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.

    Best value in Islamorada boat tours

    2 Hour -Custom Charter (AM) • 5 adults

    Captain Matt was great! He has an Impressive knowledge of the ecological makeup of the keys. He was attentive to our specific needs and wants and took us to a wonderful, off- the-beaten-path snorkeling area. Not only did he provide all the snorkeling equipment necessary (most places don't supply snorkels), the use of noodles made snorkeling so much easier. We were able to see lots of ocean life, including a pod of dolphin! The music was great and the overall environment was so much fun. We would recommend to families of all ages. Worth every penny!

    Response from Captain

    Dominic, thank you for trusting your vacation day to me here at Bamboo Charters. Mother nature made it an easy day light winds good visibility on our snorkeling site and having those dolphins come by the boat that was just absolutely fantastic. Come on back anytime. Let us get you out. I want our fishing boats or do a fishing and snorkeling combination will be here again thank you very much. Capt. Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters

    A Beautiful Saturday Indeed!!

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

    My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time out on the water with Captain Matt! We booked last minute the day before and Matt was proactive in being sure to call me and see what we wanted to do so he could plan. He had everything we needed for a fun morning of snorkeling then hanging out at the sandbar. He is so friendly & very knowledgeable about marine life in the FL keys. We had a wonderful day and very thankful for Captain Matt who had plenty of ideas for us to choose from to make the most of our morning out on the water.

    Response from Captain

    I am glad you enjoyed the morning ! The water at alligator reef lighthouse was amazing blue And very enjoyable at 83°. The fish life there at the lighthouse always amazes so it makes it easy for me to show you a great time. Thank you for coming out. I really appreciate your business. Capt Matthew Bamboo Charters

    Best choice we could have made!

    Private Snorkel Charter (4hr / PM) • 5 adults

    Went online to book an Islamorada sandbar trip. After reviewing all the choices decided on Bamboo Charters. Had an incredibly great time, Capt. Matt is definitely our choice when we return. Guy is incredibly knowledgeable, personable and just plain down to earth. Boat was well equipped and clean and he was a great host.! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or to go on another trip with him. Frank Palmer La Mirada, Ca.

    Response from Captain

    Frank you and your group were a blast aboard our boat “Pearl the Chubby Mermaid”. The conditions at Alligator Reef Lighthouse were no less than spectacular! I’m glad y’all enjoyed the Islamorada Sandbar to end the adventure. Come on back soon and we will get you out in the Everglades National Park and do some amazing fishing. Thank you Capt Matt Bellinger
