Great Day on the Water the Back Country
2 Hr – Eco Island Tour on May 28, 2026 • 2 adults

Just bought a house in Big Pine and I wanted a local guide to show us around our area. So glad we did this. Capt. Brian was great! Friendly, knowledgeable and took us to some cool spots around BPK. I recommend if you just want to get on the water and not in the water. He even took us down our canal so we could see our house. That was nice! Thanks Capt. Hope to use you again when the kids are down!

Great day on the water
4 Hr – Sandbar Tour on September 23, 2026 • 5 adults

Had a great day on the water with Capt. Brian. Quick tour of some back country, shallow wading and paddle boarding in crystal clear waters near Content Key, and then back out front for some snorkeling off of Cook Island.

Great boat ride
3 Hr – Looe Key Reef Snorkel Tour on March 27, 2026 • 5 adults

We took our family of five out for a snorkel adventure. Captain Brian took us to the looe reef and then a patch reef. He was flexible about planning our time and took excellent care of us. He even took great pictures to share!

Awesome boat trip
4 Hr – Sandbar Tour on August 3, 2025 • 3 adults

Last week, Captain Brian took us out for a four hour sandbar and snorkel tour. Once we took off, he gave us a little history of the area and we went straight to the backcountry where we saw some fish and got to enjoy being on the water. From there, we went to a beautiful sandbar lagoon where we got to see beautiful fish, swim and a pink spoonbill hanging out on the sandbar. After there, we headed over to the Oceanside, but before we even got there, we got to go through a huge pod of dolphins where we got the most amazing experience. They were swimming all around the boat and we got such amazing pictures and videos. After that, we got out to the Oceanside where he brought us to an amazing spot to snorkel, we saw tons of fish, all different sizes. The water was so clear and it was an all-around an amazing experience. Highly recommend.
