We thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip with Captain Matt. He was very knowledgable, sharing interesting facts with us along the way. Accommodations were great and he made our trip a lot of fun! We would definitely book another trip with him.

Thank you for coming out on the water for a bit of snorkeling. I’m glad you enjoyed the experience. All three locations offer different views of our unique ecosystem here in the Islamorada area. PS don’t forget to pick up some Nellie and Joe’s Key Lime juice to make your own Pies back in Maryland Capt Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters

We had a great time! We did a variety of things - swam at the lighthouse, snorkeled in a different area, and enjoyed a more private and secluded sandbar. Captain Matthew was a joy to spend the day with and gave us the outing we had hoped for.
