Charter boats are a dime a dozen in the Florida Keys but Blu Dog Charters is a needle in a haystack. After looking through pages and pages of boats and reviews, I found Blu Dog Charters and booked a lobster snorkeling trip. Captain Steve was an exceptional guide who had tons of knowledge of the area and the waters. Pointing out cool places and facts along the ride to the lobster grounds. After a quick lesson on how to lobster, we were in the water having a blast. Although we only got 1 keeper lobster, the entire experience, thanks to Captain Steve, was well worth it. Please book any of the experiences they offer you won't regret it.
