Amazing 2 Hour Sunset Cruise
Perfect Sunset Cruise
When choosing a charter, Captain Larry had great reviews based upon the experience he provides, and he definitely delivered for our family. We booked a two hour sunset cruise on the last evening of our Keys vacation, and mistakenly booked the wrong date (our travel day) - no problem, after arriving and realizing our mixup, Larry was willing and able to drop his plans and meet us within ten minutes, which says a lot! We quickly got settled and were off for a quiet cruise through the back bay and channels following a Dolphin and checking out the sites. We cruised the coast line to the 7 mile bridge then setup for sunset views. The family was comfortable as was the service. We cruised back in another route past the many now lit up sailboats and shoreline. Payment was easy and we’d definitely book with Captain Larry again!

Sandbar Finds, Manatees & an Unforgettable Charter
If you’re heading to the Florida Keys and not booking a day on the water with Living Like Larry, you’re doing it wrong. We had an absolutely perfect afternoon, the kind you hope for but rarely get. Cruised out to a beautiful sandbar, found an incredible conch shell, spotted manatees up close, and just soaked in everything that makes the Keys special. Larry knows these waters inside and out. No crowds, no stress. Just a laid-back, customized experience that felt like we had the Keys to ourselves. Exactly what you want on vacation. If you’re looking for a private charter that delivers more than just a boat ride, this is it. Can’t recommend it enough. We’ll be booking again next time without hesitation. P.S. Larry’s music selection was on point and really helped set the perfect vibe for the entire trip.

Captain Larry is THE BEST!
We had the best day with Larry today! This is our second year in a row with Larry out on the water in Marathon. He is beyond knowledgeable, super accommodating, and will do whatever he can to make sure you’re enjoying yourself. He is the nicest man and so easy to chat with. You can tell he genuinely loves his job and showing people a good time. We weren’t even out of the parking lot when we had already started talking about booking with Larry again next year again for our third trip with him. Thank you so much Larry for making our vacation even more special. We really appreciate you! 🐠☀️

Amazing trip!!
The day trip with Living Like Larry was perfection! Larry was extremely responsive in advance of the trip via text and the app. All worries melted away as we started cruising towards the sand bar for snorkeling. The best part - two manatee showed up only a few feet from us in the water! We cruised through the sights of Marathon from the water which gave us a completely different perspective. Gorgeous blue skies puffy clouds and we loved every minute of the trip. Would definitely book with Larry again!

Great Day on the Water with Captain Larry
We booked this trip hoping to see some wildlife, but unfortunately it was too cold for them to be out. Captain Larry was super accommodating about the change in plans and took us to a sandbar instead where we had a great time. He was incredibly friendly throughout the whole experience and made sure we still had an enjoyable day despite the weather not cooperating for manatee viewing. Would definitely recommend Captain Larry for anyone looking for a relaxed, fun day on the water with a captain who genuinely cares about his guests having a good time.
