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)

We booked for 2 excursions, sunset cruise and 5 hour private charter. The communication was…read morefabulous to pick the perfect days for each. Our sunset cruise was great Captain Frankie and First Mate Deego (such a love bug) The 5 hour private charter was exactly what we wanted, no plans, no pressure, no desires. Unfortunately for Captain Frankie he was with us again on this excursion, he may still be in therapy. Can't wait until next year for our next adventure with them, see you January 2026!!!!

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of chartering a boat with Captain V, and it was truly an…read moreunforgettable experience. From the moment we set sail, we could tell Captain V was an expert -- not only was she knowledgeable about the area, but she made it her mission to ensure we had a great time. Her attention to detail, warmth, and genuine passion for what she does made the trip feel personal and special. Captain V is an outstanding captain and also a great conversationalist, easy to talk to, and was incredibly accommodating to our needs. She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed every moment. If you want a top-notch charter experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Xotic Island Charters. You won't regret it -- it's an experience you'll treasure.

He is professional, knowledgeable, high-energy, and relentless. He had an aggressive plan to push out where he knows fish are as opposed to wasting time on over-fished spots that are closer to shore. We did whatever was necessary (trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, flat lining, you name it) to catch high quality fish-Bull Mahi, Black fin Tuna, Snapper, Grouper, Almaco Jack, Yellow Eyes, Blackbelly Rosefish. I look forward to my next trip with Captain Conrad and highly recommend you book with him as well. -Aaron Date fished: 6/26/2024

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

A great place to take bikes to ride around the loop trail and down the burn out bridge trail. Great place to take in views of the old highway that used to be connected to the Burn out bridge. It kinda takes a while to get to one end of the trail. But it's totally worth it when you get to the end because you can swim, though there's a current, and take in the views of the national refuge there in the lower keys.
