    Boat we took
    Lesli S.

    Did the 3 hr afternoon sail/snorkel and would recommend to others. Although it's a sail boat, we motored. Staff - Tim & Parker were super friendly, helpful, engaging. Some of the best excursion staff we have experienced. They pointed out various sights on our way out and back. It was about 45min to an hour out and an easy cruise with pleasant conversation with the staff and other guests. Once at the reef, there's a decent swim from the boat to the reef. They provide pool noodles inside your jacket so it was no big deal, but realize there is at least sometimes a bit of a distance. I'm terrified of the open ocean so the swim over was a little mind over matter exercise for me. Once over the reef it was lovely to see the fish. The coral in FL is not colorful, but there are a variety of sizes and colors of fish. Occasional large sea turtles swim nearby. One of the reasons we picked this company instead of others is b/c of the # of people they take. The other catamarans had SO many people jammed on it. Not our boat - room to move, take pics and feel like you're on a special excursion. It was worth the extra $ as we really appreciated the less chaotic atmosphere. Also picked this company b/c had read about the very busy boats just dropping people in pods of jellyfish. Although it was jellyfish season during our snorkel, our captain was very conscientious about where he stopped, calmed our fears and discussed how to navigate any potential encounters. We saw a total of 2 during our snorkel - no big deal. Nobody was stung. Drinks were served on the way back (non-alcoholic as well as alcohol) and it was a lovely return to dock. Especially nice if you're staying at the Hyatt or one of the neighboring hotels as it's super easy to access the boat dock behind the Hyatt pool. Be on time! Boat departs within 5 minutes of scheduled time and you will be left behind. That also means for people who show up on time, you get to move on with your excursion as planned and enjoy the entire 3 hours.

    Snorkel Tour was amazing

    We had a great day. We went out on Saturday, May 21, 2022. The weather was not perfect, a little choppy but we still had a great time. Parker and Kayla were wonderful. Plenty of room on the boat, cold drinks, great company. We were out from about 10 AM until 2 PM. Enjoyed some snorkeling and just being on the boat.

    Had an amazing and special time doing the sunset sail. Captain Mike was very friendly as was the crew. Can not recommend this experience enough!!

    We booked the Sunset Sail in Key West with Beverages Included for the 4th of July (fireworks show not included). We boarded the sailboat at the Hyatt Centric Resort. Beer, white wine and sodas were offered for drinks. We sailed past Mallory Square and out past the Southernmost Point. Then watched the sunset as we sailed back. We really enjoyed chatting with Parker, and the Captain was friendly, too. The boat is beautiful, clean and comfortable. There were about 26 people on board, so not too crowded. We took photos and video as the sun sank into the ocean and then raced back to dock so everyone could go on their way to enjoy fireworks. It was a beautiful end to the day.

    We did the sunset cruise and loved it. The weather was a little sketchy but we managed to stay out of the storms and the result was a gorgeous sunset. The staff on board were friendly, attentive and generous with drinks and refills. They seemed genuinely interested in our safety and seemed to love their jobs. I think I would too!! We had about 20 people on board. A nice group. Not too many but enough to meet some fun folks from around the country. We did not have live entertainment or food but knew that from the start. The sunset cruises that did looked packed!! We would highly recommend Floridays!! Crew.... You were awesome!!

    Took a snorkel cruise with Lanier and Kai, and can confirm, great time. They are a safety first group, fun, and great conversationalists. On the ride out, we got interesting tidbits of information about Key West and the surrounding area. After about an hour, we tied up near some other boats and snorkeled for another hour. We saw plenty of rays, a nurse shark, barracuda, and schools of other fish, among the coral. After an hour snorkeling, it was happy hour on the boat as we cruised back to Key West. Well worth the fee, and if you go don't forget to tip them!

    We had a great trip on the Floridays with Captain Lanier. It was a romantic, sunset with my beautiful bride of 49 years Kathy.

    I booked this for my besties 50th and we had a blast! Only seven of us on the boat and we had Janet and Laneer as our captains and we had a wonderful time snorkeling and just enjoying the boat. Even when the boat didn't start back up I just jumped back in the water and relaxed. We could not have asked for a Breyer experience. Thanks so much for a great day!

    Dolphin fun!
    Lauri S.

    We had such a great time with Floridays! The snorkeling trip was one of the hi lights of our trip to Key West! It was just the right amount of boat and water time and we would book another trip with them for sure!

    Let's do this!

    We had a great time on the boat and in the water! The ship is clean and well stocked and the staff is not only warm and friendly, but they really know their stuff. Captain Janet and First Mate Parker took care of everything and we had one of the most relaxing afternoons we can remember. The snorkeling was amazing and the crew made it so easy. We'll definitely be back.... maybe a sunset cruise next time!

    Kailee and Parker were absolutely fabulous! The boat was beautiful, the weather unseasonably warm, the water calm and the snorkeling was truly amazing! We saw hundreds of colorful fish, and even a nurse shark. Highly recommend this adventure!

    Great sunset sail. Very entertaining crew. Plenty of room to walk around. Felt like a friend was talking me for a ride on their boat.

