Ozello Keys Marina
This family-owned operation clearly knows how to make people feel welcome on the water. Emily stands out in multiple reviews for her exceptional customer service, handling everything from flexible rebooking to cheerful equipment setup. The various captains (Carlos, Billy, Gary, Chris) each bring real expertise and patience, whether you're scalloping for the first time or heading out to spot manatees. Guests consistently mention knowledgeable guides who adjust plans based on conditions and go the extra mile, like pulling out different sized gear or helping with the harvest. The wildlife viewing delivers. People routinely spot manatees (sometimes 20+), plus the occasional alligator and other critters. The location offers both easy kayak access to springs and scalloping adventures, with most paddlers finding it a manageable 20-30 minute trip to the good spots. One negative review mentions overhearing unprofessional comments from staff, which stands out against overwhelmingly positive feedback. Overall, the combination of quality equipment, helpful team members, and great wildlife encounters makes this a solid choice for your water adventure.
