The highlight of our trip. The staff is amazing. They made sure we were able to go out even though the weather wasn't cooperating! They know their stuff. Post poned our departure and had amazing weather and sunset to die for. Our captain, Heather, was awesome. She was friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we had the best experience. Thank you Lazy Dog!

Capt. Nicole was excellent as well as her dog, "Ernie." Very relaxing trip and what made it much better was the fact that they take kayaks and paddleboards for your use.
Best day on Key West

Nicole was excellent. Very informative and new all the cool spots. Parking was easy and the boat was right there. She took us around the mangroves and gave us a nice cayak to explore on our own. Very nice pontoon boat with a leisurely drive back and forth. What a great day, Thanks so very much!!!
Wonderful Day!

Lindsay did a great job keeping our group entertained. Water and Mangroves were beautiful. Paddle boarding was a blast and tougher than it looked.

Très belle excursion ! Programme à la carte selon les envies du groupe (kayak, paddle, snorkeling, bancs de sable…)
Lindsey est formidable et prend soin de ses hôtes, elle a à cœur qu’ils passent les meilleurs moments possibles. Nous avons vraiment apprécié son professionnalisme et sa gentillesse. Nous avons passé de superbes moments dans un lieu paradisiaque.
