Had such a great experience coming here with my son. I had done lots of research on all the…read moredifferent scuba/sandbar excursions in the keys, and when I found this one, it looked like something fun and local that would be a lot of fun to do. When I initially called them for help in which boat we should pick for our excursion, that woman that answered the phone was so nice and helpful and just got me more excited to book and made it fun to look forward to. I liked that this one was only 3 hours, because we were stopping on our way back to Miami from Key West and we didn't want to be on the water all day. The day of when we were driving up from Key West, we thought we had plenty of time to get there, but traffic was proving it difficult for us to make it on time. I called the shop to ask about how much time we would have since we wouldn't be able to get there in the 30 mins prior to make way, as requested when booking. Alanna answered the phone and was more than happy to help out. I called about an hour prior to our initial arrival time to inform them we may be late, and she was wonderful. She said they could hold the boat for a few minutes for us but just to keep them posted. As we inched our way closer and closer to Tavinier, traffic still was not on our side. They called and checked in on us and how the drive was going, and this to me made me feel taken care of above and beyond. They didn't have to call, they didn't have to wait, but they did, and I was very much appreciative of them! When it came to finally making my way in, I couldn't find parking, and again, Alanna saved the day and helped me locate a spot! We ran to the boat, hopped on and Captain Chris and Mate Savannah were so wonderful with the same southern hospitality. They greeted us with huge smiles and off we went. Savannah and Chris both checked in on us once we were parked at the sandbar, offering bevs, floating devices, conversation, and just a great time! My son and I really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this charter!

Captain Brad and Scuba Joe made it a Party that was both FUN and Safe!! I'd give them ten stars if I could. We will be back and do it All Again!! The boat pulls out from a gorgeous resort and we visited 2 Famous Reefs. Take a look at my pictures! One reef is known has the #1 Reef for snorkeling in the World !! I can't say enough how safe it was (little kids were snorkeling) and the fun on boat was nonstop with music jokes and laughter! For people that never snorkeled before, everyone loved it. Some on the boat were repeat attendees. I can tell you the experience was so good, I want the exact same location, boat and crew again! Thank you Captain Brad, Scuba Joe and another fellow, Nate, who was helping the divers. Amazing experience!

The staff were polite and helpful, and the jet skis were in good condition and worked well. The area to jet ski in was a nice, big area that allowed for a lot of free play.

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.

We placed a wager at the beginning of our tour that if he found us a manatee he would get an extra tip; and he did! Captain Rob was wonderful with our 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter.

He taught us a lot of fun facts about the area and native plants/animals. If we ever take a trip to the Keys again this would be at the top of our to do list!
