An Absolutely Unforgettable Florida Keys Adventure -- Thank You, Captain Barry!…read more If you're even thinking about booking a sandbar charter in Islamorada, stop scrolling and book AquaBlue Adventures right now -- and ask for Captain Barry! Our family just did the Simple Sandbar Private Charter and it was hands-down the highlight of our entire Keys trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Barry made us feel like family. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters, the marine life, and the history of the area, and he happily answered our endless questions with a smile and great stories along the way. The sandbar itself was pure paradise -- crystal-clear, turquoise water as far as you could see. Captain Barry came loaded with an arsenal of ocean toys for us to enjoy, including a paddleboard that the whole family took turns on. The kids (and the adults!) had the time of their lives, and Barry was right there making sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and having a blast. What really set this experience apart was Barry himself: helpful, attentive, genuinely fun, and clearly someone who loves what he does. He went above and beyond to make our day special, and it shows. The boat was clean, the gear was top-notch, and the whole operation from booking to drop-off was seamless. If you want a true Florida Keys adventure with a captain who treats you like family, you cannot do better than Captain Barry and AquaBlue Adventures. We're already planning our next trip back. Thank you, Barry -- you made memories we'll treasure forever!

We stayed at the Tarpon There was a scary part, we are lucky we don't drink, otherwise I can see people falling into the water and slipping off the walkway because it's extremely narrow. We definitely had some fun getting on and off the houseboat especially with luggage and rain. It takes some non slip shoes and upper arm strength to hold on while the house boat is moving trying to get off or on. It's so well worth it though, we had a blast! Thank you Mike for such an incredible experience!

Keith was our guide and was not attentive and did not check on or help the kayakers that were struggling.

We had the most incredible experience with Family Fun Boat Tour Company in Islamorada. Even though…read morethe weather wasn't completely on our side, Kathy and Heidi truly went above and beyond to make sure our time on the water was the best it could possibly be. One completely unintentional and unexpected highlight was getting to interact with dolphins as they swam right around our boat. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Kathy immediately recognized how special this moment could be for us and she made sure to capitalize on it in a way only a true captain could. She made sure we got the opportunity to fully take this in...something we will never forget! From start to finish, they were thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Every detail was considered, and they took such great care to make sure the kids had the absolute best time. It was clear how much they genuinely care about creating meaningful, memorable experiences for families. We couldn't recommend Family Fun Boat Tour Co more highly. If you're visiting Islamorada, especially with kids, this is an absolute must. We will definitely be back!

We had the most amazing day with Riley. He was an absolute blast! He was very funny and friendly…read more Went out with my husband, me, and our 2 boys (8 & 11). Riley knew just how to put the kids into fish and handled them so well! (Both boys have ADHD and Riley was so patient!) He listened and carried on a conversation with our youngest for quite some time. Put us right on barracuda, cobia, sharks, and PERMIT!! Both kids said they had "the best day ever!" and wanted to know when we could go back and fish with Riley again. :)

I'll just say, DON'T BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE. Josh is hands down the best guide in all of the keys,…read moreand Everglades. We have booked trips all over the place, Charleston, Cape Cod, Panama Canal, Mexico, etc.. and our experience with Josh was one of the best. He is a funny guy that can carry on a good conversation. This is important to me with a guide, as some can be stuffy and dead noise can be uncomfortable.. this will not happen with Josh. His skills of fishing are perfect for any experienced person or beginner fisherman or woman! We split our trip up and fished off the fly half the day and bait fished the rest, in Everglades park. Josh fished with us an entire 12 hours, he said "when you call it, we'll be done." And charged us his standard full day price. ANY guide we've ever had watches their watch and calls it at exactly 8 hours, or less. I can't stand guides that watch their watches.. Josh is very unique in this way. We caught all kinds of fish, some we didn't want to catch, like catfish and lady fish (but if you ask me, they were still fun to catch), but others we did want to catch like snook, redfish, trout, Jack's.. etc. We saw Gators, dolphins, sting Ray's, manatees, and giant sea turtles that came up along the side of the skiff boat. We checked around the keys for other guides prices and found that Josh was right in the sweet spot for his pricing (under what most charge by at least $50)... And he was definitely worth every single penny. Whether you want to fish the keys, the Everglades, or even for trout in Idaho, Josh is your guy. You will have a blast, I promise!!
