Completely disorganized. I didn't feel safe.

cdkturbo, May 2026

We booked this Viator charter expecting a premium experience given the more than $3,000 for a not even 8 hours trip, but unfortunately the operation was very disorganized from the beginning. Before the trip, SeaEO Luxury Boat Charters sent incorrect pickup information directing us to a marina in Tampa — hundreds of miles away from Key West. Thankfully, we noticed the mistake and contacted the company to clarify it before the trip. On the day of the charter, nobody showed up, and we were unable to reach the at SeaEO Luxury Boat for quite some time. We were left waiting at the dock for hours with little communication and a lot of uncertainty. To Viator’s credit, their support team stepped in and helped coordinate a replacement captain so the trip could eventually happen. Once underway, the captain did a good job and we still managed to enjoy part of the experience. That said, the overall experience fell well below expectations for a luxury charter at this price level. While the boat itself wasn’t bad, it certainly didn’t feel “luxury” as advertised and appeared somewhat older and worn than expected. The biggest issue, however, was the lack of organization, communication, and professionalism throughout the process. I’m still hoping SeaEO Luxury Boat Charters will offer a fair partial refund or some form of compensation.

Wonderful trip !

Julie_V, May 2026

The trip from Key West to Dry Tortugas was wonderful – had a rocky return trip, but the SeaEO Captain was fantastic. We were confused about the payments with SeaEO. We were charged on the card before the trip and immediately had a partial credit issued ($800). Assumed that was for fuel, which would be an unknown until after the trip. Then we were reminded to pay the captain on site the day of the trip ($800) – in cash, Venmo, Zelle, which was the credit amount that had been issued. Hmmm… then after the trip there was a final charge of $800. Was that the final fuel charge? Who knows? Amazing that fuel cost was an exact amount which also matched the initial credit. This was all very confusing and not clearly explained by Viator.

This was about a 2.5 hour...

This was about a 2.5 hour ride one way out to Dry Tortogus. We had a windy day and water was rough but we had breath taking views. The fort is absolutely worth going out to see. We also went to Logerhead island and did some snorkeling. It was a fantastic experience. We highly recommend it. Well worth the trip out and back.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Hi Carol! Thanks so much for choosing our private luxury boat charter—we’re thrilled you enjoyed the Dry Tortugas out of Key West, even with the wind and rougher water. Fort Jefferson is absolutely worth the run, and we love hearing Loggerhead Key snorkeling was a highlight. It means a lot that our boat rental delivered a fantastic day trip. We’d love to welcome you back for another private tour—maybe a Key West sunset cruise next time!
