On a boat charter personally arranged by a lovely girl called Claire we had an incredible day at sea. We parked on a sand bar as deep as my knees. Aquablue Adventures brought the boat to Islamorada sandbar, the music and most importantly unlimited shots of Fireballs just in case u need a little warm up. The vibe is ... put a bathing suit, get in the water and relax as you will have arrived in Paradise. Oh and if you forget to pack a lunch bag not to worry - there is a floating food truck parked right there with burgers and hot dogs. The boat was spacious and clean which I appreciated. Customer service was timely and professional.

My husband and I went out with Mike twice last week…read more I REALLY love snorkeling but hate those crowded party boats, so I was looking for a more personalized way to go. Most charter boats seem to be in the $500+ range for a half day. Mike charges not by the hours but by the number of people, taking 2-6 per trip. So, just two of us for a snorkeling trip was just $160. I consider that a real bargain for having a boat all to ourselves! The first day we were to go snorkeling the conditions were not good for it. The water was too choppy and cloudy. Mike suggested a sunset cruise. We accepted. He will let you take whatever food or drink aboard that you want. We didn't have anything but sure wished we had some wine and cheese for the beautiful evening. The horizon was cloudy and we didn't expect much of a sunset, but Mike kept saying "wait and see". Sure enough, there was one opening in the clouds exactly where the sun was setting. It was gorgeous. We even saw the rare and infamous Green Flash! The two hour trip was $110. We were to try a snorkeling trip again two days later, but weather still was not good. But Mike kept in touch with us and as things improved he let us know when it would be good to go. He easily could have taken us to the site at our first scheduled time and said "oh well, not my fault the water is cloudy and choppy for snorkeling," but he wanted us to have a great experience so waited until the time was right. He is not out to steal your money, he honestly wants you to have the best time possible! Again, sure enough, Mike took us to the reef at exactly the right time! The water was calm and clear and we had one of our best snorkeling experiences ever anywhere in the world. When we got out of the water some squalls were appearing. Mike threaded us through them expertly on our way back in. Mike is extremely in tune with the tides, the weather, the moon. He has sailed all over the world for all his life. He will take you out when YOU want to go. No set schedules. We hope to sail with Mike again someday!

Snorkeling is an option but you need to bring your own gear - and life jackets for infants/toddlers if you're bringing one (like we did). However, the prices can't be beat.

We took a mid-day sail (the man is flexible) and under-estimated the strength of the sun, so we'll have to be more watchful with the sunscreen from here on out, but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

It was a great experience. Highly recommend using this company. They love what they do and make you feel confident and safe.

DO NOT TRUST THEM TO REFUND YOUR MONEY!…read more We had to cancel our trip due to an illness. Joe said it was no problem and he'd process our refund in the next week or so. After many messages and weeks later, it was pretty clear they had no intent on refunding our almost $700. In the end I filed a dispute with our credit card company, where he claimed we received the services and I was basically lying. I provided phone messages he left with our office, phone records proving our timeline, day/time stamped text messages, and Yelp reviews showing he'd done the same thing to other people. In the end won the dispute, but I've seen on here that some weren't so fortunate. Don't believe them when they tell you they'll refund your money, even if they're cancelling on you. Don't pre-pay for this trip. I will never recommend such a shady business to anyone. Just shameful.
