The snorkeling was enjoyable, but for someone with some snorkeling experience, it was fairly basic and a little underwhelming. That said, it's a great beginner-friendly experience and perfect for people who have never snorkeled before. Overall, it was a fun trip and a good way to spend a few hours on the water.

We showed up early to grab a drink at the bar before heading out, which was definitely the right move. Our captain, Bailey, was fantastic--super friendly, gave us a quick rundown of everything, and then we were off. We cruised around the area before heading out to Crab Island to catch the sunset and keep an eye out for dolphins. The whole experience was exactly what we needed--relaxing, fun, and just an all-around great vibe. Good drinks, great company, and an incredible sunset. After the sun went down, we cruised back to the dock, already talking about doing it again with another group. 5/5 experience--highly recommend! If you book, call and ask for Bailey. They also offer daytime trips to Crab Island if that's more your speed. Pro tip: Parking is limited, so consider taking an Uber or Lyft.

They…read morewere very friendly and aimed at making this a great experience from the moment they introduced themselves. Immediately we were all laughing and joking like we were all old friends. The labeled life jackets are a nice touch. As we headed to the boat Chris got to know us a little and found out what type of experience we were looking for. At the beginning of the ride he asked what type of music we liked and he found a good station for the "turn up" to begin! It was a beautiful ride out and on the way he allowed us to do the Titanic pose and get pics of that lol. Chris was informed that we had one in our group that could not swim and did not want to be thrown into the water. He was amazing at making sure we got in a good ride without anyone being thrown off. Once she had had enough he allowed her to get back on the boat so that the other 2 of us could go for a faster ride. It was so fun!!! We both ended up being thrown off (which is exactly what we wanted). There weren't any rides scheduled after us, so on the return trip Chris made a detour to allow us to get up close views of some dolphins that were in the area! We saw about 3 or 4 of them swimming right next to the boat! It was beautiful and they captured it in our photos. We did opt for the photo package, and if you decide to do this ... I suggest you do to. They captured EVERYTHING. And who wants to worry about who's gonna take a picture when you're having fun and being thrown into the ocean?!? What I found exceptional about the photo package is that you are not given the photos immediately. You actually get a link to download them. This way they go through the pictures and get rid of any "junk" photos so you don't have to! You get amazing quality photos that will have you laughing for hours. We ended up with 82 QUALITY photos (in comparison to another activity we purchased a photo package for and ended up with 25 photos, but a couple were duplicates and another one was blurry/unusable). He even took the time to put the phrase "TURN UP" on one of the pics!!! It's worth it! Thanks again Captain Chris and crew for an amazing experience!
