The initial boat ride out was good. Took about an hour to board, talk through procedures, get…read morevests, etc and arrive at the reef. Once at the reef, the water was extremely choppy. One passenger fell due to the extreme waves. Everyone put in their gear and started snorkeling, many people were struggling due to the waves and I was one of them. I got back on the boat 5 mins after struggling with the waves. For the next hour, I was extremely sea sick on the side of the boat. Many people proceeded to get back to the boat after me with bad sea sickness. Many snorkelers had to be rescued with a flotation devices. 90% of people were back on the boat before the time was up. I'm very been on this trip with this company before and had no problems. The water then was calm. I don't think it was safe to allow people to snorkeling in those wave conditions.

Awesome experience getting to explore the coral reefs of the Keys! It was my family's first time…read moresnorkeling and we all had a blast. Captain Rick & mates Liber & Brandon were the best -- friendly, attentive, & professional. You check in and purchase (if needed) snorkels at a spot up the road from the boat, goggles & fins are provided once on the boat. I'd totally recommend!

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!

What a great day with Capt. Merv! When we showed up at the dock he was waiting and all ready to go…read more We placed our drinks and snacks in his ice chest and off we went. It was like having a local family member taking you out for the day. Whatever we wanted to do he knew just where to go. We visited the sandbar, so we could say we did it. When it got busy we were ready to see wildlife and go snorkeling and Merv did not disappoint. We pointed out landmarks and other interesting facts as we trolled along. We plan to use his service again when we visit Key Largo again. If you are looking for a great day don't look any farther.

Without a down, hands down the most AMAZING experience of our life! I am so glad I called up Merv…read moreand he guided me through the entire thing. He was so quick to answer all my questions and is so knowledgeable on the entire area. He was amazing from start to finish-- showed us so many areas and shared the history of pretty much everything we saw. We saw sharks, a sting ray, grouper fish, a ton of fish, barracuda's, and more! He was so amazing that he even brought stuff for us to snorkel with and has a great recommendation list on what to bring with you to make everything be as smooth as possible. We cannot wait to come back and bring the kiddos next time! Merv you were an absolute GEM and we can't wait to see you again!!!! 100000% worth every penny spent. We haven't stopped talking about the turquoise blue water that made all my dreams come true! WOW.

This was six senior adults with most of them not accustomed to be on the water.

Wonderful tour, would highly recommend.

Even though…read morethe weather wasn't completely on our side, Kathy and Heidi truly went above and beyond to make sure our time on the water was the best it could possibly be. One completely unintentional and unexpected highlight was getting to interact with dolphins as they swam right around our boat. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Kathy immediately recognized how special this moment could be for us and she made sure to capitalize on it in a way only a true captain could. She made sure we got the opportunity to fully take this in...something we will never forget! From start to finish, they were thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Every detail was considered, and they took such great care to make sure the kids had the absolute best time. It was clear how much they genuinely care about creating meaningful, memorable experiences for families. We couldn't recommend Family Fun Boat Tour Co more highly. If you're visiting Islamorada, especially with kids, this is an absolute must. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Dog-Friendly Sandbar Adventure in Marathon…read more Emily and I booked a sandbar excursion with Salty Pup Adventures while visiting Marathon, Florida, and brought our two dogs with us. It turned out to be one of our favorite experiences in the Florida Keys. Captain Katie was friendly, accommodating, and made sure that both we and our dogs were comfortable throughout the trip. The boat ride was relaxing, the water at the Marathon Sandbar was beautiful, and we had plenty of time to swim, play in the water, and enjoy the surroundings. Seeing manatees during the excursion made the day even more memorable. What really sets Salty Pup Adventures apart is how genuinely dog-friendly the experience is. Our dogs were not simply allowed on the boat--they were part of the adventure. That made the trip much more enjoyable for us. We highly recommend Salty Pup Adventures for couples, families, dog owners, or anyone looking for a fun private boat tour or sandbar cruise in Marathon and the Middle Florida Keys. We had a wonderful time and definitely plan to do it again.
