AMAZING!!! Is the only way I can describe his experience! My husband booked this snorkeling tour purely at my request. I wanted to go snorkeling, but with a company less "touristy". When I tell you the caption and the first mate where above expectations I mean it. They were both professional and personable. Including my husband and I, there were only 6 passengers on board, which I prefer. I could not rave more about this place. We snorkeled for an hour+ and then went to the sand bar for an hour+ . The drinks were never ending, and the first mate even paddle boarded out to us to refresh our drinks! The best part of all of it is ... there was a doggy on board! Professional yet personable is the only way I can describe the staff. This place will forever more be our snorkeling adventure EVERYTIME we come to the keys! I'm surprised reading some of these reviews... if you're a Karen that wants to complain at every inconvenience.... This probably isn't the place for you. BUT if you can go with the flow and want a nice ENJOYABLE time! You should forsure book with this company! read more

We went on a couple of snorkel/sandbar trips with this company and had a good time on both trips. We like the fact that they'll pick you up from the Islander resort where we were staying. We do wish they'd go out to alligator lighthouse for snorkeling. We'll probably use them again in the future. read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING! LOST ALMOST $1000 (Revised to add this paragraph, which trip advisor won't allow edits to include this warning): Be careful. We had 5 adults on this trip. All 5 left reviews on trip advisor and he thinks I'm posting all 5. He's threatening legal action saying we're trying to ruin his business. THIS ALONE is why they have 5 stars on trip advisor. Trip advisor will remove your bad review if he disputes it and you don't reply promptly. Well I replied promptly and so will my family. This guy is crook! BE CAREFUL! He admits on my comment there that winds were 20 mph. That's all I really need. He should have canceled. Booked snorkeling and sandbar for 11. Sent a text 3 hours before departure to ask if weather was a concern. Matt replied quickly saying snorkeling was out due to weather but the sandbar had great weather and the water was calm. (photo posted). He refunded us $330. Not ideal, but we were past the point where we could cancel and decided to take this mans word that the sandbar was worth $816 and that the weather was nice. Weather seemed ok until we got out on the water. The winds for whale harbor at 1pm on 11/22/21 were 19-20 mph (you can look this up). 6 of our group got in the water thinking if they just kept their body in the water they would be ok. 5 refused to get in. 2 were crying. We immediately put the 3 year old in moms hoodie and rocked him to sleep, he was freezing. Holding him provided a personal heater so we were all passing the baby around to keep warm. There were 40 people on this boat and less than half got in. The people who got in stayed at the back of the boat where the wind was being blocked. My brother in law tried to take one of the kayaks out but the wind was just too strong to have any fun. A good captain would ACKNOWLEDGE that the crowd was miserable. Like "shoot guys, I tried. Thought the wind wouldn't be bad but I was wrong. What are you guys thinking, you want to stay, you want to head back." But we got nothing...he cowered in the back of his boat and pretended like nothing was wrong. You look at the photos he advertises and there are tons of other boats and tons of people in the water. On our trip there was ONE other boat and it was a fishing boat, not a soul in the water. At the tail end of the 2.5 hours of hell another snorkel boat showed up (snorkel girl) and less than half of their passengers got in too. I don't know what either of these two captains were thinking. Actually I do. This guy decided $4,000 was too good to pass up and he didn't care that the wind was 19mph - he was not going to cancel. He didn't make eye contact, ignored the problem. Not a single person left a tip. It was hell! $816 to sit on a boat less than half a mile away from the parking lot. This guy could see from his dock the spot he parks his piece of crap boat, could see the flags out there flopping around like crazy! He didn't care! Someone said they were cold and he said, we at least it's not as cold as it was this morning. My husband was the last off the boat and told Matt that he should have canceled the trip, he would not respond or make eye contact. I text him a couple times afterward asking for a full refund and he flat out ignored all communication. (photos shared) We've snorkeled with horizon divers in key largo for john pennekamp, captain pips for sombrero reef, taken the seaplane to the dry tortugas, fished with key largo fishing adventures, eaten at 50 different places. Shopped all over. Stayed at 12 different places. Quite literally have encountered 100 different business owners in the keys over the years and have not had a single bad experience. We LOVE the Keys. Love the easy going laid back island life. We've had 3 different adventures canceled on us due to bad weather (I've left reviews on their cancelation methods saying we appreciated not being charged for a bad experience and appreciated the good call of judgment). This man needs to be put out of business. He is a crook and I plan to work with my credit card company on this because it's crooked. Refusing to make eye contact, refusing to address the situation, and refusing to respond to our inquiries for a refund. Taking people out in bad weather to make money. You clearly lack ethics! I hope you lose your business. Book with a company who won't take you out on a bad day and rob you of almost $1000! read more