    My husband and I booked a snorkeling excursion with Namaste and felt like it was only an…read moreadequate/average experience. Clearly, Namaste is pretty well reviewed on Yelp, but our experience made us wonder whether something had gone awry with our tour. The information we read on the website made it seem like it would be more of a special, hands-on three hours on AND IN the water. While Jeff was eager and informative about his on-deck timeline presentation about the millions of years of geological history regarding coral reefs, the information about the present day was a little lacking. Additionally, it was a bit surprising to be on an "eco" excursion and to hear Jeff talk about how global climate change doesn't concern him as much as pollution does, especially since climate change is the result of pollution by greenhouse gases. During Jeff's presentation on the boat, there were some details and photos of different corals, but there was no instruction in the water. The pics and description on the site made it seem like the four of us who were "guests" would be led snorkeling around the reef and be presented with observations and sightings of the marine life first-hand--for example, there's a photo onsite of a diver showing/handing a guest a sea cucumber. What actually happened was that Jeff dove into the water before any of the guests and then seemed to be off swimming on his own personal snorkeling adventure during the roughly 40-45 minutes we were snorkeling, although he and his (very friendly) wife, Trish, did swim by to take underwater pics from time to time. And that brings me to another point: We paid extra for a photo package, which ended up being publicly available pics that they posted to Facebook after the trip anyway; no "photo package" was ever provided specifically to us. Additionally, there was no checking in at any time about the comfort level of any guest--nothing asked about swimming abilities, no suggestion of floatation assistance in the fairly choppy water, and no requirement even of life vests at any time during the three hours we were on/in the water. This actually discouraged my husband (a nervous swimmer) from even getting in the water, although neither Jeff nor Trish ever inquired about why one of the only four guests on board didn't want to get in the water or whether there was anything they could do as guides. (The tour description called for strong swimmers but also accommodated "shy swimmers.) Jeff and Trish seemed, in this regard, as being rather amateurish, and the food and drinks provided were lackluster as well (a block of supermarket cheese cut up on the spot, along with shrinkwrapped watermelon and pineapple slices and crackers dumped out on plates set on deck. We aren't super fancy or picky, but we've been on less expensive and equally informative snorkeling excursions elsewhere (St Thomas, Turks and Caicos, etc), and Namaste was a bit adequate by comparison, especially regarding the higher price and the hands-on explorations that was promised via the Namaste website.

While lounging around was on the top of my family's list, a snorkeling trip was at the top of mine. I set out to find the right tour operator for us. Yelp led me toward a very well reviewed, giant tour company. As I flipped through their photos, something didn't feel right. Crowds, a party boat, frat boys. Where were the fish? Where was the coral? It seemed that these things were an afterthought for many operators. So I hit Google. And one operator's facebook page caught my eye: Namaste Sailing. Their facebook page was loaded with albums of recent snorkeling trips. In fact, each charter had its own album full of beautiful underwater photos. Seemed like a good sign. I made my way to their official website and found more goodies. Snorkeling, sailing, and a little bit of environmental education. Sounded like the right thing for me. Booking was painless. I called the main number and quickly realized I was talking to Jeff, the co-owner and co-captain of the Namaste, the 30+ foot sailboat he and his wife Trish call home. We settled on a "mixed private" snorkeling trip at $125/person that would last about four hours. Mixed private means other folks are free to sail with us, but no more than eight people total. It was significantly more affordable than a private charter but was still a small operation - a good trade off. Soon it was finally sailing day. We met Trish on a marina just north of Key West. She led us to the Namaste. As we approached the boat, we all assumed it was the small, dodgy-looking boat to our right. Wrong we were. The Namaste, to our left, is a majestic 37' blue water sailing dreamboat. We hopped on and were greeted by Capt. Ron. Capt. Ron is the Namaste's live-aboard cat and he was quite snuggly. Also on board was a very sweet little dog named pollito who was amazingly well-behaved. Then finally we met Jeff who would be our boat driver (after all, Ron is the Captain). Jeff and Trish couldn't have been more welcoming. We soon realized we were sitting aboard their home - they live year-round on the Namaste. After we left the harbor, Trish and Jeff tag-teamed a quick, informative, and passionate presentation about reef ecosystems, what we might see in the water, and how we can minimize our impact on the reef. Both Trish and Jeff are retired teachers and it shows through. This might have been our favorite part of the trip! When we finally arrived at the reef, we tied off to a buoy, donned our snorkeling gear, and jumped in with Trish. She led the way through crystal clear water to the Western Sambo reef. The coral was from 5 to 15 feet below the water. The reef was a beautiful mural of sea fans, fish, corals, and sand. Truly indescribable. While we snorkeled around, Trish followed nearby and snapped photos of the reef, of us, and of us looking at the reef. Once we tired ourselves out, we swam back to the boat and returned to shore. Our guides had cold watermelon and cheese & crackers waiting for us as well as cold drinks. Once we were back on shore, we started checking the Namaste facebook page religiously. We were so eager to see our tour amongst their many photo albums. About three days afterwards, our photos appeared. They were excellent and will make sure we remember the trip for years to come. Trish is quite the photographer! We were encouraged to download the pictures -- at no additional cost. If you want to snorkel while in Key West, you should do yourself (and the reef) a favor and opt for a small and responsible operator like Namaste Sailing. Once you've committed to that goal, going with this outfit is a no-brainer. Jeff and Trish bring such deep passion to their work. If I make it back to Key West, another trip on the Namaste is undoubtedly in my plans.
