Often feel silly being pseudo residents (elsewhere in FL otherwise), doing touristy things, but we are always willing to try something new, especially if it involves boating! The crew was wonderful, and Astronomer Kevin is an incredibly smart man, who put on a great presentation. Literally perfect sailing conditions, comfortable boat & all around super experience. Will recommend this to our many, many guests and local friends. Kudos to your staff!

Captain Eddie, the owner/captain of the vessel is an incredibly accomplished sailor - everything on the trip ran like clockwork and there was plenty of time for stories, songs, good eating (Capt Eddie cooked all our meals), and recreation at the various stopping points. We stopped halfway and spent the night anchored just off the Marquesas and were able to use the motorized dinghy and SUPs to explore the island. The Dry Tortugas were a fascinating and beautiful destination, with lots of history. Gorgeous sunsets, dolphin sightings, and crystal clear, clean seas. We cannot say enough about the professional way the trip was planned and executed. You won't find a better captain - Eddie is a retired combat veteran and a huge Jimmy Buffet fan. The perfect combination to keep you safe and entertained! 5 stars!

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.
