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.

Thank you for coming out with the family today. Great weather made for amazing water. The Sandbar was just right and the snorkeling at Alligator Reef Lighthouse was on point today. Capt Matthew Bamboo Charters

Not only did he provide all the snorkeling equipment necessary (most places don’t supply snorkels), the use of noodles made snorkeling so much easier. We were able to see lots of ocean life, including a pod of dolphin! The music was great and the overall environment was... More

Dominic, thank you for trusting your vacation day to me here at Bamboo Charters. Mother nature made it an easy day light winds good visibility on our snorkeling site and having those dolphins come by the boat that was just absolutely fantastic. Come on back anytime. Let us get you out. I want our fishing boats or do a fishing and snorkeling combination will be here again thank you very much. Capt. Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters
