Don't let the fact that she has less than 10 reviews fool you. Captain Victoria has been giving…read moretours in the Keys for more than 35 years. In fact, we just went a couple of weeks ago, my second time with her - after my first trip with you 21 years ago!! And it was way better than the first! She was recommended to me by my colleague who worked as the Environmental Horticulture agent in Monroe County, so he got around and knew folks. He was completely correct that Captain Vicki (as she was known then) was on top of her game. I went with two HS friends and it capped off a very memorable road trip. Fast forward to Sunday morning (July 10), when I'm wondering how in the world I'm going to figure out a snorkeling trip for my kid on our one day in Key West and we're up late (around 9:30 am). So of course, I check Yelp to figure out of all the brochures I have from the kiosks, which company do I have the best shot with. Imagine my surprise when I saw Dancing Dolphins. I REMEMBERED that aspect of her tour. So I took a chance, dropped her a message off her site - and not more than 5 minutes later, I had a phone call. Miracle of Miracles, she had the morning free. 45 minutes later, we met her First Mate, Erin, on the dock and away we went! We really didn't have an idea of what we wanted to do beyond snorkel, so Capt Vicki filled in the rest. She isn't kidding when she says that the Dolphins know her call sign. Three minutes after she put it out there, we had mother and baby come to say hello - we were very concerned when they were under the boat as we were moving. They didn't stay long, Vicki seemed to think they took a break from fishing, but it was way cool that they were so close to the boat. The snorkeling was marvelous! Thankfully, I had invested in a pair of prescription goggles, so I fulfilled a bucket list item to snorkel the reef and be able to see. I couldn't believe how many lobster were hiding. And to see this cobalt blue welk making a meal of one was just fascinating. There were the typical angel fish and wrasses, sea urchins and coral (though you could see how Florida's reefs have taken a beating). It was so way cool to see a 5 foot ray come whizzing by! Another special point for Erin and Vicki is that they work with people with mobility issues. So they had an idea of how to get Grandma (81 years young) into the water once she decided to go for it. Erin did an outstanding job of accompanying her so she wasn't afraid and felt secure. And Erin also provided all the pictures we would want, all included in the cost of the charter. We were out for four hours, the perfect time. We'll definitely be back. Count yourself lucky if you can score a charter with these gals. They work primarily on word of mouth, so like I said, don't let the small number of reviews fool you. They're the best kept secret in the lower Keys! Not everyone can afford a charter, but if you have four to six people, it's so worth it to book them as a charter for the personal touch.

Waivers were done digitally, so everything was set once we got to the boat. Parking and directions were simple, which says a lot in Key West. Once we boarded, they helped us every step of the way. The dive briefing was thorough, the captain did a great job, and our guide/DM Scott was very effective. We did a two tank dive, so the second dive was a shallow reef. Visibility wasn't great, but we made the most of it and had a fantastic second dive as well. I haven't dive with all of the operators down in KW, but I would have no problem recommending divers to SNUBA. Thanks for the great dive and team!

This is a family-run business and you can feel that local, small-town pride from the moment you step on the boat. What impressed me most wasn't just the wildlife--though seeing bottle-nosed dolphins and sharks in their natural habitat was incredible--it was the professional camaraderie. Even though there are other tour companies out there, the captains are in constant communication, sharing sightings and even helping each other out with gear or debris in the water. It's rare to see that kind of collective stewardship in a competitive industry. The tour is also deeply educational. The guide did a fantastic job dispelling myths about sharks and explaining the biology of the animals (like the dermal denticles on their skin) with a level of respect that shows they aren't just using nature for a paycheck--they are actively protecting it. If you want an authentic, respectful, and insightful look at the Florida Keys' ecosystem, this tour is a must. I captured a large portion of our tour--including the sharks and dolphins--starting at the 2:26 mark in my vlog here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og6BrVsB2QM
