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!

Response from Captain

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 trip!!!!

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM)4 adults

    We had the best day with Captain Matt! He took us snorkeling at Alligator Reef where we saw so many fish in crystal clear water. On our way back we found some dolphins and Matt git them to swim with our boat! It was the perfect in the keys!

    Response from Captain

    Katie the Dolphins surfing our wake was amazing as always and I am glad it happened at the end of the adventure as it’s a hard act to beat! Alligator Light is always a crowd pleaser and I’m glad y’all enjoyed it. Capt Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters Islamorada

    Beautiful Cruise

    2 Hour - Private Charter (PM)4 adults

    We had such a good time seeing Islamorada from the water. Captain Matt drove us around the bay and told us many interesting facts about the area. We were so happy that we decided to take the cruise. It was a perfect afternoon and I would highly recommend seeing the area from the water.

    Response from Captain

    Snorkeling at Alligator Reef Lighthouse Was a 10 out of 10

    Private Snorkel Charter (4hr / PM)5 adults3 children

    Captain Matt was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. We have been snorkeling many places in the past, this was the best hands down. Matt also shared info about the local ecosystem which was cool. I would book Matt, and this trip again in a heartbeat.

    Response from Captain

    Zach, thank you for the kind words on your review the blue blue water and the beautiful lighthouse made having fun easy. I just had to get you out there and back. Glad you guys came out with us. Can’t wait to see you down here again. You can go right here through the Boat Booker portal and get another ship. Set up anytime you like. Thank you again Capt. Matt Bellinger
