If you were looking for a personalized experience, Amazing vibes, Fantastic Eco knowledge coupled with good music, then book this snorkeling excursion.

We wanted to do some snorkeling and found Floridays on the TripAdvisor website. We thought the…read moreprice was reasonable for the amount of time (3 hours, total with 1 hour of snorkeling). We are staying in Islamorada, so it took us just about two hours to drive to Key West. If you're not staying in Key West, one must take the driving time into consideration, as traffic can travel pretty slowly sometimes... Our captain was Lanier and Parker was first mate. They both did a great job of taking care of us. Lanier offered really helpful information and was great at answering our questions as he steered us to the reef. Parker was really nice and made us feel welcome with conversation and drinks. Once we got to the reef, the snorkeling was really great! I don't have very good eyesight, so I bought some prescription goggles and I was not disappointed. I saw many different kinds of colorful fish, including some that liked to swim pretty close to me. It was a bit windy, so there were some waves that eventually had me feeling slightly queasy, but I was still able to snorkel for 40 - 50 minutes. Unfortunately, my wife actually did get seasick and Parker was super sweet to aid her and a handful of the other guests who got seasick. Her ice on the neck trick seemed to really help us "land lubbers" :) If you're in Key West and want to see some beautiful fish, I would definitely go with Floridays!

We wanted to do something special and memorable for our oldest son's college graduation this year…read moreand combine it with our family summer vacation. Being from the central US, most vacations in the past have been mountain/cabin camping and motorcycle riding trips. Renting a 48 ft catamaran and having 8 people, plus captain and skipper in tight quarters was a bit of an unknown. However, by the time we completed our 2-day trip, every one of our family and friends couldn't stop talking about how fantastic the experience was. Before the trip, Captain Terry Mentor reached out to me and asked if there was a particular plan I had in mind. I indicated we'd like to do some snorkeling, island exploring and if the winds permitted, learn the ropes of sailing. Once on board and under way, Captain Terry and skipper Troy were great. For our two-day trip, including two nights at anchor, we headed toward the Marquesas Keys, about 20 miles west of Key West. On the way there we stopped at several different reefs and had a fantastic time with the family snorkeling. We say rays, dolphins, hammer heads, sea turtles and lots of fish. The first night the ocean was absolute glass, and we viewed the beauty of the sun setting into the ocean. A couple of the kids even slept out on the trampoline. The next morning we experienced the sunrise and another day of snorkeling and exploration. In the afternoon, skipper Troy lowered the dingy into the water and took us onto one of the islands. In the shallow waters we saw some sand sharks and then traveled into the central lagoon of the island. Later we visited a shipwreck and explored the remains. Each night Captain Terry and Skipper Troy were part of the family games and storytelling, they fit in nicely. The initial boat check-in and final check-out process went smoothly and everything, including the boat were as advertised. All in all, this was a unique family experience away from it all with beauty, adventure and encounters with unique marine life we will remember for years to some. We would all do it again, only next time we would go out longer. Thank you Blue Ocean Yacht Charters and Captain Terry!

This will definitely be a must do anytime we go back to Key West. We booked a snorkel trip from one of the regular tourist boats the day before. It was crowded, there wasn't enough seating, and it rained the whole hour back to the marina with no where to go to get away from it. I wish we would have found out about the After Hours sooner! We can't wait to do a snorkel charter with them. Trust me when I say the experience is worth every penny!
