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 Captain, fantastic trip

    2 Hour -Custom Charter (AM)3 adults1 child

    We went out with Captain Matt for a short trip and he was incredible! Water was beautiful and he is incredibly knowledgeable about the islands. He was great with our 4 year old daughter and she’s still talking about him. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!

    Response from Captain

    I enjoyed showing you and your family my little slice of paradise. I don’t think the weather could’ve been any better or the water any bluer. I wish we could’ve shown y’all one of the crocodiles but the Manatee family with a little baby was pretty darn cool. Thank you again for coming out Capt. Matt Bellinger Bamboo Charters

    Highlight of our trip

    Private Snorkel Charter (3hr / AM)6 adults4 children

    This trip was the highlight of our trip. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, safety conscious and great with kids. We had 4 kids with varying interests and the captain was able to organize a trip that checked all their boxes. It was truly worthwhile!

    Great charter

    Private Snorkel Charter (4hr / PM)2 adults

    This was our best charter to date in Islamorada. Captain Matt was great, we had a perfect day on the water. The boat was well equipped and comfortable. We did some snorkeling and saw tons of fish and a turtle. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go out again.

    Response from Captain

    I’m so glad you enjoyed the charter you booked with BoatBooker! We had wonderful conditions and seeing a sea turtle while snorkeling is always a fantastic experience. Come on back anytime and let’s explore some new reefs.
