I cannot say enough negative things about this company and the owner.Run far and fast…read more Friend and I booked a half day excursion. For the TWO OF US. We wanted our own boat and captain and not the annoying aspect of sharing a boat with strangers and dealing with small talk. We specifically listed what we wanted to do: kayak, paddleboard, fish. That was precisely on our order form. We also specifically noted that snorkeling was not an option. I had a procedure on my ear and could not submerge my ear in water. We book, we pay. We call the next day to confirm because we hadn't received any notification by phone or email. Leave a message and the owner calls at 9 pm the night before our scheduled excursion the next morning. He tells us that there was a mixup online and they don't have enough boats/captains. Say what? We were pissed. It was our last day and it was too late to schedule a new excursion. My friend let him know that this was riduculous. about 30 minutes later he calls back and lets us know that it's all worked out, everything is fine, see you tomorrow morning. We show up the next morning and it was a shit show. Our captain comes in, Scruffy, and greets us. Takes us out to the dock and shows us the boat we are going to be on and that we just have to wait for the other employee to come back with the bait. We sit. Then sit some more. Next thing you know, we are introduced to a family and find out that we are all sharing a boat. WTF. We paid money for the TWO of us for a half day excurision and to have our own boat. It wasn't cheap. At all. We explained that this is wrong. We are then told that they had a large party make an appt so the other boat was reserved for them. Basically, screw you. We are making tons more money with this large party. The boat for 5 guests and the captain was a joke. 2 people could sit up front on this little boat , the other 3 sat on Yeti coolers. Scruffy explains our plan for the day: snorkeling and swimming. We chime in that snorkeling/swimming is not an option and not what we paid for and where are the kayaks and paddleboards? The FAMILY paid for an all day excursion and that's what they requested. Hence, more people and all day = more money. Both of us at that point are pissed. Scruffy says he will squeeze on paddleboards, but kayaks are going to fit. YOu know, because we were on a boat that wasn't big enough for the people on it. Then proceeds the issue regarding our half day excursion vs the family's all day excursion. Scruffy starts trying to get us to upgrade to an all day excursion so that he doesn't have to cut into the family's all day tour. We weren't about to pay more money for the shit show that was taking place and tell him too bad, we aren't doing an all day because I wasn't about to sit my ass on a boat while everyone swam and snorkeled. That wasn't what we paid for. We get on the tiny ass rinky dink boat and head out. We go to a little island. Scruff drops us off, gets the fishing gear out and takes us around a bend of the island. He drops us off in a little cove, asks if we know how to fish and then says he will be back in a few hours because he is taking the family snorkeling by a boat wreck. WTF? So the two of us are in awe. We say we need our bags, our lunch, some WATER while we are left Gilligan's Island style in some random cove. He leaves us. We start fishing. Something starts biting us. Biting us ALL.OVER. The little cove was infested with sand fleas. Both of us were covered with sand flea bites. If you know sand flea bites, you know how god awful itchy they are. We immediately got the hell out of there and went to the main part of the island/sand bar is where other charter operations were. We then proceeded to hang out waist deep in the water because I can't get my damn ear wet. About an hour/hour and half later, the boat rolls up. We tell Kermit that we couldn't fish because of the sand flea infestation. We want to paddleboard since we are stuck on this island. We paddleboard, are hanging out... and an hour later Scruffy yells to us that it's time to go because our time is up, BUT we can add another hour for an extra $100 a person. Uh, hell to the no. We paddle in. Get on the boat. The obnoxious father proceeds to push us towards staying. Obviously they didn't want to waste an hour of their time paid for the charter while schlepping is back to the dock. At this point we are furious. We did nothing but paddleboard for an hour and get bit by sand fleas and sit in water. That's it. It cost us $250 a person for that crap. Furious. we get dropped off, get in the car and my friend who booked wrote the owner Rob (? I think is his name) and told him there were major issues and to call us. Nothing that day. We call, we leave messages. Nothing. We call again. We FINALLY get an email from him. long story short, this was an expensive and unprofessional piece of garbage charter. STAY AWAY.

He took us out to the mud keys, I ended up paddle boarding and followed a friend through some mango trees and got knocked off of the board and couldn't get back on it so she went to get a rope, little did I know scruffy is on top of his game and already came searching for us due to us taking a long time to get back and he found me and helped me get situated onto the board! He then led the way back to the boat. It's definitely worth it and you'll be in good hands!! The views you get is worth it, I love the mango trees personally. We were on vacation from Ohio and it's a stress reliever from everything.
