Fabulous Snorkeling Excursion - Brandon and Sarah were excellent! The reef was beautiful as was the boat ride going to and from it. Both were very knowledgeable and kind, happy to chat and very genuine people. We saw tons of fish/ocean life and even dolphins and sea turtles on our way back in.

Better than a Carnival Tour - Booked through Viator because our ship didn’t offer much to choose from. Got lucky and our group of 4 had the whole boat to ourselves- and it didn’t change the tour any! Eric and Sara were awesome and made the trip top notch.

Fun snorkeling adventure at Key West reef - Short safety talk at the beginning of the activity made me feel well-prepared.
It was about an hour of beautiful sailing to the reef and an hour back. We spent an hour at the reef. Initially fairly clear, but gradually became more silty with boat traffic...but that's just the nature of these activities. A moderate amount of fish and other marine life.
Eric and Sarah were a great captain and first mate. Safety-oriented, helpful, and friendly.

Great experience! - We had a fantastic time on the sail and snorkel. It was a little choppy the day we were out, but the captain and mate were super helpful and made sure everyone was having a good experience. I would definitely do this trip again!

Fabulous! Absolutely would do again! - Eric and Sarah did such an amazing job!! They explained everything thoroughly and were very patient with our two first time snorkelers. Even though it was very windy and the waves were choppy, they had extra float noodles for us, and we saw all kinds of beautiful fish! The boat was not crowded at all, so there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and be comfortable on the boat and in the water.

Amazing - Large 54 foot sailing boat with a small crowd means plenty of room to maneuver and enjoy your one hour trip to the diving reef.
Captain Brian and Sarah were fun and informative on our trip ready to answer all your questions.
You snorkel for a hour at a reef that offers plenty of sightings of different species of fish.
Then a one hour trip back maybe with sails up or not depending on the weather. You can sip a beer or wine on your way back as you enjoy many sightings of massive sea turtles in the clear green seas!

What, no sails? - The boat is big & beautiful especially when there’s only 6 passengers. Crew Sarah & Eric were very pleasant and knowledgeable. The huge disappointment was that we motored out to the reef and back even though it was perfect conditions for sailing. In fact, by the looks of it, that boat has not been under sale for quite some time! I would almost go, as far to say that this is a case of false advertising. The snorkeling was okay. Although the two people who were first-timers had difficulty swimming to the reef while getting accustomed to their snorkel and ended up returning the boat. Sarah continued to offer beverages and chat with all passengers the entire time. Lovely lady.

Disappointed - Because of wind we got cancelled. Understandable but I wish we had been given notice instead of standing on the dock with 7 excited children and no boat. We were offered a sail boat ride but they said too rough to snorkel. The Catamarans were still going out — next time I know.