Very nice captains and very fun experience. We did the snorkeling on one day and sand bar on the other. Snorkeling was fun we saw lots of fish but nothing that special. Sand Bar was cool and fun. read more

SO much fun! Started with a snorkeling trip to a reef and saw some cool fish. Water was chilly! Felt good in the heat. Next, and most importantly, we went to this sand bar where there was an awesome food boat serving tacos and wings and burgers and other boats hanging out having a good time! Guides Brady and Aaron were super chill, friendly, and fun and offered us unlimited Rum Punch that was made of magic, so tasty and did its job if ya know what i mean Would absolutely recommend! Best day of the trip so far. read more

Great time out in the water, highly recommend. Start your trip on a reef snorkel, we saw nurse sharks and rays. Then head over to the local sandbar for some fun and plenty of water sports and drinks to go round. Crew was fantastic and made trip very enjoyable.

This was the second time my wife and I have done an excursion with Clearly Unique. They gave us such a great experience last year that we had to go again this year. The crew is very friendly and nice. They are patient and are truly there to show you their home. The snorkel locations are accommodating based on weather. We saw a pod of dolphins and Braddy the Captain took time out of the day to take the boat towards them and spend 20 minutes around them so we can all have that experience. Id recommend them to anyone who wants to go out to the sea and see some amazing sea life as well have a nice relaxing sand bar experience. read more

Took an interesting snorkeling trip with clearly unique charters yesterday. The crew was friendly and very helpful. unfortunately, it was windy so the visibility wasn't very good, and because of the recent storms, the water was cold for everyone else but me. I highly recommend this business on a calm day when the weather has been warm. read more

The guys that took us were great and we enjoyed the sandbar very much! The water was amazing and clear.

The Captain and crew were amazing! This was the best part of vacation. They welcomed our group of 9! They had great knowledge of the ocean and area. We HIGHLY recommend this tour. Thank you for a perfect day! read more

Had such a great time on the snorkel and sandbar tour!! We booked last minute in a whim and I'm so glad we did. The captains made a fun time for everyone, adults and kiddos. We didn't want the excursion to end! read more

Was a little worried reading the recent reviews but we went on a trip today and it was amazing! Great snorkeling and then they take you to a sand bar where you can kayak, paddle board, and drink hard or soft drinks (included) on the sand bar. Highly recommend! read more

This was the most fun thing we've done. Worth every penny!! Brady and Gavin took care of all our needs and we're so fun!! Do it!!!

Don't curb appraise this one! Captains Brady and Gavin did a fantastic job giving everyone on the boat a terrific experience. The snorkeling was awesome and the sandbar was so much fun! The beer was plentiful, rum punch had high octane! Brady and Gavin made sure we had everything we needed for a great time with our friends. This one is well worth the price of admission! read more

At first, we were scared to go kayaking, since we had a 15month old with us on the boat and we just signed for snorkeling. But the owner suggested strongly that we go on this kayak trip and so we signed up. That was the best decision that we made. Kayaking was amazing! We kayaked through mangroves and to a lagoon. It was definitely a very secluded place and close to nature. We saw a baby shark, green sea turtles(wow they are so quick), ospreys, several other birds, several sponges, variety of fish in that clear water, a relatively harmless jelly fish too! The water was warm and weather perfect to enjoy the trip. The little one had so much fun too! And then we expected a similar experience from snorkeling. It was unbelievably poor. The place where we were taken to snorkel, the waters were murky and there was not a great coral reef or aquatic life. All I could see was sea weeds through unclear waters and a few fish (not too interesting). If we just signed up snorkeling like we planned to, I would have given this place a 1 star. Overall, it was a good trip and a wonderful experience. The jet-boat was super fast (not like the slow sail boats, so that helped with my motion sickness) and we loved the ride back to the harbor. read more

The boat operators were super friendly, helpful and fun! They provided clean equipment in excellent condition and answered all questions thoroughly. The experience was great for a family with small children through a guest with mobility issues, and US -- a groups of friends celebrating a wedding the next day. The rum runners were delicious as well! read more

Amazing experience out to the reef and the stop off at the sand bar really topped off the tour. The captain was very knowledgeable and made our trip safe and fun. Would definitely recommend. read more

This charger boat was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to do on our vacation to Islamorada! The crew was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and efficient. They provided us with all we needed to enjoy the day snorkeling and at the sand bar. I cannot recommend this company enough!!!! read more

Hands down best charter in town. Crew is definitely top notch. Grab a sandwich and head to the docks!

