Super knowledgeable captain
4 Hr – Islamorada Sandbar on August 3, 20265 adults2 children

Captain Aaron was absolutely fantastic! Our family of 7 (kids age 9-22) had an incredible snorkel and sandbar adventure, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. He knew exactly where to take us, and we got to see an amazing variety of marine life including a couple of sharks around Alligator Reef Light House. 🦈🐠🌊 Captain Aaron was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made the entire experience fun and relaxing for our family. The scenery, snorkeling, and wildlife were unforgettable! If you’re looking for an amazing day on the water in the Keys, I highly recommend Captain Aaron! We will absolutely book with him again!

Originally from Indiana, I moved to Islamorada in 2018 chasing warm sunshine & fishing dreams. Learning the ropes on head boats & private charters as a mate. Naturally, I took the next step of becoming a Captain & running my own charters. The amazing fishing, places, people, wildlife & beautiful waters make the keys my island paradise. I try to share those vibes with folks who join me on the boat. Any day out on the water is a day to be treasured.
