I went with 3 friends, the resort was very clean and the staff were friendly. The houseboat was…read morecomfortable and had all the amenities required. 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!

This is NOT the place to stay if you like to be catered to, have daily housekeeping, or like…read moresomeone to bring you breakfast in bed. 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!

We had the most amazing day with Riley. He was an absolute blast! He was very funny and friendly…read more Went out with my husband, me, and our 2 boys (8 & 11). Riley knew just how to put the kids into fish and handled them so well! (Both boys have ADHD and Riley was so patient!) He listened and carried on a conversation with our youngest for quite some time. Put us right on barracuda, cobia, sharks, and PERMIT!! Both kids said they had "the best day ever!" and wanted to know when we could go back and fish with Riley again. :)

I'll just say, DON'T BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE. Josh is hands down the best guide in all of the keys,…read moreand Everglades. 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!!

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!
