I am so horrible and forgot his name. I wanted to give him a shout out. I should have written this review sooner. It was only a month ago. Anyway, our pilot gave us a smooth ride and made us feel safe from the start. We took the 20 min ride. Well worth it but I would have gone longer had I known how awesome it would be. For those of you afraid to try, it feels like you are floating in the air. So smooth. Better than flying in a plane. Bucket list item....checked off!

He tried his best to get us to see everything we could. We saw manatee, sharks, turtles, barracuda, sting rays, & reefs. The view the entire time was so beautiful. Didn't even seem real.

Go check out his website and FB company pages.. so much there to see... Tons of info and pictures!

We fished 5 to 6 spots and caught fish at every spot. We use different techniques per location and it was fun to learn new methods to catch fish. His boat and equipment are top notch. His ability to teach the youngest kids how to catch fish makes it enjoyable for everyone on board. No need to be a PHD in angling Kevin Will get fish in the boat and enough fish for a meal. Go see Kevin if you are in Marathon for an enjoyable fishing day.

It's our first time to Duck Cay and I was looking for a boat charter for the day, I was referred to…read morea group that was totally booked and asked the captain if he knew of anyone else that did something other than fishing and he said these "new guys" are at the Faro Blanco Marina and they have a new boat and are very nice. So I gave them a call and I am so glad that the other place was booked up because this is by far the best charter I've ever been on. We snorkeled, had snacks, learned how to sail (a bit) and it was just amazing. My ten year old twins want me to book again tomorrow. Captain Scott and skipper Brody are outstanding. They made our day! Fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels and great sailing. What more can you ask for! Book with these guys! You won't regret it! Cannot beat the experience of the service. Don't go anywhere else! I'll be booking another tour, hopefully before we leave to return home, my husband had to miss it and after he heard about it from us, he wants to go :). Don't miss out on these guys!

Second , he has impeccable details to boating safety guidelines. You feel like you are in good hands with Captain Scott as he navigates the ocean.

Once you pay for time slot you get on trolley ( or you can walk, bike the bridge and just pay entrance fee when you get there). It's a 15 min ride onto the island from bridge. Our drivers name was Julie.. she told us about island and what to expect when we get there.. if you come by trolley you are confined to time slot to get the trolley back I think it's 2 hrs.. we had time to snorkel by dock and go gift shop and walk around the multiple buildings and get the history. They have restrooms where you can change clothes which we did. Also water fountains to fill your water bottle because it's hot in summer you need to hydrate! CT was our greeter to island she gave us choice to do guided tour or self guided.. we self guided because we wanted to snorkel.. they do not furnish snorkel equipment you must bring in bag to island so keep that in mind but you can just swim if you want. The water was very refreshing! Toward end of our stay here CT was nice enough to allow us to get cut fish pieces and feed the fish including a nurse shark.. we enjoyed this place wished we had taken an e-bike and stayed awhile because it's very peaceful and could have spent more time snorkeling.. we will next time! I highly recommend taking trip here.. big part of the keys history

The trails were peaceful and easy to walk with toddlers, and the main lookout point was definitely the highlight. The views alone made the stop worthwhile. The museum had some informative displays about local history and the environment, which was a nice addition even though our kids were more focused on walking the paths. Since we arrived later in the afternoon, we didn't get to explore everything, so I'd recommend visiting earlier in the day if you can. Still, it was a pleasant, low-key outing and a solid stop if you're in the Marathon area.

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!
