Absolutely AMAZING experience with Captain Michelle!
Peanut Island: Snorkel & Float on August 24, 20262 adults3 children

Captain Michelle was absolutely wonderful from start to finish! She took us snorkeling at Peanut Island, and the entire experience was incredible. She was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. What really stood out to me was how amazing she was with my kids. She didn’t just take us out on the water—she genuinely helped me with the kids and made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable for me. That meant more to me than she probably realized! The snorkeling was beautiful, the whole trip was so much fun, and Captain Michelle went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and wants everyone to have the best time possible. If you’re considering booking a snorkeling trip, book with Captain Michelle! We would absolutely do this again. 💙🐠🌊

Michelle

Perfect Day
Peanut Island: Snorkel & Float on July 14, 20262 adults

Captain Michelle is the best! hands down. My boyfriend and I chartered the boat to spread the ashes of family members. Ive never done anything like that before and Michelle guided us and made our experience beautiful and peaceful. It could’ve been awkward sharing such a solemn moment with a person you just met. But not with Michelle, she couldnt have been more compassionate and genuine with us. And all the while traveling safely in her immaculately maintained boat. We anchored off of Peanut Island after and she set us up with snorkeling gear. We were new to it & she didnt leave our side til we were absolutely comfortable & showed us the best places to see the most beautiful fish and float around in the waters. We had a great time I dont think our day with Michelle could’ve gone any better. She is knowlegable, organized, safety concious, and an awesome person. The day was perfect and the company couldnt have been better. We love Captain Michelle & recommend taking a cruise with her 1000% I can’t wait to book another trip with her. Thank you for sharing the day and helping to honor my family members. We will never forget the beautiful memories that you helped create🌺

Thank You, Captain Michelle, for a Perfect Farewell
Sunset Cruise + Cheese Platter on July 13, 20265 adults

Captain Michelle made what could have been a very emotional day into a truly beautiful and peaceful experience. She took our family out to release the ashes of my 90-year-old grandmother, who loved Florida, and everything was handled with such kindness, compassion, and professionalism. She gave us all the time we needed, never made us feel rushed, and chose a perfect, peaceful spot for the ceremony. The boat was clean and comfortable, and Captain Michelle’s calm, caring presence made a difficult day feel incredibly special. Our family will always remember this experience with gratitude. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with a meaningful moment, I cannot recommend Captain Michelle highly enough. Thank you for helping us give my grandmother such a beautiful farewell.

Response from Captain

I couldn’t be more honored to have helped make this moment so special for you all. ❤️ Thank you for the amazing review, Windy. Sending you all the best and I hope to host you on the water again when you visit South Florida! Sincerely, Capt. Michelle

Girl power on the water
Day Cruise: Mansions & Mar-a-Lago on July 12, 20262 adults1 child

We had an absolutely amazing time on the water with Captain Michelle! From the moment we stepped aboard, she made us feel welcome, relaxed, and excited for the adventure ahead. She was warm, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. One of the highlights of our trip was that Captain Michelle brought fishing poles and bait so we could fish, which was such a thoughtful touch. She spent time helping both me and my 7-year-old daughter, making sure we were comfortable, knew what to do, and had fun the entire time. Her patience and kindness with my daughter made the experience even more special, and it's something we'll both remember forever. The scenery was beautiful, the ride was relaxing, and it was obvious that Captain Michelle genuinely loves what she does. Her attention to detail, friendly personality, and willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. If you're looking for a fun, family-friendly, and memorable day on the water, I can't recommend Captain Michelle enough. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can't wait to book another trip with her!

Queen of the water!
5 hour - Mansions + Snorkel + Sandbar on July 10, 20265 adults

Michelle was an absolute angel and made our trip extraordinary. A group of five of us went on a bachelorette boat trip, and she made us feel so comfortable from the moment we stepped on board. Her boat was immaculate- spotlessly clean, spacious, and incredibly well maintained. She thought of absolutely everything, from an underwater phone pouch and snorkel gear to a phone mount for capturing amazing photos and videos, plus a SunChill float to relax on in the water. It was those little touches that made the experience feel so special. She took photos of us throughout the day and had the best bach playlist! We’ve been on a lot of boat tours with captains, and Michelle is by far one of the best. The way she handled and maneuvered the boat was incredibly impressive, you could tell she was extremely experienced and confident. We felt safe the entire time while still having an absolute blast. She was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, especially for a bachelorette, girls’ trip, or any special occasion, book with Michelle. You won’t regret it!
