    Outstanding Boating!

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 2 adults

    Vaughn was an outstanding guide; both personable and incredibly knowledgeable about Key West’s history. He took us to a variety of secluded islands and beautiful mangroves within the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, making the experience feel unique and off the beaten path. He also went above and beyond by providing a cooler, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect day on the water. Highly recommend!

    Great day on the water!

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 4 adults

    My family thoroughly enjoyed our day on the water with Captain Vaughn! It was fun to hear his tales of growing up in Key West and some history of the area. He knew all the great sandbars and we felt very safe with him in charge! We would definitely book again!

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 4 adults

    Vaughn was a great guide. Loved the day. We met him at his boat and took a totally different route out to the water than we expected (which was so cool!) He was a great guide, both knowledgeable and caring. Def would do again!!!

    Amazing time!

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 3 adults

    Captain Van was great. He was on time and easy to communicate with. I loved being able to have safe parking at no cost. Parking has been a bit of an issue in Key West. He knew all the best spots and had paddle boards and snorkels for us to use included. He had a chest full of ice and took photos. Overall this trip was 10 out of 10.
