We had the BEST day out on the water with Captain Merv! He took his time to make sure we were able to see everything the island had to offer. Was an amazing host, great company, and just an all around amazing person! If you’re looking for a perfect Islamorada experience, with a a fun Captain, look no further!

Captain Merv gave us a great afternoon! We visited a sand bar, Indian Island and ended watching the sun set between 2 other Islands. Fantastic day. Highly recommend!

We wanted to snorkel and go to a sandbar and he knew just where to take us. I would highly recommend a trip with him. He is extremely knowledgeable of the area and its history. He also gave us great recommendations for places to dine. And of course it was spot on!