We had a wonderful time on the boat! The snorkeling was amazing as was the sandbar! We had a group of 6 and it was wonderful! Thank you Matt and Brady! read more

Okay fella. I posted this review (as anybody would after being stood up for a tour) and forgot about it until you decided to comment a year and half later. Instead of hounding people who post an honest review about your company, admit your faults and work on them. We got there 15 minutes early because that is what you said do. We already wasted time and money getting to the dock, we are not about to sit around for another two hours waiting for somebody who already stood us up. Sheesh! read more

What an amazing day! We had a good size party and all of us loved the trip. From the snorkeling (which was great) to the sandbar where we all hung out and paddleboarded, kayaked and the kids played on the mats, the crew was polite, hands on and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend! read more

We arrived on a personal boat and anchored near this company's boat. The tour guide out that day was absolutely fabulous. Very helpful and even gave us a wine opener as we had forgotten ours! Great outfit if you're looking for a charter! Stand up company! read more

We booked a private charter for a group of 29. We had Great service! Beautiful way to spend the day.

A must do! Gavin and Brady were great! Easy booking, local meet up, & lots of fun. Even if you're new to snorkeling, this trip won't disappoint. read more

Really fun kayaking and snorkeling tour. Clear kayaks were cool. Great guide that showed us around mango groves.

Do not use this company. My friends and I booked a tour to go clear kayaking and snorkeling with them. We got to the dock and there was a huge thunderstorm coming. We didn't feel comfortable being out on the water in that storm. The captain said he would try to get us a refund from the owner. I have called and emailed repeatedly and no one responds to either. I am disappointed to lose the money but the poor rating is mainly for the fact that I can't even get an email reply. read more

Made a reservation over the phone for the morning session even though he said that he did not have enough people to take out a morning session. The next day I asked if I could be put with the afternoon session just in case I would be able to make it and he told me that would not be a problem. I called later and told him I would not be able to make the following days reservation as I had thought before, keep in mind this is our third phone conversation at this point. He laughs and says "as long as your outside of the 48 hours you're ok I guess" and basically tells me that he is going to charge me the full price for two adults when before all he told me to do is to call beforehand, throughout this whole thing he is chuckling and laughing. When I brought up that he did not say anything about this "rule" he said "it's in the literature" and laughs again. I try telling him that I called the reservation in and did not see any literature on his place; he cuts me off, says "sorry" laughs and hangs up on me. After speaking to locals about this place I am extremely glad that I 1. Did not go and 2. Did not give the owner my actual credit card number as I have heard about a ton of these shady practices in the keys. Apparently the "clear" boats that they have are extremely scratched up and cloudy, the scenery is pitiful at best, and the owner is extremely rude. I wish I would of asked around before calling this place. There are a ton of things to do in the keys, avoid this horrible human being at all costs. read more

A wonderful staff. Captain Gavin and Brady were true professionals and super fun! A truly unique experience and a must do in Islamorada!

The boat captain and guides were great! They were laid back but very knowledgable. We kayaked in the morning and saw all kinds of fish and birds and even sharks!!! I didn't participate in the snorkeling but watched from the boat. Clearly Unique was very affordable too! You should check them out when you are in key West. read more

We had a fantastic tour with Captain Eddie. He is a very small charter. He picked us up at the docks and had the kayaks loaded inside the boat. In addition to my husband, there was a local that lived on his houseboat in the marina. He boated us over to a small island of mangrove trees. It was super windy and I was thankful I was in a shared kayak with my husband. Eddie was very knowledgeable and led our tour from a stand up paddle board. Once we got inside the lagoon area of the island the wind was calmer. He wove us through a channel inside the mangroves and showed us jelly fish, horseshoe crabs, sea turtle and other fish. When we headed back to the boat he pointed out some large sting rays and a couple sharks in the water nearby. We had an amazing day. It was very personal and Eddie seemed very knowledgeable. read more

We had so much fun on our cruise. Everything was great and the crew was very helpful and fun!

Awesome experience for our first trip to Key West. Relaxing entertainment kayaking and snorkeling in open water. Take in all of the beautiful nature including fish, crabs, birds, & sharks. My hats off to our guides, knowledgeable and easy going, make the trip worth your time and money. Sodas & snacks provided. read more

Spent the afternoon with such a great crew, exploring the beautiful ocean! It was our first visit to key west and 100% be back to go on another voyage! We kayaked through mangroves, saw sea turtles, nurse sharks, tarpon, and horseshoe crabs! Then went snorkeling, I am new at it but the crew put me at ease and I had such an amazing time! We were the last ones back in the tiki boat!! Such a great experience, I recommend it to everyone!!! Thanks for wonderful memories! We will be back! ~Jenn~ read more
