Captain Vaughn was amazing and so informative. The trip was not rushed and he took us to the most amazing spots. We will definitely be booking him again next time we are in Key West. We recommend anyone looking into this to do it you will not be disappointed.

Vaughn was so fun! He took lots of pictures for us and kept us hydrated with water. The paddle boards were so fun and the water mat was relaxing. It was a great day and we made a friend for life!

Great Time

This experience was a blast. We had no idea where to go or what to do but Vaugh did! He took us around to several sandbars and even helped us to paddle board. We had some people with us that were very afraid to go into the water and by the end they didn’t want to leave. Great music and he brought water for us to drink. We got there a little early and he was ready for us. It was a great time. I highly recommend booking this.

Best sandbar trip!!

A great day!

Vaugh did a great job! If you are looking for something to do that is a little different, definitely take a ride with him. He was super easy to work with. Very knowledgeable, fun to talk to. It was a great experience that we will definitely use him again.
