What people said about boating in Upper Keys
- 4.7/5(6 Hour – Multi-Activity 1-6 Guests)
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.
- 5.0/5(6 Hour – Islamorada Adventure)
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
Definitely go to the sandbar, and on the way home stop by Robbies and feed the Tarpon and have a delicious Margarita!
- 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)
Great trip! Can’t wait to go again.
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(4 Hour Private Tour (Afternoon))
Awesome Experience
This company was awesome and easy to work with! Atlantis our captain was knowledgable and made a great day for us!
- 5.0/5(2 Hour – Sunset Cruise)
You WON'T be disappointed!
It was the absolute best time! The captain and his wonderful wife where extremely accommodating, we plan to come back and take advantage of the 5day cruise next. Can't wait to go snorkeling. Highly recommend taking a trip with captains Kenny and Monica
- 4.0/5(4 Hour – Boating Adventure)
Beautiful Boat!!
Discuss what you wanna do ahead of time to not create any false expectations!

Perfect morning on the water for our family! Great music and vibes. Captain Dawid was very accomodating, knew the area well and had all the equipment needed including a football for my teenage boys. Would highly recommend!
5.0/5(3 Hour – Snorkeling Trip)Outstanding Trip
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.
5.0/5(3 Hr Private Charter & Sandbar (AM))Definitely a must do again!
The only bad thing I have to say is that I should’ve booked the trip for longer! Captain Mervin was great! Kept us educated about where we were going, where we were at and things to do. Overall great experience very knowledgeable felt very comfortable and safe. after the excursion, it was great to be able to cool off in the pool. Everything was very clean very nice. Thank you for a great time and making it memorable!
