Highlights
  • Thai Island Restaurant - On this family-friendly experience, we venture out to balmy Backcountry waters to snorkel in Key West’s wildlife sanctuary before searching the Gulf of Mexico for Key West’s wild dolphins at play.

The adventure starts on our Seabreeze catamaran, a 45ft Corinthian powercat, where you’ll have plenty of space to relax under some covered shade while our local crew shares their knowledge of the ecology and wildlife of Key West. You’ll also have plenty of time to ask questions and gain new insights into our tropical paradise!

Jump in and discover the natural beauty under the sea with starfish, rays, turtles, conch, corals, sponges, and tropical fish. We will always bring you to the best snorkel spot of the day – from the artificial reef at Archer Key to the famous Great Florida Reef, the only natural reef located in the continental United States!

Every trip is different as we cruise along searching for dolphins and appreciating whatever Mother Nature offers up on any given day: Dolphins, eagle rays, sea turtles, ospreys, frigate birds, and migratory birds. During this time you’ll observe dolphins cavorting in their natural habitat among deserted tropical islands.

Additional Information

As natives of this locality, our boat captains have an intimate familiarity with the watersypaces surrounding Key West, akin to their own homes. They will consistently guide you to the top snorkeling location of the day and furnish specialized guidance on the most effective use of our equipment. We even make sure to have towels ready for you - all that’s required from your end is your arrival in a swimsuit!

Barefoot Billy's was the best experience!!! - We absolutely loved this excursion! Marta and Scott were wonderful, very informative and helpful. My kids had fun snorkeling and then they took us far enough to see the dolphins which I was thrilled to see! We were on the water for 3 1/2 hours on a beautiful day. They had coolers of water, soda and a mix of beer and hard seltzer, Marta came around and offered us plenty of drinks for the ride home! We had an absolute ball! I would highly recommend them!!!

One of the best trips we have been on - We had an amazing time, Captain Scott and Marta were the best. We have never seen so many dolphins so close to us, they were right next to the boat. The snorkeling was great, saw some jelly's, but we stayed away from them,lol. We will definetly have to do this trip again, highly recomend.

Great Afternoon on the Ocean - Afternoon was just as promised. Saw lots of dolphins, plenty of sea life, even sharks. Smaller group of people made for lots of conversations and plenty of room. Extremely knowledgeable and entertaining staff, too! Thank you!

Best bang for your buck - 10/10 recommend the 1 pm dolphin watching and snorkeling. Captain Scott and Marta were great very knowledgeable and informative during the trip. The water was super clear and sharks and a large assortment of fish were spotted after snorkeling began. Don’t forget the dolphins because there was a small pod we stopped to watch beforehand.

Dolphin and snorkeling adventure - Awesome trip snorkeling and dolphin watching! Saw a ton of dolphins and some with their babies. The weather was perfect and our hosts were fantastic. Great time for everyone! Even saw sea turtles. The water was a little rough which is the only reason I didn’t give it a straight 5. Obviously nothing anyone can control. Had a blast!

Not much to see - I have done snorkeling all over the world and found Key West as only average. While the weather was perfect and the water temperature ideal, the site had little color in the coral and they were few fish. I did see a Goliath Grouper for the first time and that made the trip worthwhile.
