Small group sizes are a defining feature here, with most guests noting they had fewer than 15 people on board. The crew, frequently mentioned by name including Andrew, Charlie, Captain Mo, and Libby, are marine biologists who genuinely geek out over the local ecosystem. Dolphins, turtles, sharks, and reef fish show up regularly across reviews, and the guides go out of their way to find wildlife even when it falls outside the official itinerary. The experience skews educational and relaxed rather than rowdy, which clearly resonates with most guests. Repeat visitors are common, and several reviewers mentioned booking a second or third trip. One French-language review noted a language barrier for non-English speakers, worth keeping in mind if that applies to your group. Snacks like fruit and hummus are typically provided, a small but appreciated touch that comes up more than once.
The highlight of our Key West trip. Well worth the slightly extra cost compared to the busier “party” snorkel charters. It was essentially a private charter with a guided snorkel experience, as we were two of thirteen people on the boat. Andrew and Charlie were awesome and specifically took us to the best spots compared to other boats. They have a marine biology background to point out every individual thing at the reef. Also went out of their way to make sure we could find dolphins and explain facts about them. We were able to find some on the way back from snorkeling. Would recommend this company to anyone!
