I've saved her info down and will reach out for future outings! We had a two hour boat ride with Mike and we just asked him to tour us around Siesta key beach and allow us to see some dolphins; we did that and got to swim at one of the sandbars. We pretty much stopped at every dolphin encounter it was very nice! Great experience and would definitely come back!

We will definitely seek out Key Life the next time!

We decided to leave in the morning and stay out until early afternoon. The yacht showed up in the designated dock right on time in Turtle Beach. The ship Captain, Carlos, was very helpful in creating a great trip even though we were travelling during a Red Tide event in Siesta Keys area. Captain Carlos took us out to a sandbar which was not as effected by the Red Tide and we spent some time in the ocean before getting back on the boat. We had told Carlos that we were really hoping to encounter some dolphins on our trip and he was very knowledgeable about where the Dolphins like to hang out. We found a couple of dolphins hanging out in a small cove he recommended and it was an incredible experience as the dolphins followed the yacht for around 15 minutes and jumped and played in the boats wake. Truelly an amazing experience. Would highly recommend this company to others.

From the moment we stepped aboard, the experience felt effortless and personalized. Captain Jenn guided us smoothly from Venice out into the Gulf and down toward Stump Pass, where we enjoyed relaxed beach time and some incredible shelling on Peterson Island. It felt like our own private slice of paradise. After a quick and easy shore lunch, we cruised up Lemon Bay and through the Intracoastal back to Venice, taking in beautiful views the entire way. What truly made the day special, though, was Jenn herself--she connected with every member of our family, kept the energy light and fun, and captured so many great photos that we'll treasure for years. It's rare to find an experience that feels both professionally run and genuinely personal. This was one of those days you wish you could bottle up and repeat. Highly recommend--this is a must-do if you're in the Venice area and want a perfect day on the water.

He lost his sonar the evening before. So we had to find a fish with his knowledge alone. I didnt sleep well that night. I saw us at noon on my last day here with no fish and no way to find one. Well captain knows his stuff. We left the dock at 720 or so the first morning. He drives his boat out about an hour or so hands me a pole with a jig and said cast it out and let sink and we will see if we can catch a permit while I get set up for goliath. I cast out the 3rd cast and he says WE HAVE ONE COME HERE!!!! I reel in a 35 inch goliath grouper. 5 minutes into a 3 day trip and months of anxiety and anguish gone. Tagged out. Thanks for coming! We continued fishing for the next 2.99 days to catch red grouper and snapper without anything but a GPS map. No idea what's under the boat! No clue if we are on it or just close. But we caught fish. No depth finder, no fish finder, no idea of what kind on fish were under us. We definitely had to work for our fish. We even drifted on the calmest day and caught a good sized red grouper. I know he could have done better with all the gear he is used to having at his disposal, but he still managed to catch plenty of fish every day. We threw back at least as many fish back as we kept. Sometimes we got over blue runners and couldnt get any bait past them down to the snapper and grouper. Sometimes we would catch nothing but undersized fish. So on to the next spot. He drove that boat 2 hrs out 2.5 hrs out moved 6 or 7 moves anything he could to get a fish in the boat. Even without sonar! I was in awe. I fish a lot. I know my fishing holes back home in southern Indiana like the back of my hand. I don't need sonar on them. I can't catch squat without it on anything I fish only a couple times a year. And we are talking lakes. Small lakes. Captain covered miles and miles of ocean even after tagging the fish i came for in 5 minutes. He know fishing and fish. It was a tough bite. I went with him to get bait a couple mornings and we talked with other captains. Everybody was working hard for their fish. They were spread out and hard to find for a captain with sonar. I dont know how he did it. If you want to have a good time and catch fish, go with captain Korye. You will always be part of one of my trophy stories for the rest of my life! Thank you Brad
