Fantastic time on the Salt Dancer!
4 Hour – Sandbar/Snorkel (AM) on April 25, 20262 adults3 children

We took our 3 kids out for a 4 hour AM boat trip with Captain Scott and had a great time. We snorkeled, did some cruising, saw some sights, enjoyed a sand bar, and really enjoyed it! The kids (ages 4, 7, 10y) were comfortable on the boat, and Scott had life vests and water shoes for everyone. He also had a few coolers with ice, snorkel equipment, storage space for bags, and a trash receptacle. Scott took photos for us, found wildlife, had all kinds of fun facts to share, and was super knowledgable about the Keys. He even had a fresh water rinse to use after swimming! We will definitely book with Scott again next time we come to the FL Keys!

4 Hour – Snorkel/ Sandbar (PM) on December 1, 20254 adults1 child

We had an absolutely amazing time on our boat tour with Captain Scott! He went above and beyond for our family from start to finish. He took us to a beautiful sandbar, Pigeon Key, and guided us through the mangroves while sharing the history of the 7 Mile Bridge and local wildlife. What meant the most to us was how patient and accommodating he was with our youngest. It was her very first time snorkeling, and he made her feel safe, comfortable, and excited to try something new. He took photos for us, showed us some incredible spots, and even found a pod of dolphins. Truly an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Captain Scott!
