4 Hr Private Snorkel & Sandbar (PM)
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.

We had the BEST day out on the water with Captain Merv! He took his time to make sure we were able to see everything the island had to offer. Was an amazing host, great company, and just an all around amazing person! If you’re looking for a perfect Islamorada experience, with a a fun Captain, look no further!

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!

A must do in Islamorada. Captain Merv gave us a great cruise of the entire area. He provided lots of information about the smaller surrounding Keys. And we had a fun time on the sandbar. We highly recommend Captain Merv and his very cool tiki hut boat.
