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!

    Made sure we had a great experience with young snorkelers, seeing turtles, sharks and lots of fish. Shared extensive knowledge of the ecosystem we were seeing. Thanks Matt!

    Response from Captain

    Your boys were very enthusiastic about their trip today that makes my job that much easier. The second Reef with Snorkel today even though it’s much smaller than the first one is usually packed with a good life. I loved seeing those turtles at the end of the trip. Thank you very much for coming out. I appreciate your business. Capt Matthew Bamboo Charters

    Matthew was an excellent captain and guide. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and provides everything you need for a fabulous day on the water.

    Response from Captain

    I’m glad everyone had such a fun time with Miss Ana’s birthday. We did have nice conditions and it made life very easy out there on the Sandbar. Next time you’re up from Key West give me a call. We’ll get you out there and show you some other things. Capt. Matthew Bamboo Charters
