Snorkeling spot was incredible and saw so many fish, fishing was insane! Captain John baited the rods and we brought fish after fish in!

Captain John and Donna were highly knowledgeable regarding all matters of sea life, highly professional, easy to talk to, and very attentive to our needs. If you want an experience like no other, Calypso Charters, this is the trip you need to go on!

Captain Andy was incredible--friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip fun and relaxing for our whole family. My wife, our three kids, and even our dog had an amazing time. We spent the day swimming, snorkeling, and exploring beautiful sandbars that felt like our own private paradise. One of the highlights was cruising through the mangroves--the views were stunning and unlike anything we've experienced before. It was peaceful, scenic, and truly memorable. If you're looking for a perfect family adventure in Key West, this is it. Highly recommend Island Tales Charter--we'll definitely be back!

We settled in and set off for the ride to Looe Coral reserve for snorkeling- 1st stop. We beat the crowds and secured the best tie off spot. We spent about an hour enjoying the below the surface life. We even swam with a sea turtle. The snorkeling was the best I've ever experienced, and I guess that's why Looe Key is one of the top ten worldwide snorkeling places listed in last month's issue of SCUBA. After capturing some kicking videos underwater with the GoPro, we climbed back aboard and headed out to the flats to check out a few sand bars. He picked a great spot, devoid of other fun seekers and after a beat we opted to head out for more touring. We went back into the mangroves and checked out the local sights. Cap'n Clint was so forthcoming with information and he is knowledgeable and so much fun! He has history here, and it shows. I hope to go again and I am definitely booking this for when my family comes to visit. Things spotted while boating: sea turtle diving, sting ray, some type of shark (No dolphins, . this time, but they're out there somewhere!) Things not spotted: other tours . Thank you Clint Moore for a great day- we will try for better than baloney on bread next time (bad on us)

So glad we did the prices were right and everything went really good!!!!

I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. We had the 23' T top. So if you're thinking about renting a boat there's no point in looking any further. Thanks again for the great experience

The wines ranged from white to red, dry to sweet, flat to slightly bubbly. The countries of origin also varied nicely. This was an unforgettable experience. The crew excelled at customer service and engagement, and did their best to make sure everyone was having a great time. After some initial chop, we made it out to smooth waters and one of the best parts of our Florida trip. We would book another cruise with them in a heartbeat and recommend this cruise company to anyone looking for a fabulous Key West experience.
