Yes. Snorkeling instruction is included along with snorkeling equipment and flotation gear.
Smalls, Hadden, and the rest of the crew have built a serious reputation for making people feel welcome on the water. The vibe is relaxed and judgment-free, with most trips centered around snorkeling at the coral reef, walking a sandbar ten miles offshore, or simply soaking up the sun on the catamaran. Wildlife sightings, including sharks, dolphins, and turtles, come up often enough to feel like a genuine bonus rather than a lucky fluke. The all-male day sail draws a loyal crowd, with plenty of repeat visitors and couples celebrating special trips. Guests consistently praise the crew's energy and attentiveness, and the food and drink offerings get strong marks too. If you're on the fence, the reviews here make a pretty clear case to just go ahead and book it.
We had such a great experience with the BluQ catamaran charter in Key West and would absolutely recommend it. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The crew was professional, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe the entire time. We chose the sandbar / snorkeling / sunset evening charter and are so glad we did. The water in July was crystal clear, warm, and beautiful, and it made for such a fun and relaxing afternoon. This was the men’s-only clothing-optional charter, but at no point did we feel pressured or obligated to take our clothes off, which I really appreciated. It felt very laid-back, respectful, and comfortable. The snacks on board were light, fresh, and perfect for staying hydrated in the heat, and the location was super convenient. Since it was July 4th, the captain even took us under the fireworks on the way back to the marina, which was such an unforgettable touch and made the whole experience even more special. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our Key West trip. If you’re considering booking, do it — and definitely consider supporting this queer-owned business. Pro tip: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and a couple extra changes of clothes because you’ll want to be comfortable for the full experience My husband and I are basically honorary locals to the island and will definitely include this during our several trip trips to Key West every year. Make sure to tip your staff accordingly I remember all the hard work they do! If you're not someone who is a big drinker, this was a great option as well. Drinks are not included however you can bring them on. The afternoon group of men that we traveled with were very laid-back, not sure about what the experience is like during the early morning charters.
