    Captain Josh and AquaBlue Adventures were FANTASTIC all the way around!! We had such a great day out on the boat with him. He offers something for everyone: snorkeling, paddle boarding, fishing, sunset cruise, great music (of your choice!), and delicious snacks and adult beverages (also of your choice). He is extremely knowledgeable and also super fun. I cannot say enough good things. I am usually underwhelmed by day boat trips - but our trip either Captain Josh was the highlight of our trip. I would go back to Islamorada just for another day out on the water with AquaBlue Adventures!

    Just another great day on the Islamorada Sandbar

    My crew had an incredibly fun day on the Water. We spent the whole day on the Islamorada Sandbar - eating, drinking, swimming, meeting other boaters, and generally just relaxing. Our hostess Claire made sure we had a very good time. Many of the other boaters on the Sandbar knew Claire and AquaBlue Adventures and by lunch we had met a dozen new friends. The weather was perfect - but this adventure would have been fun regardless of the weather. I would definitely rent this boat again. Bring your hat, bikini and sunscreen - that is all you need! See you soon.

    Absolutely great time with Josh! Can't recommend him enough. Our charter with Josh was the highlight of our vacation. We will certainly book with Josh again the next time we're in the Keys!

    Capt Josh's yummy boat made lunch, on the floating picnic table! So much fun

    Captain Josh was the best. From coordinating the meals for our trip and sending and informational email a week out, all the was down to greeting my husband and I at the pier! The boat was very clean and Capt Josh had it stocked with everything we could need and more. I went on the trip 6 months pregnant and was comfortable the entire time. He had a music playlist to accommodate my husband heavy metal, which my husband really appreciated. He ensured we enjoyed every minute of the trip and answered all our questions, while teaching us new things about Florida and all the beautiful Islamorada has to offer. If we come back, we will definitely be booking a trip and look forward to it again.

    This was a great day on the water. Fresh fruit, snacks, and a great lunch with plenty of refreshments. Josh went out of his way to make our day fun. The girls loved the paddle boards and fishing along the mangroves. The beautiful water & sunshine made for a wonderful family experience. Thanks Josh!

    See all

    My friends and I came down from Miami for my birthday weekend and Josh took us out on the water for the day.

    I booked this half day private charter for my boyfriend and I, while visiting Islamorada. We had…read morerequested Charlie for our captain, per other recommendations from friends. He was very accommodating in finding a day and time that worked for us, very hospitable, and had a great personality! Charlie texts you several times before the boat day, to make sure directions on everything are clear- I really appreciated receiving the EXACT directions with pictures and precise details. His "Tiki Tiki" boat was brand new and beautiful, and I enjoyed bringing our own drinks and snacks on the boat (he parks next to a food boat, if you'd rather buy food). The sandbar was a lot of fun, and Charlie brought many toys for us to play with on the water (kayak, rafts, beer pong table, noodles, etc). Definitely enough equipment to keep you busy for the day! The sandbar was a bit busy (even on a weekday), but he tried to find us an area where no one was blaring their music, so we could play our own. Charlie took several pictures and videos for us that he emailed us later in the week. I really enjoyed having all those, in addition to mine. Only constructive criticism I have, would be that I booked a half day "tour", and had mentioned going snorkeling and doing the catch/release of baby sharks. I was under the impression that was all set up as the plan for the day. However, we went straight to the sandbar and spent the day there; little bit of a letdown as we wanted to do other activities as well- other than that it was a great day! The water was clear, we saw some fish (and lots of dogs), and the weather was perfect- we had a great day with Captain Charlie!

Charlie is a magical Captain who creates special moments throughout your entire experience on his boat. Of course the Sandbar is beautiful but the hospitality is what sets this charter apart from the rest. His boat was beautiful and we were comfortable as can be all day long. We are already planning our next trip back and can not stop staring at photos from our special day. Can not recommend Key Largo Adventures enough!

    Clearly Unique - Matt, and Brady were great. Took me and my family out, great communication and safe.

    I emailed this company, as told to, to request a refund for the sandbar portion of the boat trip I…read morepaid for, as I never received that service. I booked and paid for a sandbar boat trip and snorkeling excursion. While we did attempt snorkeling, the weather and water conditions were extremely poor--choppy water, stormy weather, and very limited visibility. The conditions were so rough that it made us feel sick, and snorkeling itself was difficult. Some of the people on the boat only went in a few minutes because it was so choppy. We were told both on the phone and in person that we would be going to Alligator Reef, (another woman on the boat said she asked the guy at the counter for the tour if we were going to Alligator Reef and he said yes), but due to the conditions, this was not the experience we were promised. Because of the weather, we were unable to go to the sandbar at all (rain, clouds, choppy water). In hindsight, the trip should not have gone out that day given the conditions, especially since the main destinations could not be accessed safely. WHICH WAS MOST LIKELY WHY WE WERE THE ONLY BOAT OUT ON THE WATER-- DIDN'T SEE ANOTHER BOAT THE ENTIRE TIME. The other thing- people snorkel in Florida because it's warm and clear. This day was raining, choppy, murky and cold! We were offered the option to return the following day by Jerry (Wednesday the 14th) for the sandbar. However, when we came back, the weather was again bad, and your staff advised that you likely would not be going out. This resulted in another wasted trip, and ultimately, we never received the sandbar portion of the experience we paid for. I was then told I could use the sandbar trip on a future visit, but I live in California and do not have plans to return, making that option unrealistic. To be clear, I did not request a refund for the entire excursion (although, I really should)--only for the sandbar portion, since that service was never provided. Even though we purchased the snorkel sand bar trip, they take you out on the boat to snorkel, make you come all the way back in to pick up more people, then go all the way back out again, so half your trip is just chartering people. That wasn't the issue (just putting that in here for others so that they know). It was so cold and choppy and nauseating that there is no way someone should be going to the sandbar! I was hoping we would have been able to resolve this directly and professionally, but the company didn't respond. It was not a fun environment for snorkeling, and clearly the company went out anyways because it's a business and they care more about your money than your experience. It was freezing and nauseating. After speaking to several employees at our hotel, they said that the company should never have taken any of us out that day and that the boating company often promise things and underdeliver and that they don't personally recommend that company to people that come in. I wish I had not booked ahead of time and spoke to someone onsite first. Also we have only one photo on the boat because it was so choppy that people were having trouble standing up to take a photo! I gave 1 star because the two men captaining the boat were fabulous and although they had to take us out by force, they were good at explaining how to snorkel and tried to make the most of it. When asked if we were going to Alligator Reef like promised, they said, "Look out there, it's pouring, it's bad here but it will be way worse out there."
