Great trip to charter, awesome Captain and very comfortable boat!
It's hot, but not as crowded as other times of year. The water and place is basically beautiful though.
- 5.0/5(6 Hr – Multi Activity)
MUST DO ADVENTURE!!
Take the boat trip! My husband expected more beaches down in the keys but that’s not really the case! Taking the boat out was so much more fun and worth the investment and time!
- 5.0/5(2 Hour Private Charter (Afternoon))
Just what we wanted!
We purposefully avoided the party areas, and were taken to a quiet spot where we could just swim and snorkel. If you know what you want to do, and ask the captain for recommendations, they do a great job finding the perfect spot.
- 5.0/5(Private Snorkel Charter (4hr / PM))
Experienced and Family Friendly!!
Book with Captain Matt!!!! He is experienced and knows the best places to go as well as the rules and regulations. Great time for our family, ages 10, 11, 14, 17, 43 and 47!!
- 4.0/5(4 Hour – Boating Adventure)
it was a good time!
Bring everything you need including food, anti-nausea medicine, and plenty if water.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour – Sandbar Trip)
Awesome family snorkeling adventure
The Captain is highly focused on safety and communication. Listen to his briefing details on safety, boat features, and most of all where you want to go and what you want to see. And don't forget sunscreen!! Have an awesome time.

Fathers Day Sandbar Celebration
Known for their water but not the beaches you would think. Be prepared for the iguanas on dry land
- 5.0/5(Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM))
Amazing day trip out of Islamorada
Make sure you are using reef safe sunscreen, stay hydrated, water is very clear but there will likely be seaweed/sargassum floating on top of the water, which doesn’t stink in the water, just swim around it.
- 5.0/5(Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM))
Captain Matt was great!
Yes, charter had it all—just show up and enjoy the beauty of the Keys. Captain Matt did a great job.
- 5.0/5(3 Hr – Afternoon Sandbar & Snorkel)
Sandbar Trip

- 5.0/5(2 Hour Trip – Private Snorkel)
Perfect Snorkeling Morning
The weather was perfect. Sunny skies, no wind, and the water temperature was comfortable.
- 5.0/5(2 Hour Private Charter (Afternoon))
Private charter- snorkel & sightseeing
Highly recommend going on at least one excursion! Even a short snorkel trip is well worth it!!
- 5.0/5(2 Hour Private Boat Tour MIDDAY)
Excellent trip
Early April may be windy, which can impact tours, you may want to wait until you get here to book, because the forecast is rarely accurate more than a day in advance. Sightseeing/sand bar trips are likely less impacted than snorkeling/fishing trips.
- 5.0/5(Private Snorkel Charter (4hr /AM))
Family fun fishing!
This was an absolute fantastic time! Captain Eddie went above and beyond, and I cannot thank him enough!
- 5.0/5(3 Hour – Sandbar Trip)

We had rough winds but that wasn’t typical. Chris found a great spot for us to have some fun! Can’t wait to get back.
- 5.0/5(3 Hr – Beach & Shelling Excursions)
good famiiy activity
Don’t expect a high-energy excursion, but rather a slower relaxing journey where you can enjoy the surroundings in a peaceful and quiet setting
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Trip – Snorkeling)
Pablo is an A+ Captain
Go with a guide. They can effortlessly suggest where to go and what you have time for based on our goals for the trip.
- 5.0/5(4 Hour Private Shelling Tour)
well worth it
Bring a jacket for morning tours.Buy a good pair of water shoes, there's an awful lot of shells you'll be walking on at some beaches.
How people rated boat trips in Everglades
5.0/5(3 Hr – Morning Sandbar & Snorkel)Great group excursion
We had such a great time with Captain Dave! He was prepared with sunchill chairs, an icechest cooler, a floating lily pad, and trash can to make our sandbar trip perfect! The boat was very spacious with extremely comfortable seating for our group of 4. The company was amazing at communication with the variable keys weather. DEFINITELY BOOK THIS CHARTER!!
5.0/5(Special 2 hour trip for James Et Smith)Accommodating, punctual and great communication.
Capt Kevin was willing to build a trip for the two us to include a boat tour of the area and an attempt to catch the sunset. Showed us some places only visible by water and gave some backstory. A quick stop at an island to cool off too. Was conversational but not intrusive. Boat was comfortable, nicely maintained for a salt environment and perfect for our needs. Highly recommend.
5.0/5(2 Hr - Afternoon Sandbar & Snorkel)Great day!

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.
5.0/5(3 Hr Private Charter & Sandbar (AM))Definitely a must do again!
