Experienced and Family Friendly!!

Private Snorkel Charter (4hr / PM)6 adults2 children

Captain Matt gave our family an unforgettable snorkeling trip in the Florida Keys! He was knowledgeable, patient, and made Brandon, me, and our four kids feel safe and comfortable from start to finish. He knew exactly where to take us for the best snorkeling, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. His friendly personality and genuine passion for what he does made the day both relaxing and exciting. If you’re looking for a captain who truly cares about giving you an incredible experience, I highly recommend Captain Matt—you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you for the generous review. We know the real crowd pleaser was a great conditions as well as the sea turtles, a multitude of tropical fish and outstanding water conditions, blue blue water, calm seas mix for a great day. I just fill it in with some stories and have some fun with the kids. Please consider me for your next vacation down here and you can always hook me up through Boat Booker. Capt Matt Bamboo Charters

    Great day on the water with Captain Matt

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM) • 2 adults

    We had a great day out on the water with Capt. Matt earlier this week. It started off by heading to the alligator lighthouse where we saw tons of fish & even a couple of sharks whilst snorkeling. We also got to see several dolphins and even went swimming near loggerhead turtles. Matt was a fun host with great storytelling and also shared interesting facts about the middle Keys.

    Response from Captain

    Alex thank you for the review and for choosing Bamboo Charters. The beautiful reef and wildlife made my job a breeze and the sea turtles along with the pod of dolhpins were amazing. These sort of days make my day. you can easily book simial experiences through BoatBooker in the future for more wonderful days on the water with us here in Islamorada.

    Captain Matt was great!

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM) • 4 adults • 1 child

    My family of 4 had a great experience chartering with Captain Matt. We visited 2 great snorkel spots for which the captain provided all the gear and ensured each passenger had proper size fittings. We finished the trip by enjoying a beautiful sandbar. Would absolutely use again and recommend to others.

    Perfect day on the water

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM) • 5 adults

    Captain Matt was an amazing host. So knowledgeable of the local area and even though the weather didn’t allow for Alligator Reef (way too windy) he ensured we got to snorkle and saw tons of fish. We toured the mangroves and caught and released some bonnet sharks. Amazing day. Highly recommend!!!

    Response from Captain

    Brooke thank you for having me along with your family for the afternoon. I am glad we got the boys a chance to catch a couple of sharks and that everyone enjoyed the alternative snorkel location. come on down again and let me show you all some amazing reefs on the Atlantic side of the islands.
