Islamorada private boat sailing - Superb experience with Meg. We just loved it and Meg made it even better. We are really grateful 🥰. The spots where we went are beautiful because it Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic Ocean. San Pedro wreck and Indian creek island. We truly recommend KeyZ Charters and Meg.

Half day private tour with our dog - My husband and I took our German Shepherd out for a half day with Captain Meg. She was great! Very helpful and patient while our dog got acclimated. We were dodging rain, but Meg masterfully tracked the storms to help us avoid raindrops and make the most of our time. Highly recommend!

Great guide! Beautiful waters, tons of wildlife! - Myself, my husband, and four sons ages 11-17 took this half day trip to get out on the water, and we loved this boat outing! Henry quickly made us feel welcome and his knowledge of boating and the area made me feel like we were in great hands. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife, and the Keys in general, and knew all the places to take us. We snorkeled at the lighthouse, saw tons of birds, a crocodile, and so many other things👍🏼 this was a great way to end our trip to the Keys!

Half Day Private Boat Tour / Snorkeling - We had a great time on our Half Day Private Boat Tour with Jessie. Jessie was super friendly, knowledgeable a good boat captain and tour guide. I took the family and we snorkeled on Alligator Reef and Chicks and Hens reef. We saw a large dolphin pod off Alligator reef and we stopped in the mangroves to see a manatee just hanging out under the mangrove trees. A fun boat ride to each location and really good to be on a private tour with Jessie.
Thanks Jessie we had a great time with you on the private boat tour around points in Islamorada. We found that a number of locals were familar with you too ... you are popular.

A “must” during your keys trip - My friend and I went out with captain Sam this week and all I can say is “wow!” Captain Sam is a master behind the wheel and knows all the good spots for snorkeling and sightseeing. Captain Sam is native to the keys and it shows- excellent trip and would highly recommend!

Family Sunset cruise - Our sunset cruise was awesome. Samantha is so knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. The mangrove tour was amazing. Unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins but would definitely cruise with Samantha again.

Great way to see the ocean around Islamorada - My husband and I had a great time with Samantha on this trip! She took us to great locations around Islamorada. We saw manatees, dolphins, all kinds of fish, a ship wreck, then mangroves and at the end of the trip she set up the boat to have the dolphins surf our wake. It was a truly amazing trip. In addition, Samantha is very knowledgable about the ocean and the wildlife in the keys. We highly recommend this trip and try to book it with Samantha.

Great 3-hour snorkeling/eco-tour combo for 2! - We had a great time on our private 3-hour snorkeling/eco-tour combo adventure. We saw tons of vibrantly colored fish and sea turtles while snorkling at Cheeca Rocks, and a brown shark and lots of pretty birds among the mangroves during the eco-tour. Captain Sam is very knowledgeable about the water, the sea-life, the birds and the vegetation. She was very diligent about keeping an eye on the weather, days before and during our adventure, to make sure the winds and rain did not spoil anything. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area.
