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... More

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.

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.

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.

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
