My wife and I wanted a private snorkeling trip to find some tortoises. Donald really delivered and we had a wonderful time.
We booked our charter and as the day got closer we saw that it was supposed to be super windy. We booked the boat in priority order of snorkeling, sand bar and eco tour. Don reached out to us letting us know that because snorkeling was our 1st priority and it was super windy we wouldn’t be able to go out to the coral reef and we could cancel the trip if we wanted to. We had a great conversation with him on the expectations of the day. He managed to take us out on an amazing Eco tour, snorkeling in the bay and the sand bar. I am so happy we did NOT cancel this trip as it was absolutely amazing! His boat was great and we didn’t get sea sick at all!! I would highly recommended this charter and be open and honest with Don on what you are looking to do and you will not be disappointed!!
Captain Don greeted us with a Manatee was in distress in the harbor and ask if we would Like to help locate it. This was the first indication we had selected the right charter, plus we would be with a caring captain ready to help. We did locate the manatee and help get the kayaker’s from the dock to manatee. Such a unique experience and then we off on our snorkeling adventure. Don knew exactly where to take us and gave us 2 incredible spots to drop in and snorkel. My wife even saw a Bonnet Shark. Very nice, clean, comfortable boat. Dry storage and plenty of ice and water for our goodies. Great snorkeling equipment, and an amazing, caring, knowledgeable Captain! Overall Amazing and very Unique Experience! Thank You again Don for a memorable charter!! 👊
We did the 3 hour tour with our kids (9 and 12 yo) with Captain Don. Don was great with being flexible and making sure we got to do all the activities we wanted to in our time slot. My kids chose snorkeling and sandbar. We did not go to Alligator reef (as planned) that day, because it was too windy. However Cap. Don has a nice little alternative spot to go. We saw a few cool fish (lots of parrot fish and even a barracuda)and my kids loved it. He proceeded to the Islamorada sandbar for the remainder of the trip. Don was very organized and had all the floats, pool noodles, snorkel gear aboard which made the trip very easy and fun! He also had a dry box for all our towels and bags, and a huge cooler with ice for our food and drinks. Overall the experience was wonderful and we had a lot of fun, just wish the weather cooperated a little better for snorkeling. The only thing to note is BB doesn’t charge you for the tax on you will have to pay the balance at the charter. Wish I would have known or been notified beforehand.
The captain and mate took our family to 2 areas to snorkel: alligator reef & the donut. We saw SO MANY different fish, sting rays, nurse sharks (don’t worry they stayed far away) and sea turtles! He walked us through snorkel gear and tips and tricks for the best experience. Don & Noah were fun and professional and knew exactly where to go and what to do. Highly recommend for a half day while in the Keys!
Captain Don took my family out for some incredible snorkeling and a visit to the sand bar. We all had an amazing time! The snorkeling was fantastic…it was my boys’ first time and they loved every minute of it. Captain Don was extremely accommodating, easy going and FUN! He ensured we all had a great time and we couldn’t be more appreciative of this fabulous experience. Book your trip today, you won’t be disappointed!
