Highlight of our Vacation

4 Hr - Afternoon Multi Activity4 adults

We were looking forward to a day on the water. Our trip was booked a few weeks prior to arrival. I appreciated the captain’s open communication a week before, with his concern about the upcoming weather. He gave us alternate dates and times that may be better weather for our boating excursion. Thankfully, we didn’t have to reschedule, but knowing that there were alternatives, made me feel more comfortable. The boat was easy to find at the marina. The boat was well equipped with ice to keep our beverages cold. It was well equipped with enough water for everybody on the boat. We were able to get up close and personal with the dolphins. Then we were able to snorkel in very calm waters. The captain brought us out to the sandbar, which was my absolute favorite part of my vacation. He had water toys available. Floats, floating cooler, and a water mat. Our captain was super friendly, and knowledgeable about the history of the keys. His priority was our priorities. We finished our day on the boat with a quick visit to Hogs Heaven, which is a restaurant on the Bayside.

    Amazing time!

    2 Hr - Afternoon Sandbar & Snorkel • 4 adults • 2 children

    My family had an amazing time at the sandbar! We were first time boaters and Captain Dawid made sure to make us feel comfortable and safe. My kids even got to choose the music on our way over to the sandbar and back. He had water bottles, ice, a paddleboard, and different floats for my girls to enjoy. He also took some great family photos! The sandbar itself was beautiful with clear, blue water and soft sand. We will definitely come back again with Captain Dawid. Thanks again for a great day!

    Daughter's "Best Day in Florida"

    3 Hr – Morning Sandbar & Snorkel • 4 adults • 2 children

    Would recommend! Dawid gave us (2 adults, 2 kids) a great day. We visited Alligator Tower, another reef, and the Sand Bar. Saw turtles, sharks, and loads of fish. Lovely boat and equipment. Water and ice provided, and we brought drinks and food. Our daughter said this was the best day of our trip (from the England).

    Absolutely Recommend!! 10/10

    2 Hr - Morning Sandbar & Snorkel • 2 adults

    Captain David was super great!! He brought us to some breathtaking snorkeling spots where we saw nurse sharks, a Goliath grouper, and many beautiful fish! A private charter with David rather than a tour is the way to go! Super relaxing will be coming back to see him and the beautiful reefs in the Keys!

    The captain was great, we got there early and he was already there waiting. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and more. We found dolphins, sting rays, turtles and tons of fish. Even took us to go look for alligators. Super friendly and great host
