Check meetup point before you arrive from cruise
Lindsay_H, October 2026
There weren’t enough people who booked on our day at the spot so we got moved to a different pick up point but it turned out really good! We saw sea turtles and sting rays. Brayson was a good captain!
Response from the operator · Hope S Thank you for your flexibility in moving on the shared charter! So glad you enjoyed the day!

Terrible
RJB275, October 2026
the boat was a rusted fishing boat, with only a captain no other crew member, we snorkeled at Bucks Island for 45 minutes, stopped over a sunken ship that was supposedly 40 ft down, given 8 minutes to view, was able to view nothing. The captain drove the boat to the very large rocky shoreline where he told us we had to jump off the 4 ft bow into the rocky shoreline. Both myself and my husband are 74 years old and I told him I preferred to stay on the boat. He made us jump and left us there for 1 1/2 hours. When he returned it was getting dark and we were the only ones at the beach. Then he asked for a 20% tip stating he wasn't paid by the owner but work for gratuities like a bar tender. I would absolutely stay away from this tour. So very disappointed!
Response from the operator · Hope S Thank you for your feedback Mr. Raymond Brown. We do regret that you did not enjoy your time on the shared charter. Your boat is not a rusty fishing boat, but a 2019 36' Twinvee Powercat which recently was completely remodelled. We do bring you close into the beach and unfortunately can not control the shoreline. Perhaps a private sailing catamaran with a mate to help you snorkel and get ashore would be a better fit next time.

Will be BAAAAAACK
V7830MIdanielc, October 2026
I believe the captain's name was Captain Brayson, phenomal work, locations were fantastic, saw some turtles, baracuda, ray. Meeting point was great, Brayson is quick, down to earth, funny, tipped him well. As someone who used to work in service industry, people complaining about tipping or anything here are out of touch with the hard working people of today. Scheduling was easy, punctual, 100% will be back
Response from the operator · Hope S Wonderful! And many thanks for taking great care of Captain Brayson!

Fun, cool day with Capt Alex
Katie_M, September 2026
We had an awesome day with Capt Alex. We went out on one of the smaller power catamarans. Snorkeled at Gr. St. James and Lavongo Key. Saw turtles, rays, all kinds of reef fish and corals up close. Boat was comfortable, music and vibes were good, all the space filled with interesting and engaging conversations. Trip was 4hrs and didn’t feel a minute too long.
10/10 would recommend.
Response from the operator · Hope S We are so glad you joined us (I knew you'd like this charter for all our sea friends)! We hope to SEA you again next time!
