    Super fun time! We went snorkeling and saw some super cool stuff! The staff was incredibly entertaining and kind ;) Scuba Joe is the best!

    We got to see waterfront homes and hotels along the way.

    We were in Key Largo at the beginning of October as we are every year. We decided to try Pirates Cove Watersports for our traditional sunset cruise. We ordered online for our tickets. It was $60 per person. It is not a dinner cruise. You can bring your own snacks and water. There were 8 of us aboard along with Captain Bobby. I have to give kudos to Bobby for pointing out all the wildlife, birds, and history of the area we sailed thru. He has a great sense of humor besides being very knowledgeable. We really had a fun time. There was a storm coming our way, which made our little cruise that much more exciting! Wear your boat shoes. We didn't need a jacket as it is still warm this time of year. If you have any physical difficulties, you will find that it is easy to get in and out of this boat. Plus, Bobby is very strong and will help you out! We will definitely return during our next trip to Key Largo!

    We had a fun day snorkeling with captain Brad. We were on the morning boat when there were 2-3 foot swells at the first snorkel sport and the captain and crew made us feel safe and well informed. It was awesome to see the different wrecks! The 2nd snorkel spot calmer and it had an abundance of fish right next to the boat so there was lots to see as soon as we jumped into the water! Definitely book with these guys- they're knowledgeable and kept all of us safe and happy on the water.

    Thank you so much to Cati, Nate, and Scuba Joe! We had such a wonderful time snorkeling with them! Half of our group rode jet skis earlier in the day and also had a wonderful time! Pirates Cove is your one stop shop for all things water sports!!!! We couldnt recommend them enough!

    Everyone was so friendly and helpful here. If you were born before 1986 you have to take a permits test. They give you guide to study and then you take a test. If you don't pass the first time they let you redo it. The staff was so welcoming and give you directions on where you can and can't go. We did an hour and that was so much fun and plenty of time. Definitely recommend if you are in the area. Will be back again!

    Jesus statue! Bad photo but worth the trip!

    Went out with Captain Brad and First Mate Joe and had a Blast! Got to see some great snorkel spots and they filled the travel time by being very entertaining. The shop staff was very professional and accommodating when an issue arose with one of our party members. Highly recommend!

    Liber and Katie were great! They were so fun and helpful. I definitely recommend this it was amazing.

    Jet Skiing in Key Largo
    Lauren R.

    I stopped by in the spur of the moment to jet ski. They helped me out and quickly got me on a jet ski. They walked me through the requirements and where and where not to go and then I was off. Loved the nice calm water and looking at all the homes on the water. Will definitely be back.

    So cool! Never saw an Eagle Ray before yesterday but tarpon, Goliath grouper, barracuda, turtle and reef fish galore

    We have used Pirates Cove twice and have enjoyed them! The snorkel excursions to the Christ statue and banana reef in the Dry Rocks area are great. They aren't kidding when they say it's one of the top frequented snorkel and dive sites. The boats are stable and large enough for up to 20 comfortable ready with gear. Scuba Joe is funny, approachablue, hard working and clear at directing the group. Captain Ryan has plenty of dad jokes and plenty of beverages available, with tips appreciated. Great for beginners to experienced, and I appreciate they go out 2x a day so they give you a heads up about currents and visibility. Highly recommend!

    Professional company. Snorkel trip was amazing, saw all sorts of wildlife. They were very competent and kept everyone safe. No issues whatsoever. Very friendly staff and made sure everyone had fun. Had all the equipment and everything worked well. Highly recommend. And a good deal too!

We do want to say that couple of the staff really stood out for excellent customer service - Jo as a dive guide was amazing, as was Savannah on the retail side - but the overall attitude is very much like you are just a number to fill seats. I question the safety standards. We went out in pretty questionable conditions (there was still thunder and lightening when we left the dock), and we witnessed people diving that really had no idea what they were doing, were bouncing around, kicking coral, not at all in control of themselves in the water - and none of this was directly addressed. The customer service in the dive center was pretty terrible - after we purchased over $1000 in equipment at their retail store, we were told we would get a free dive. Cool. So we booked a dive for 3 days later, and when we showed up, we were told that because we booked online instead of calling them, we could not use that free dive. We tried a few times to get this resolved and were just told "well that is our policy." There are so many options for diving in this area, I do not recommend this shop - they do not seem honest or like they really care about the dive experience, just filling seats.

This year, it was a sunset cruise, which far surpasses a dinner at yet another restaurant. Jill met me at Buzzard's Roost, which was great. I am local, but for folks who aren't, this is a great extra! I got to meet Suzy, their rescue, who was very sweet. Captain Glenn took us from ocean side to bay side to Nest Key for sunset. Close to Nest Key, we encountered at least 25 dolphin feeding. We sat and watched and them when we started to move away, the dolphin wanted to play in the boat's wake. Could not have imagined such a special experience to celebrate a birthday!!! My friends brought refreshments and Lucky Fish supplied reusable cups and also had a tank of water. A plus is their actual head (toilet) aboard. Their cat is a perfect size for 6 passengers. It is well appointed, spotless and very stable. Highest praise for Jill, Glenn and Suzy!

We decided not to let the pandemic spoil our 4th of July celebration and spent the holiday in Key Largo. After seeing the larger dive operations with their packed boats of 30+ people all weekend and the COVID-19 outbreak reaching an all-time high in Florida, we made the smarter decision to do a private dive with Lucky Fish Scuba. Captain Glenn and Jill took my dad, my sister and me to the perfect location for our first ocean dive. We had the best time! We were so happy to have the extra attention and instruction as new divers. It was such a stress-free experience. We were able to book the dive last minute, and all of the necessary equipment was on the boat ready for us when we arrived. The boat was beautiful and clean. The equipment was very new and in top condition. Glenn gave us tips to improve our scuba skills. Jill provided snacks and unlimited reef-friendly sunscreen. We even got a video of the dive to share will the rest of our family! I highly recommend using Lucky Fish Scuba if you plan to dive in Key Largo!

It was placed in the water on 22 August 1954 at approximately 17 metres depth, and stands 2.5 metres (8.5 feet) tall. "Il Cristo degli Abissi" was created by Guido Galletti after an idea of Italian swimmer / diver Duilio Marcante. The statue was placed near the spot where Dario Gonzatti died in 1947. He was the first Italian to use SCUBA gear. San Fruttuoso San Fruttuoso The statue depicts Christ in a pose offering peace.

It is located near Dry Rocks, about six miles east-northeast of the Key Largo Cut, in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. I was very fortunate to finally visit the Christ of the Abyss after wanting to go for many years! We went on my fiancé's boat. We looked for the coordinates on the web and simply followed them. When you arrive you will see a good number of ball boat bouees set up with a rope which allows you to tie up. They then have a floater which says "Statue" which marks the spot. It's a really cool spot if you are an amateur snorkeler. The water is 25 deep so if you are a beginner and feel comfortable being in that depth you should be good. There are tons of colorful fish around which makes the snorkeling adventure very special. It is my understanding you can go on a tour from John Penne camp for $35-50. If it includes snorkeling gear I say it's totally worth it. Definitely a place worth checking out if you are in the Key Largo Area.
