This was a fantastic tour. You get to experience a little bit of everything on the water that you wouldn’t normally get to in Key West. Captain Tim gives you some Key West history and takes you on adventures only a local would know.

Thanksgiving Eve Adventure in Key West!!

Camie_W, Nov 2023

Being out on the water with NATIVE SUN charters was agreeably, between the 3 couples who went on this experience, the Highlight of our Thanksgiving Trip! Captain Tim is a fun, knowledgeable, personable guy who enjoys making people happy and for you to enjoy your time out on the ocean. One of our wishes was to go snorkeling, but due to weather with wind and a rainstorm the previous day, the water was still churned up and hadn’t settled back to clear yet, that was not an option thanks to Mother Nature! We then opted for the sandbar swim. On our way there we were unexpectedly greeted by Dolphins which was a complete surprise even to Captain Tim! He said they are usually miles away from where we saw them!! They played in the water in front of us and then swam alongside his boat with us….. one even blew salt water through their blowhole onto the face of one of our party as she leaned over the edge of the boat as she watched them!! We headed off to the sandbar and swam for a bit in the gently rolling ocean. Upon climbing back onto the boat the Dolphins came to us and played some more with their breaching and playfully nudging each other! It was Awesome!! We ended our Special Day by having dinner at a Marina Restaurant suggested by Tim! Wonderful Wonderful Day! Thanks Tim!! ( FYI the information provided by aviator is not 100% accurate on details for this event but did not dampen our fun in any way! Just needs some attention to make it correct- I think I was even given the wrong slip #!)

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thanks again Camie! What a fun group you all were!I I agree that was a spectacular dolphin show! Hope your holiday are going great and hope to see you all again! Take care! Captain Tim

Best Boat Day with Fun Water Activities

Sarah_S, Aug 2023

You can’t go wrong with this excursion! Captain Tim was an excellent captain and guide!! His boat and the service he provided were top notch. All of the equipment was in great condition, and he was very knowledgeable on the best places to go for the water activities we wanted to partake in. We would love to do this again the next time we’re in Key West!

The best of Key West

Tommy_L, Aug 2023

Great trip With an amazing captain Tim. The Captain let us decide what to do, we choose fishing, snokeling, jumping from the boat and an amazing Sand Bar With katayaking in the mangroves looking at Stingrays and baby sharks and lots of fish. Highly recomend Captain Tim to everyone. We will be back❤️

Awesome tour :)

Rovena_C, Jul 2023

Thank you Captain Tim for an amazing trip! It was our first time in Key West and this was the highlight of our trip. The boat was big enough for our party of five and Captain Tim was gracious enough to demonstrate snorkeling for my husband who was snorkeling for the first time and even allowed us to use his gear. He was very patient, kind and knowledgeable about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on the sandbar, using the kayaks and paddle board as well. Would definitely recommend this tour and Captain Tim!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

It was my pleasure having your wonderful family out! I love watching people try new things and enjoying them! Take care and come back soon! Captain Tim

Amazing Experience

Megan_S, Jun 2023

Captain Tim was great. He catered the whole event to things we wanted to do. We fished, snorkeled, kayaked and hung out on a sand barge to lounge and swim. He provided all the things we needed to gave a fun trip.

Boat tour

Lisa_G, Feb 2023

Most memorable parts were being with family. Captain Tim was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. Not sure we were expecting what we got-had not planned on spending 2 hours standing on a sandbar but we had fun sitting in the boat enjoying the scenery and laughing.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thanks for your review! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I let the guests plan the trip and do what ever they want for how long they want weather and physical limitations permitting. The sandbar is a popular place most people really enjoy but if there was something different you wanted to do I would of happily accommodated. Thanks again and take care. Captain Tim

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Summer_H, Dec 2022

Captain Tim was amazing! Very welcoming, friendly and we learned a lot about the island. We stopped to kayak on a super cool sandbar and had a ton of laughs. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thanks again so much! What a wonderful family you have! It was our pleasure showing you our little island! Have a Happy New Year!

Great afternoon on the water

H_L, Dec 2022

We had a great afternoon on the water with Captain Tim. He graciously contacted us to reschedule when the weather was poor for the day we had planned. The trip is individualized to your interest, and he gave a great tour before we anchored and played with kayaks, SUP and snorkels in a lovely, protected sandbar. We had a great time and I would recommend taking a trip with Captain Tim.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thanks so much! I had a great time with you all! I wish you all the best in the New Year and hope you make it back down real soon! Captain Tim
