Highly recommend this experience to friends & family or to anyone who has never snorkeled before. The captain and Parker had such great energy and explained everything clearly we wouldn’t want to have our first snorkel trip with anyone else and the Beautiful views were a plus ! We can’t wait to come back next year !!

Disappointed

JoAnn_T, Mar 2024

Because of wind we got cancelled. Understandable but I wish we had been given notice instead of standing on the dock with 7 excited children and no boat. We were offered a sail boat ride but they said too rough to snorkel. The Catamarans were still going out — next time I know.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

While we always try to foresee weather issues and notify customer as soon as possible, sometimes we must make that decision at the dock as was the case on that day.

Better than a Carnival Tour

Mark_B, Feb 2024

Booked through Viator because our ship didn’t offer much to choose from. Got lucky and our group of 4 had the whole boat to ourselves- and it didn’t change the tour any! Eric and Sara were awesome and made the trip top notch.

Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your trip, we look forward to having you back again soon!

Fun snorkeling adventure at Key West reef

Anthony_B, Jan 2024

Short safety talk at the beginning of the activity made me feel well-prepared. It was about an hour of beautiful sailing to the reef and an hour back. We spent an hour at the reef. Initially fairly clear, but gradually became more silty with boat traffic...but that's just the nature of these activities. A moderate amount of fish and other marine life. Eric and Sarah were a great captain and first mate. Safety-oriented, helpful, and friendly.

What, no sails?

kimgilberti057, Dec 2023

The boat is big & beautiful especially when there’s only 6 passengers. Crew Sarah & Eric were very pleasant and knowledgeable. The huge disappointment was that we motored out to the reef and back even though it was perfect conditions for sailing. In fact, by the looks of it, that boat has not been under sale for quite some time! I would almost go, as far to say that this is a case of false advertising. The snorkeling was okay. Although the two people who were first-timers had difficulty swimming to the reef while getting accustomed to their snorkel and ended up returning the boat. Sarah continued to offer beverages and chat with all passengers the entire time. Lovely lady.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your review! We raise the sails every chance the wind allows! While we would love to be under sail at all times, we do have to adjust according to that days wind direction and speed.

Great Snorkeling Trip

A bit of a letdown.

David_S, Apr 2023

Nice sail out and back. Water not conducive for snorkeling. Should have been more upfront about the conditions on the reef. No one saw any marine life.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Mostly Satisfied

David_P, Aug 2022

The ship is very nice. We only had about 20 in our group which was nice. I saw another ship packed with well over 50. Seemed crowded. The two lady crew was great. Super engaged and helpful with everyone. The weather was stormy and windy. They did give us the option to refund due to weather before hand and we declined. Only negative was the little amount of vibrant color and fish compared to one I’ve done in Cancun. It is possible the weather was stirring up the water. All in all great group and I give em another shot.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your trip. Visibility can be greatly effected by windy weather.

Beautiful midday trip for family

Mark_D, Mar 2022

Perfect length of trip with a 7 and 9 yr olds (out at 10, back by 1pm). Saw a few dolphins on our way out and snorkeled at a shallow reef a few miles offshore. Kaylee and Parker were very knowledgeable and eager to help everyone on board.

Beautiful day
