3 Hr Private Charter & Sandbar (AM) on August 8, 20264 adults1 child

The only bad thing I have to say is that I should’ve booked the trip for longer! Captain Mervin was great! Kept us educated about where we were going, where we were at and things to do. Overall great experience very knowledgeable felt very comfortable and safe. after the excursion, it was great to be able to cool off in the pool. Everything was very clean very nice. Thank you for a great time and making it memorable!

No frills, but all the fun and adventure
4 Hr Private Snorkel & Sandbar (PM) on January 1, 20265 adults

We enjoyed our afternoon with Captain Merv. He was knowledgeable and took the time to tell us about the places we cruised by. It was a leisurely cruise out to the lighthouse to snorkel, and there were so many fish and a HUGE barracuda there. We cruised over to the Sandbar and ate snacks and sandwiches we brought. Then we returned to the marina through the mangroves - loved going all the way around Islamorada. THANK YOU! Make sure you hang your bags and towels, and secure your shoes - the waves can come across the boat a bit.

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure having you aboard and spending the afternoon together. I’m glad you enjoyed the relaxed cruise out to the lighthouse, the snorkeling (that barracuda always makes an impression!), and some time at the sandbar. Cruising back through the mangroves and around Islamorada is one of my favorite ways to wrap up the day, so I’m happy to hear you loved that part too. Thank you as well for the helpful tips for future guests — great advice 😊 I really appreciate you choosing Nautical Tiki, and I hope to see you back on the water again soon. Safe travels and thanks again! — Captain Merv 🌴⚓

Exactly what we needed!
3 Hr Private Charter & Sandbar (PM) on December 14, 20254 adults

Merv was a delight. Boat was clean and well appointed. We were a family doing a day trip to see the sights, visit the sandbar and see some manatees and dolphins. Merv delivered on all accounts and was conscious of both our family member prone to seasickness and our family member with limited mobility. 10/10 and would highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Katherine you guys were a great. Next time bring mom and the kids we’ll have a blast. Capt Merv
