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.

    Great Captain, fantastic trip

    2 Hour -Custom Charter (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    We went out with Captain Matt for a short trip and he was incredible! Water was beautiful and he is incredibly knowledgeable about the islands. He was great with our 4 year old daughter and she’s still talking about him. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

    Response from Captain

    I enjoyed showing you and your family my little slice of paradise. I don’t think the weather could’ve been any better or the water any bluer. I wish we could’ve shown y’all one of the crocodiles but the Manatee family with a little baby was pretty darn cool. Thank you again for coming out Capt. Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters

    Highlight of our trip

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM) • 6 adults • 4 children

    This trip was the highlight of our trip. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, safety conscious and great with kids. We had 4 kids with varying interests and the captain was able to organize a trip that checked all their boxes. It was truly worthwhile!

    Response from Captain

    Amanda, thank you very much for coming out with your family, the kids were great and seem to enjoy catching those barracudas and doing some snorkeling. i’m really glad they got to see the turtles as well. Thank you for coming out. I really appreciate it. Capt. Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters

    Great charter

    Private Snorkel Charter (4hr / PM) • 2 adults

    This was our best charter to date in Islamorada. Captain Matt was great, we had a perfect day on the water. The boat was well equipped and comfortable. We did some snorkeling and saw tons of fish and a turtle. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go out again.

    Response from Captain

    I’m so glad you enjoyed the charter you booked with BoatBooker! We had wonderful conditions and seeing a sea turtle while snorkeling is always a fantastic experience. Come on back anytime and let’s explore some new reefs.
