Captain Mike has built a strong reputation as a knowledgeable, safety-conscious captain who genuinely cares about his guests' experience. He's great with kids, patient with large groups, and skilled at reading wind and tide conditions to find the best beaches and sandbars on any given day. The boat itself is a spacious 30-footer kept impressively clean, and extras like paddleboards, floating rafts, and beach chairs are included. Trips range from sandbar and snorkeling excursions to sunset cruises and island beach days, with popular stops at Boca Grande Key and nearby sandbars. Guests have spotted dolphins, sea turtles, stingrays, and even baby sharks along the way. Mike's flexibility is a recurring theme, with last-minute bookings accommodated and itineraries adjusted to suit the group. For a private, personal day on the water in Key West, this one is hard to beat.
Absolutely the best experience possible, highlight of our trip! The captain was a pleasure, and took us to several amazing locations, and was a pleasure to chat with. On our return trip he took us directly to where the dolphins were playing, then lined us up just right for an incredible sunset view.
