It was an awesome experience! The weather was a little windier than we had hoped for but our captain made it work! He suggested a couple spots to take us to based on his local knowledge that were incredible for snorkeling! We got to see lots of marine life including a sea turtle, eagle ray, lots of fish, and a manatee + baby manatee to top it off! We had a great time and would recommend again.
Captain Jim was wonderful-my family and I booked a 3-hour snorkel tour. Unfortunately a member of our party got seasick (through no fault of the captain-he was prone to seasickness) and we wanted to bring him back to shore-Captain Jim had no problem pivoting and bringing him back and then taking us on a dolphin/manatee search. He has incredible knowledge of the waters and wildlife in the area. Boat was incredibly clean and comfortable, would absolutely book again (for longer next time! And I won’t bring anyone who gets seasick)!
Thanks so much! that's funny!
We had a wonderful snorkel experience with Captain Jim! Our kids had so much fun that the first thing they asked when we got in the car was if we "could hang out with Captain Jim again tomorrow"! He took us to a great spot that wasn't crowded. Our kids were able to see a nurse shark, grunt, angle fish, grouper, sergeant major, stop light parrot, wrass, snapper, and more! We even had enough time to stop and get ice cream at the sandbar!
Thank you, I enjoyed very much having your family aboard!
Captain Jim customized our trip to what we wanted and used his 40 years of experience of the keys to beat are expectations. We went snorkeling at a great place with coral and lots of fish. Went to a great place for lunch . Partied at a sand bar.He found a family of dolphins which he got to follow are boat and jumped out of the water. Great day
Thank you for your review! It definitely was a great day on the water with you guys, hope to see you on your next trip!
Captain Butler lead our family on a very memorable snorkeling trip to offshore reefs which were teaming with sea life. We were able to view and photograph many of the local species of corals and reef fish including angels, tangs, parrots, nurse sharks, cowfish and puffers. The highlight was seeing a formation of 5 eagle rays.
thank you very much! eagle rays there again today!
