Family fun fishing!

Private Snorkel Charter (4hr /AM)4 adults

Booked a trip to go fishing with my family and ended up with my daughter and my daughter-in-law and myself. We could not have had a better time if we tried. The captain was fantastic! Captain Eddie made sure we were all comfortable, had equipment ready to go, filleted all the fish we caught. This was an awesome experience, for anybody with a lot of fishing experience, like myself, or my daughters, who had a little experience!

Response from Captain

First we appreciate you trusting your family activity with us and your kind review. Capt Eddie enjoys showing guests the amazing waters of the backcountry of the Everglades. come on down anytime and we can show you other great areas for fishing and snorkeling. Capt Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters

    Great day on the water with Captain Matt

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM) • 2 adults

    We had a great day out on the water with Capt. Matt earlier this week. It started off by heading to the alligator lighthouse where we saw tons of fish & even a couple of sharks whilst snorkeling. We also got to see several dolphins and even went swimming near loggerhead turtles. Matt was a fun host with great storytelling and also shared interesting facts about the middle Keys.

    Response from Captain

    Alex thank you for the review and for choosing Bamboo Charters. The beautiful reef and wildlife made my job a breeze and the sea turtles along with the pod of dolhpins were amazing. These sort of days make my day. you can easily book simial experiences through BoatBooker in the future for more wonderful days on the water with us here in Islamorada.

    We booked a charter elsewhere that ended up getting canceled. So we booked with Bamboo Charters last minute and we are so glad that we did! Captian Matt is awesome, very knowledgeable and friendly! We had a great time and my family visiting from out of town got to see lots of cool stuff. Thanks and we will definitely be booking with Bamboo Charters again.

    Captain Matt was great!

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    My family of 4 had a great experience chartering with Captain Matt. We visited 2 great snorkel spots for which the captain provided all the gear and ensured each passenger had proper size fittings. We finished the trip by enjoying a beautiful sandbar. Would absolutely use again and recommend to others.

    Response from Captain

    Perfect day on the water

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM) • 5 adults

    Captain Matt was an amazing host. So knowledgeable of the local area and even though the weather didn’t allow for Alligator Reef (way too windy) he ensured we got to snorkle and saw tons of fish. We toured the mangroves and caught and released some bonnet sharks. Amazing day. Highly recommend!!!

    Response from Captain

    Brooke thank you for having me along with your family for the afternoon. I am glad we got the boys a chance to catch a couple of sharks and that everyone enjoyed the alternative snorkel location. come on down again and let me show you all some amazing reefs on the Atlantic side of the islands.
