Captain Mike is the heart of this operation, and it shows in nearly every review. Families with young kids, groups of teens, couples, and international visitors all come away saying the same thing: he's knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely good at reading what his guests want out of the day. Wildlife sightings are a consistent highlight, with dolphins, nurse sharks, stingrays, manatees, and birds making regular appearances depending on the day. The trips themselves range from quick 2.5-hour sandbar floats to full 6-hour adventures mixing fishing, multiple stops, and sunset views. Mike keeps things flexible, shaping the experience around what each group is hoping for rather than running a fixed route. Repeat bookings show up in the reviews more than once, which says a lot about the overall experience. If you're visiting the Keys and want a private, personalized day on the water, this is a strong choice.
We had a wonderful experience with our sandbar trip! Captain Mike is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions about the different Florida sea life we saw. He pointed out birds, sharks, stingrays, barracudas, and other fish and made sure that our 3 small children also got to see them. He was very personable and even helped entertain the kids. He is incredibly experienced and kept us safe while out on the water. I would absolutely recommend Low Tide Charters to anyone, especially families with small children. I hope to book with them again on our next trip to the Keys!
