No frills, but all the fun and adventure

4 Hr Private Snorkel & Sandbar (PM)5 adults

We enjoyed our afternoon with Captain Merv. He was knowledgeable and took the time to tell us about the places we cruised by. It was a leisurely cruise out to the lighthouse to snorkel, and there were so many fish and a HUGE barracuda there. We cruised over to the Sandbar and ate snacks and sandwiches we brought. Then we returned to the marina through the mangroves - loved going all the way around Islamorada. THANK YOU! Make sure you hang your bags and towels, and secure your shoes - the waves can come across the boat a bit.

Response from Captain

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure having you aboard and spending the afternoon together. I’m glad you enjoyed the relaxed cruise out to the lighthouse, the snorkeling (that barracuda always makes an impression!), and some time at the sandbar. Cruising back through the mangroves and around Islamorada is one of my favorite ways to wrap up the day, so I’m happy to hear you loved that part too. Thank you as well for the helpful tips for future guests — great advice 😊 I really appreciate you choosing Nautical Tiki, and I hope to see you back on the water again soon. Safe travels and thanks again! — Captain Merv 🌴⚓

    Nautical Tiki Cruise

    3 Hr Private Charter & Sandbar (AM)2 adults

    A must do in Islamorada. Captain Merv gave us a great cruise of the entire area. He provided lots of information about the smaller surrounding Keys. And we had a fun time on the sandbar. We highly recommend Captain Merv and his very cool tiki hut boat.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you, Lisa! I love the early-morning charters — such a great way to start the day. Come again soon!
