The crew members—including Matt, Mike, Jason, Jody, Eric, and Joel—earn enthusiastic praise in nearly every review for being friendly, professional, and genuinely making the difference between a good day and a great one. Their knowledge and warm hospitality stand out as the defining characteristic of these trips. The snorkeling at Sombrero Reef impresses visitors with colorful fish, nurse sharks, and rays, while the sandbar stops and sunset cruises round out popular combo tours. First-time snorkelers consistently report feeling comfortable and well-guided throughout their adventures. The boats and equipment get high marks for cleanliness and quality. Guests frequently mention planning return visits or making these trips an annual tradition, which speaks volumes about the experience you can expect.

    We had the most amazing time with Sole Water Sports—an experience our whole family will never forget! From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and incredibly family-friendly. The snorkeling was absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life that made us feel like we were swimming in a postcard. The sandbar stop was equally magical—a perfect place to relax, take in the scenery, and splash around in the shallow water. A HUGE shoutout to Captain Mikey and Jen—they were the absolute best! Warm, welcoming, and full of local knowledge, they made everyone feel safe and comfortable while still keeping the vibe fun and exciting. You can really tell they love what they do, and their energy made the whole trip that much more special.
