3 Hr – Private Shelling Cayo Costa - 9:00 AM
Randi took myself, my daughter and my 3 year old granddaughter out to Cayo Costa for an afternoon of shelling and beach time. When deciding on which captain to book I read all of the reviews and decided Randi seemed like the perfect match for us. I was not disappointed, Randi was not only a very capable boat captain but very knowledgeable about the area. She even helped my granddaughter make a sandcastle! We highly recommend her and would use her services again. Thank you Randi for a perfect trip!

3 Hr – Cayo Costa Island Beach
Booked a few months in advanced- Captain Randi immediately reached out to confirm what we wanted to do! She was also extremely responsive to any questions we had leading up to the charter - including adding on people and questions for some nervous passengers! She was incredibly kind and understanding! Leading up to the charter the weather looked terrible - Randi communicated that she was looking and seeing when the ideal window was and we talked about alternative times and days! By some miracle the weather turned out perfectly - it’s was really windy so the first choice beach didn’t work but Randi always had a backup plan! She had fun stories about the local area and knew where the wildlife was! When we spotted dolphins she was able to get them to chase our boat and it was so cool! I absolutely recommend Captain Randi - you won’t regret it!
