Captain Andy was incredible--friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip fun and relaxing for our whole family. My wife, our three kids, and even our dog had an amazing time. We spent the day swimming, snorkeling, and exploring beautiful sandbars that felt like our own private paradise. One of the highlights was cruising through the mangroves--the views were stunning and unlike anything we've experienced before. It was peaceful, scenic, and truly memorable. If you're looking for a perfect family adventure in Key West, this is it. Highly recommend Island Tales Charter--we'll definitely be back!

All six of us said it was our favorite day of the vacation. We was so patient teaching my kids how to fish, even as they kept losing the bait.

We settled in and set off for the ride to Looe Coral reserve for snorkeling- 1st stop. We beat the crowds and secured the best tie off spot. We spent about an hour enjoying the below the surface life. We even swam with a sea turtle. The snorkeling was the best I've ever experienced, and I guess that's why Looe Key is one of the top ten worldwide snorkeling places listed in last month's issue of SCUBA. After capturing some kicking videos underwater with the GoPro, we climbed back aboard and headed out to the flats to check out a few sand bars. He picked a great spot, devoid of other fun seekers and after a beat we opted to head out for more touring. We went back into the mangroves and checked out the local sights. Cap'n Clint was so forthcoming with information and he is knowledgeable and so much fun! He has history here, and it shows. I hope to go again and I am definitely booking this for when my family comes to visit. Things spotted while boating: sea turtle diving, sting ray, some type of shark (No dolphins, . this time, but they're out there somewhere!) Things not spotted: other tours . Thank you Clint Moore for a great day- we will try for better than baloney on bread next time (bad on us)
