A great experience - We came as a family of 5, none of us having snorkeled before. Four were strong swimmers and eager to get out in the water. I was a nervous and decided not to go. Captain Brandon and 1st mate Sharla were patient, kind, professional, and friendly. Sharla offered to just let me put my face in the water near the boat and offered to swim to the reef with me as she was heading out for a bit anyway. They were encouraging without pressuring. Especially if you're a first timer, this is for you!

Fantastic crew - The crew on the "Floridays" sailboat were terrific. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to snorkel after becoming violently seasick toward the end of the trip out to the reef, but the crew took good care of me. Safety was the priority, and I could tell that all the actual snorkelers had a great time.

Snorkel excursion - Terrific trip out to the reef for a snorkeling adventure. Captain Brandon and first mate Sara had the perfect amount of fun, safety and education about the area. We had a blast!

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.

Memorial time on a Fri afternoon - What a great experience! We had a small group and Emily and capt. Alex were attentive and fun and answered any questions we had. The day was beautiful and the boat was lovely - we even saw multiple dolphins! We all had like an hr to snorkel and there was a lot of beautiful fish to look at & snapped some fun pics. Good beer & soft drink selection. Fun for everyone !

Large beautiful Sailboat snorkel trip. Can't recommend when high wind and waves. - High winds, high waves. Ours was a beautiful large sail boat. Capt and crew were very nice and professional. CaptTried to get to a island to help block the waves. When we got there, there was a catamaran that took their passengers right up to the reefs where they could swim and snorkel safely. But Capt chose to stay to far out ..large sail boat so guess possible damage to the boat. Pasengers Told to jump into 14-16ft of water and swim to reef area about 50 yards. Did I mention the waves and swells. At 14 feet u couldn't see bottom. This was a small, mostly senior group of people. Four had to be pulled in...including me. Had to swim against current to get back to boat. No passengers made it to the reefs. Three people swam far and snorkeled but never made it to the reef and 3 stayed on boat..the smarter seniors. I would recommend this large sail boat for sun set cruises...not snorkeling. Again, Capt and crew were nice, friendly and professional...but stopped to far out.

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.

Sold long delivered short. - Don’t be fooled by the description, although you may be on a sailboat there won’t be any sailing involved, we Motored downwind to the reef and then crosswind back to the dock at the end of a brief snorkeling stop. The reef where we snorkeled had a lot to see with abundant aquatic life. If you expect a margarita to top off the trip, you’ll be disappointed, the drink selection at the end is limited to water soda, beer and wine.
