My husband and I went out with Mike twice last week…read more I REALLY love snorkeling but hate those crowded party boats, so I was looking for a more personalized way to go. Most charter boats seem to be in the $500+ range for a half day. Mike charges not by the hours but by the number of people, taking 2-6 per trip. So, just two of us for a snorkeling trip was just $160. I consider that a real bargain for having a boat all to ourselves! The first day we were to go snorkeling the conditions were not good for it. The water was too choppy and cloudy. Mike suggested a sunset cruise. We accepted. He will let you take whatever food or drink aboard that you want. We didn't have anything but sure wished we had some wine and cheese for the beautiful evening. The horizon was cloudy and we didn't expect much of a sunset, but Mike kept saying "wait and see". Sure enough, there was one opening in the clouds exactly where the sun was setting. It was gorgeous. We even saw the rare and infamous Green Flash! The two hour trip was $110. We were to try a snorkeling trip again two days later, but weather still was not good. But Mike kept in touch with us and as things improved he let us know when it would be good to go. He easily could have taken us to the site at our first scheduled time and said "oh well, not my fault the water is cloudy and choppy for snorkeling," but he wanted us to have a great experience so waited until the time was right. He is not out to steal your money, he honestly wants you to have the best time possible! Again, sure enough, Mike took us to the reef at exactly the right time! The water was calm and clear and we had one of our best snorkeling experiences ever anywhere in the world. When we got out of the water some squalls were appearing. Mike threaded us through them expertly on our way back in. Mike is extremely in tune with the tides, the weather, the moon. He has sailed all over the world for all his life. He will take you out when YOU want to go. No set schedules. We hope to sail with Mike again someday!

The boats I rented were older, as is true with most rentals throughout the Keys. However, they are very well maintained, and the engines ran exceptionally well and the GPS and marine VHF worked perfectly. The waters around the Islamorada location were absolutely beautiful. I am going to try to rent again before we head back north, and we will definitely be back again next year! Thanks Mike and Bobby for a great experience. Bob H.

I'm a little late on my review, but I really wanted to make sure I gave a shoutout to Sand Dollar…read moreCharters in New Smyrna Beach because they were fantastic! My friends and I rented a pontoon boat back in August, and I'll definitely be going back to them whenever I'm in the area. Booking online was super easy, and even though they were crazy busy when we arrived (we're talking full-on running around getting everyone set up!), they were still friendly, helpful, and apologetic about the short wait -- which was only about 15 minutes. They took the time to go over everything with us and gave great directions for getting to Disappearing Island, even providing a map. The boat itself was spacious, clean, and easy to handle. The docks were wide and simple to pull in and out of, and the location was perfect -- right in the middle of the Intracoastal, making it easy to head either north or south to explore, find islands, or stop at nearby bars and restaurants. The only small downside was parking -- it's a bit limited, and you have to park a few blocks away. But we just unloaded at the dock first, then parked the car, no big deal. A slightly better sign would help folks like me (the "bubble heads" ) find the place faster, but once you're there, it's smooth sailing! Highly recommend Sand Dollar Charters in New Smyrna Beach -- friendly people, clean boats, and a great experience all around!
