Captain Matt was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. We have been snorkeling many places in the past, this was the best hands down. Matt also shared info about the local ecosystem which was cool. I would book Matt, and this trip again in a heartbeat.

Zach, thank you for the kind words on your review the blue blue water and the beautiful lighthouse made having fun easy. I just had to get you out there and back. Glad you guys came out with us. Can’t wait to see you down here again. You can go right here through the Boat Booker portal and get another ship. Set up anytime you like. Thank you again Capt. Matt Bellinger

We had the best day with Captain Matt! He took us snorkeling at Alligator Reef where we saw so many fish in crystal clear water. On our way back we found some dolphins and Matt git them to swim with our boat! It was the perfect in the keys!

Katie the Dolphins surfing our wake was amazing as always and I am glad it happened at the end of the adventure as it’s a hard act to beat! Alligator Light is always a crowd pleaser and I’m glad y’all enjoyed it. Capt Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters Islamorada

We had an amazing time! Captain Matt knows the area in and out. He made sure we had a fantastic time and took extra care on making sure everyone was safe. Marina location is great for accessing Alligator reef and several other great snorkeling/dive spots. It had great facilities, bartender was great. Would 100% recommend this charter to everyone I know! We will be back for sure

Jeff you and your wife were a blast! You made the my day a breeze when you said “We are looki for a chill day, show is some beautiful sights and maybe some snorkeling” You requested what comes so easy here on the waters that surround Islamorada. Thank you for sharing a day of your Keys Vacation with me. Capt Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters
