Family time on the water!

Keith_B, Jun 2025

Best option for families with kids who want a more personal experience on the water for making memories. This was a private, affordable day and was the best day of our trip. Dan and Stephanie made the experience memorable, like we were spending the day with friends! Hope to go again next year! WORTH IT!

10/10 Highly Recommend

Sara_E, May 2025

Immediately 10/10 highly recommend!! I can’t even begin to explain how perfect this was. Captain Dan and Stephanie were amazing! They were informational, professional, and just all around cool people. We saw a seal, huge turtles, and a family of dolphins! The water was crystal clear so we were able to see the floor and all the beautiful fish underneath us with the snorkeling gear that they provided. They also provided waters, snacks, and towels which was so helpful. It was a perfect trip for me and my family.

Dolphins Galore!!

Simona_K, Mar 2025

Captain Dan & Stephanie were incredible. We saw tons of sea life including a huge pod of dolphins, a turtle and tons of fish! They treated us like family, including our two girls (10 &6) who had the best morning! Would HIGHLY recommend for family snorkeling and boat time. One of the highlights of our trip!
