Thank you Marcia for choosing Bamboo Charters for your Sunset Cruise. You ladies were fun to guide through the Mangrove channels here in Islamorada and end the day with a wonderful sunset.

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!

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

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!

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.

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.
