We stayed at the Tarpon There was a scary part, we are lucky we don't drink, otherwise I can see people falling into the water and slipping off the walkway because it's extremely narrow. We definitely had some fun getting on and off the houseboat especially with luggage and rain. It takes some non slip shoes and upper arm strength to hold on while the house boat is moving trying to get off or on. It's so well worth it though, we had a blast! Thank you Mike for such an incredible experience!

If you're more low key and to experience new things then this is the place for you! It's like a camper on the water. We stayed in the Tarpon for 4 nights. Staff- very friendly, helpful, and pleasant. Houseboat- comfortable beds, except for in the loft. One of two complained. Bedding was soft. Bathroom- bigger than I expected! The water heater worked well enough for 4 adults to take showers within an hour and a half. The only mirrors in the place are in the bathroom, which made it difficult for the three girls to get ready. Kitchen- adequate for your needs. A pot and pan, microwave, two burners, cutting board, toaster, full size fridge, dishes for 4, and enough cooking utensils. Decks- they are to die for. We thoroughly enjoyed our coffee up there in the mornings and then drinks at night. I highly recommend this place, especially if you like camping. It was a great time and I would love to come back!

The marina offers boat tours and rentals. The Habanos restaurant sits next to the Tavernier Creek Bridge but never got the chance to try their food since the employee refused to unlock the door 5 minutes early.

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!

We have booked trips all over the place, Charleston, Cape Cod, Panama Canal, Mexico, etc.. and our experience with Josh was one of the best. He is a funny guy that can carry on a good conversation. This is important to me with a guide, as some can be stuffy and dead noise can be uncomfortable.. this will not happen with Josh. His skills of fishing are perfect for any experienced person or beginner fisherman or woman! We split our trip up and fished off the fly half the day and bait fished the rest, in Everglades park. Josh fished with us an entire 12 hours, he said "when you call it, we'll be done." And charged us his standard full day price. ANY guide we've ever had watches their watch and calls it at exactly 8 hours, or less. I can't stand guides that watch their watches.. Josh is very unique in this way. We caught all kinds of fish, some we didn't want to catch, like catfish and lady fish (but if you ask me, they were still fun to catch), but others we did want to catch like snook, redfish, trout, Jack's.. etc. We saw Gators, dolphins, sting Ray's, manatees, and giant sea turtles that came up along the side of the skiff boat. We checked around the keys for other guides prices and found that Josh was right in the sweet spot for his pricing (under what most charge by at least $50)... And he was definitely worth every single penny. Whether you want to fish the keys, the Everglades, or even for trout in Idaho, Josh is your guy. You will have a blast, I promise!!
