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!

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.

Debra_S

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!!

Das Segelboot war toll,...

Manuela_G, Mar 2026

Das Segelboot war toll, gear was broken, reef was dead. We saw one fish and one starfish. Crew was nice

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for the review! We are glad you enjoyed the trip and hope you come back again.

Very disappointing

Christopher_E, Mar 2026

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!

Exceeded expectations

Marie_H, Feb 2026

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! - Marie & Ryan

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you Marie & Ryan for the review! We are so glad to hear that you had a great time on the Snorkel trip. We hope to see you again soon.

The crew was awesome!

Ying_Z, Dec 2025

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!

Do not risk it get someone else to do it

Michael_K, Nov 2025

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.

Cap. Janet and Jarod were amazing. We really enjoyed our trip….

Gary_W, Oct 2025

Snorkeling

FrankJoan, Oct 2025

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!

Unforgettable Day on (and under) the Water

Pam_V, Sep 2025

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!

Small boat, nice crew. The water was rough and not much to see. Once back on the boat the ride was very nice with the sail up.

Need a new location

Valerie_K, Aug 2025

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

Response from Host, Aug 2025

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!

Great Excursion!

James_H, Aug 2025

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!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks for the review. We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the trip!

best ever

Adrianne_U, Aug 2025

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

Amazing Experience!

Lynette_O, Jul 2025

We had an amazing snorkeling trip with Captain Owen and Jared! The entire experience was top-notch from start to finish. We got to see a shark, a sea turtle, and even a dolphin—truly unforgettable! They brought us to a beautiful spot with clear water and tons of marine life. Captain Owen really knew his stuff when it came to snorkeling, and Jared was super friendly and helpful throughout. The views were gorgeous, the conversation was great, and the trip was the perfect length—not too short, not too long. Highly recommend this charter if you’re looking for a fun and memorable snorkeling adventure!

Awesome Snorkel

Carrie_W, Jun 2025

Great crew. Very attentive and had lots of knowledge. It was pretty rough when we went out, but we still managed to see nurse shark, rays, and an abundance of fish.
