First, I want to highlight the communication process with Donna was beyond exceptional. Responsive and very easy to communicate with. I've saved her info down and will reach out for future outings! We had a two hour boat ride with Mike and we just asked him to tour us around Siesta key beach and allow us to see some dolphins; we did that and got to swim at one of the sandbars. We pretty much stopped at every dolphin encounter it was very nice! Great experience and would definitely come back! read more

We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Mike. My friends took care of all the details as a birthday surprise for me and Donna left us wanting for nothing. My friend was going to order snacks but Donna offered to handle that instead and as I said already, she covered it all beautifully. My friend mentioned how great Donna was with communication. We floated, saw so many dolphins, and generally just enjoyed our time on the water. We really loved the location as we were on the key- it was a quick drive from our condo. We will definitely seek out Key Life the next time! read more

Four of us recently took a two hour tour with Captain Mike and it was wonderful! My two grandkids (2 and 4) wanted to see manatees and dolphins, and Captain Mike delivered! Communication with Donna to set up the trip was excellent, and the boat was very comfortable. He had life jackets for all (the little ones wore them the entire time as required and they were very comfortable). He answered questions throughout and pointed out anything he thought would be of interest. And he had water and snacks for us as well! We will definitely go out with Key Life Charters again, and you won't go wrong on any type of tour you choose! read more

We chartered for Mother's Day and had such a wonderful time. It was so so nice to be out on the water. Captain Mike is kind, caring, considerate. His wife was an absolute pleasure to work with and could not have made the process any easier. Captain Mike took us to see dolphins, to snorkel, and to see some of Sarasota's coolest history. We had such a perfect day, thank you both again! read more

Best charter in Sarasota. Capt. Mike knows the area inside and out (including notables who live in the area). He is considerate of the customers needs...willing to accommodate to make the most out of the cruise for his clients. We have been steady customers for over 5 years! read more

We booked a bachelorette party of 6 with Key Life Charters and It was the best part of the weekend! Captain Mike was so amazing! The level of service and professionalism was fabulous. Mike knew exactly how to make the 4 hour experience a memorable one. He took us to places where we could swim, snorkel, see dolphins, and manatees. We got to play our playlist through the speaker and dance as we cruised. I know ladies on a bachelorette trip can get rowdy, but Mike was so amazing and made us all feel so comfortable and safe! I live in the area and will for sure be bringing my family and friends to enjoy another boat ride with them! They are the best in the area, highly recommend them!! The extra touch of providing waters and snacks was wonderful as well. Thank you so much for everything Mike and Donna!!! We loved every second of it! read more

My husband and I wanted a peaceful day on the water and Mike delivered that! The clarity wasn't fully back yet from red tide but it didn't effect our day what so ever. We spotted some dolphins, which was amazing to watch. We stopped at a nice little restaurant on the water to split a burger, that was cool! Seeing the world from a different angle sometimes is quite refreshing! We will defiantly be back. They were running a sept special, so we got 3 hours for 290$ I would highly recommend Mike and Donna for your charter, they are also great at responding and accommodating your day. read more

Our charter with Mike was the highlight of our May vacation to Siesta Key! This was my first time booking with Key Life Charters and my only regret is not finding them sooner! Booking with Mike and Donna couldn't have been easier. They responded quickly to my emails and made sure no questions were left unanswered. Mike picked us up at the marina in Siesta, which couldn't have been more convenient. During our 4 hour charter, we stopped at a sandbar to look for shells, saw dolphins, stopped at a tiki bar for a drink, went tubing, and cruised around just enjoying the water. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better day. I highly recommend booking with Captain Mike!! read more

We had an amazing day with Mike today! The weather was beautiful, the boat was big and comfortable and Mike was so easy going and fun to be around. We just wanted to enjoy the water and we weren't really sure what we exactly wanted to see. Mike took the reins and brought us to some lovely places. Tons of shells on an island. Dolphins jumping in the water. It was just perfect. My kids LOVED tubing. They will remember today for a long time. mike was great with them (my kids as 12 and 15). The tube the kids went out in was awesome. Huge tube with a nice floor and lots of handles. My kids went out together and alone. Thank you for such an amazing day and we will be back!! read more

Absolute blast on Key Life Charter. Excellent communication with Donna and awesome time with Mike. Highly reccomended!

Our charter with Key Life was the highlight of our vacation. My husband and I and our two teen girls went for a four hour Charter. From the start scheduling the trip was quick and simple. Mike was very quick to respond to all of our questions. Mike was very informative about Sarasota in general among with sea life surroundings. We visited a beautiful sandbar with a great variety of shells. We stopped for some fishing. The kids had a blast tubing. It was an absolutely beautiful cruise and an excellent day. Four hours was a perfect time but it went by FAST. We will definately sail with Mike again the next time we are in Siesta Key! read more

"Uncle Mike" & "Madonna" we can't thank you enough for providing such a fun day on the water for our family!

We can't wait until we are back in Florida to get back out on the water with you! ~The Barrera Family read more
