and Crew
