Sea Turtles, Nurse Sharks, and an Amazing Day on the Water

Private Snorkel Charter (4hr / PM)4 adults

We had an excellent experience with Bamboo Charters and Captain Matt. He took us to three different snorkeling spots and made sure everyone had a great time. His personality and local knowledge really made the trip enjoyable. The snorkeling was fantastic—we saw sea turtles, nurse sharks, tarpon, and plenty of other marine life. Captain Matt was friendly, professional, and clearly knows the area well. He did a great job finding spots with excellent visibility and wildlife. If you’re looking for a private snorkeling charter in the Keys, I would highly recommend Bamboo Charters and Captain Matt. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Response from Captain

Ian thank you so much for choosing Bamboo Charters and boy we did have a great day the weather was perfect and I tell you what made my day was when your wife went from being afraid of a barracuda the following a nurse shark until she could touch it on the tail that made my day. I think it made hers too. It was a good one. Thank you very much and come on back anytime. Just check out Boat Booker and you can get set up with me right there. It’s very easy. Capt. Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters

    Great knowledge and care!

    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

    Amazing Trip

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / PM) • 6 adults

    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
