Perfect Outing

3 Hour – Snorkeling Trip on April 17, 2026 • 6 adults

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)!

Family Fun

3 Hour – Snorkeling Trip on June 19, 2026 • 2 adults • 3 children

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!

Great afternoon

3 Hour – Snorkeling Trip on February 12, 2026 • 6 adults

Very clean and comfortable boat. Captain Jim was great and amended the outing to our preferences. We went to a great snorkelling spot and saw lots of sea turtles! The snorkelling gear was provided - it was very clean and well taken care of. You really do need to get out on the water to experience the best part of the Florida Keys - crystal clear water and a gorgeous day - one of the favourite days of the vacation!

Friendly captain. Clean boat

Sunset cruise, departure time varie on February 21, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Jim was super.  Very professional, caring and friendly.  Made sure to ask what we wanted from the trip.  His boat is pristine.  Ours was the sunset cruise.  As I am not a natural "boater" I needed the boat flat and slow.  He did a wonderful job making me comfortable.  My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride.  The sunset was gorgeous!  Thanks Captain Jim!  Judy and Jim
