    Salty Soul Charters consistently delivers the kind of personalized boat experience that becomes the highlight of people's Key West vacations. Multiple captains get enthusiastic shoutouts, with Captain Jane earning particular praise for her accommodating nature and ability to customize trips on the fly. Whether guests want to snorkel vibrant reefs, explore mangroves, hunt for lobster, or simply float on sandbars in the middle of the gulf, she and the other captains seem genuinely invested in creating the exact vibe people are looking for. Captain Morgan, Jojo, and Chase also receive glowing mentions for their knowledge, patience with first-timers, and easygoing personalities. What really stands out is the flexibility. This isn't a rigid tour schedule where you're rushed from spot to spot. Groups mention starting around 4pm for sunset trips, visiting multiple sandbars when weather permits, and changing locations mid-trip when they felt like switching things up. The boats come equipped with everything you'd need (snorkel gear, coolers with ice, trash bags), and captains happily share local knowledge about marine life and Keys history without being overbearing. Whether you're introducing a baby to the ocean for the first time, trying to catch your first lobster, or just need some "Vitamin Sea," the crew adapts to make it memorable. There are a couple negative reviews without details, but they're overwhelmingly drowned out by people already planning their return trips.

    My family and I had an absolutely amazing day with Salty Soul Charters. I HIGHLY recommend using them. It was a private charter that allowed us to see the dolphins, go snorkeling, fishing, and we even had time to do to a sand bar. You can customize your day however you see fit. Jane catered the day around my small children which was perfect. Jane and her crew are wonderful.
