Amazing day trip out of Islamorada

Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM)4 adults

We booked a half day snorkeling trip for our family of four with Bamboo charters. Capt. Matt was completely focused on our safety and providing a 5-star experience for our trip, which was the best snorkeling outing we have ever had! Capt. Matt also has a degree in marine biology and is extremely knowledgeable about the ocean and environment, which was a huge bonus for us, we learned so much! You can tell how passionate Capt Matt is about the ocean and marine environment and how much he loves what he is doing. It was an absolute privilege to have gone out with him and would recommend Bamboo charters for anyone interested in going out for any kind of water adventure, you will be in excellent hands!

Response from Captain

thank you for trusting me and Bamboo Charters with your vacation plans. It was great seeing your son’s interest in the reef life. And I’m so glad you got to see up close a couple of sharks and that Hawksbill turtle! The weather was a huge help with the calmsea and the beautiful visibility. Come on back and we’ll show you some other great reefs. We’ve got lots of small out-of-the-way places to go.

Snorkeling here in Islamorada is a must do!

    Fishing - check! Snorkeling - check! Mangroves - check! Sunset - check! And, a bunch of learning! If you want some local historic Restaraunt recommendations and to spend time with an all around cool dude Captain Matt is your man!

    Response from Captain

    Robert , thanks for coming out. I’m glad we were able to do a little bit of everything even catch some fish. The next time you’re down, we’ll have to go back into the back country and Everglades and show you that as well again thank you for booking with us. Capt. Matt Bellinger

    Great time

    2 Hour - Private Charter (PM)3 adults

    Captain Matt was awesome. He has so much information about the water, things on the island and was a great communicator. If your looking to go out on a boat in the Keys, captain Matt won’t disappoint.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you very much for the kind words. I really appreciate your business come on back anytime. We can do some more snorkeling on some other races but also get you out there and do some fishing in the back country. Thank you again for the business. We appreciate it.

    Can’t say enough great things about Captain Matt- he was so knowledgeable and totally agreeable to everything we wanted to do. Our day spent out on the boat was the best day of our whole week!

    Response from Captain

    I’m so glad you and the family had a great adventure with me. As usual the real rock star of the day was Alligator Reef lighthouse and the weather. I look forward to seeing all again soon Thank you Capt Matthew Bellinger
