We had a great morning on the water with Captain Larry. He’s easygoing, personable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We never felt rushed, and he was fantastic with our family, including our three kids. When booking any charter, whether it’s fishing, snorkeling, or a sandbar trip, my top priority is finding the right captain, and Larry exceeded our expectations. He’s respectful, knowledgeable, and happy to share information about the area and the water if you’re interested, but he’s also great at reading the group and letting you relax, enjoy the scenery, and listen to some music if that’s more your style. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and stress-free day on the water.

Captain Larry could not have been more accommodating. He took us for a ride to the sandbar where we saw fish and a stingray. He then took us through the canals to look for manatees. Unfortunately didn’t see any manatees, but we did see two dolphins that swam right by our boat! We also saw a nurse shark! The weather wasn’t the best but Captain Larry paid great attention to where he brought us to make it a wonderful and relaxing ride!

When choosing a charter, Captain Larry had great reviews based upon the experience he provides, and he definitely delivered for our family.  We booked a two hour sunset cruise on the last evening of our Keys vacation, and mistakenly booked the wrong date (our travel day) - no problem, after arriving and realizing our mixup, Larry was willing and able to drop his plans and meet us within ten minutes, which says a lot!  We quickly got settled and were off for a quiet cruise through the back bay and channels following a Dolphin and checking out the sites.  We cruised the coast line to the 7 mile bridge then setup for sunset views.  The family was comfortable as was the service.  We cruised back in another route past the many now lit up sailboats and shoreline.  Payment was easy and we’d definitely book with Captain Larry again!

If you’re heading to the Florida Keys and not booking a day on the water with Living Like Larry, you’re doing it wrong.

We had an absolutely perfect afternoon, the kind you hope for but rarely get. Cruised out to a beautiful sandbar, found an incredible conch shell, spotted manatees up close, and just soaked in everything that makes the Keys special.

Larry knows these waters inside and out. No crowds, no stress. Just a laid-back, customized experience that felt like we had the Keys to ourselves. Exactly what you want on vacation.

If you’re looking for a private charter that delivers more than just a boat ride, this is it. Can’t recommend it enough. We’ll be booking again next time without hesitation.

P.S. Larry’s music selection was on point and really helped set the perfect vibe for the entire trip.

We had the best day with Larry today! This is our second year in a row with Larry out on the water in Marathon. He is beyond knowledgeable, super accommodating, and will do whatever he can to make sure you’re enjoying yourself. He is the nicest man and so easy to chat with. You can tell he genuinely loves his job and showing people a good time. We weren’t even out of the parking lot when we had already started talking about booking with Larry again next year again for our third trip with him. Thank you so much Larry for making our vacation even more special. We really appreciate you! 🐠☀️
