  Perfect Day on the Water — Highly Recommend!

  Exploring Boca Grande Island (AM) on March 14, 2026 • 3 adults

  We had such a fun and memorable boating experience with Sergei! From the start, everything was smooth and easy — even parking was not an issue. The boat itself was spotless, super comfortable, and perfect for spending a relaxing day on the water. Sergei really made the trip special. He took us to different sandbars that perfectly matched our vibe and interests, while also considering the weather and water conditions that day. It was clear he knows the area really well and understands how to plan the best route depending on currents and weather. The music was great, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and he even made sure we had water and ice for our beverages, which we really appreciated. It felt like a stress-free day where we could just enjoy time with friends and soak up the experience. Overall, we had an amazing time on the water and would absolutely do it again with friends and family. Highly recommend — it was such a great day!

  Amazing day on the water

  4 Hour – Sandbar Trip (PM) on March 6, 2026 • 2 adults

  If you’re looking for a great charter experience, Captain Sergei and Making Memories are an excellent choice. Sergei takes great pride in maintaining a spotless boat and ensuring his guests have the best experience possible. During our trip, he took my wife and me to several sandbars and even joined us in the water to help take photos. He was incredibly attentive, always making sure we had drinks in hand and everything we needed to relax and enjoy the day. He also brought paddleboards, inflated them for us, and encouraged us to explore and ride around. Captain Sergei truly goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable.

  Incredible trip with the most incredible captain!!

  4 Hour – Sandbar Trip (AM) on January 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  I couldn’t recommend this charter and captain more. He was so accommodating being that the cold front was coming in to key west and he made sure we went on the perfect day. We had 4 adults and our 2 1/2 year old daughter with us and it was so family friendly. Our captain showed us all the notable keys and made sure to walk around with us, take pictures of us and just make sure we were having a good time at all times. By far our favorite was mud key hanging with locals! Next time we want to go right there!! The boat is beautiful and has so much storage and very spacious! The captain loves what he does and takes so much pride in it, we were so thankful we went with him! Can’t thank him enough, it was our favorite day out of the entire vacation! Can’t wait to book this again!!!!! 10/10!

  Book this trip, best time ever!!!

  4 Hour – Sandbar Trip (PM) on January 18, 2026 • 4 adults

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 Recommend! We had an amazing charter experience today with Sergei. He went completely out of his way to make sure we avoided bad weather while still having a fantastic time, even adjusting our departure time and route to make it work. He truly catered to us—loaded our coolers, took phenomenal photos, and brought us to specific spots just to make sure we got the best pictures. The boat itself was clean, upscale, newer, and fast, with an excellent sound system that let us DJ our own music. Sergei was also incredibly knowledgeable about the area and gave us a true tour-guide experience, not just a boat ride. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable, stress-free charter experience.

  Sergio attention to details for our family

  4 Hour – Sandbar Trip (PM) on December 22, 2025 • 4 adults

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Making Memories Charters with Sergio truly lives up to the name! Making Memories Charters made our vacation unforgettable from start to finish. Sergio is an incredible captain who truly knows how to cater to his customers and create an experience that is fun, relaxed, and perfectly tailored to your group. From the moment we stepped on board, we felt welcomed, taken care of, and excited for the day ahead. The boat itself was beautiful, spacious, and extremely well-kept, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Having a clean onboard bathroom was such a thoughtful and appreciated feature—especially when spending a full day out on the water. Every detail was clearly considered with guest comfort in mind. Sergio’s knowledge, professionalism, and easygoing personality made the entire charter stress-free and fun. He goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is having a great time, creating memories that truly last a lifetime. This wasn’t just a boat ride—it was a highlight of our vacation. If you’re looking for a private boat charter, family-friendly experience, and an exceptional captain who genuinely cares, I highly recommend Making Memories Charters. We will absolutely be booking with Sergio again!
