If you're looking for an intimate, personalized boat experience in the Keys, this operation stands out for its two captains who clearly know how to show people an incredible time. Captain Anthony and Captain Mike (affectionately called "Pirate Mike" by some guests) each bring their own style, but both consistently deliver smooth rides, local expertise, and a relaxed vibe that makes the day memorable. Multiple families mention returning year after year, which tells you something about the quality you can expect. What really separates this from the bigger tour boats is the attention to detail and flexibility. The equipment is described as top-notch and new, from paddle boards to snorkeling gear. Captains tailor trips based on your group, whether that means finding walkable trails at Mud Key for younger kids or hitting multiple sandbars over a leisurely five-hour charter. Guests rave about the local knowledge, with captains sharing island history and pointing out marine life along the way. Captain Anthony even brings along his four-legged co-captain, Mistic, which adds a fun touch. The consensus is clear: opt for the longer trips if you can (five hours gets mentioned repeatedly as ideal) to really explore different spots without feeling rushed. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, traveling with family, or just want a more personal alternative to crowded tours, this comes highly recommended across the board.

What people are saying

We had the BEST time with Captain Mike! He took our group of five out to both Mud Key and Snipes, and the whole experience was absolutely perfect. Not only was the ride smooth and the views stunning, but Captain Mike also gave us some really interesting history about the islands we visited, which made the trip even more memorable. He was super accommodating, easygoing, and made sure we had everything we needed to just relax and have fun. We come down to the Keys about four times a year, and from now on, we’re only booking our sandbar trips with Captain Mike. Can’t recommend him enough!
