Captain Dan was so nice, humorous, and well informed providing a great balance of jokes and informational facts about the aquatic wild life. They give you lots of opportunities to take family photos, stop the boat when there are dolphins around, even would turn the boat around so people on the other side could get plenty of pictures and could see it too. We were so happy that our ticket included 2 drink tickets (sodas, beer, or seltzers). My parents considered this experience relaxing, and my 29 year old sister/ my 25 year old self considered this experience to be very fun, so I think anyone at any age would enjoy it. Definitely recommend.

We hung out in front of the Sanibel lighthouse for everyone to get plenty of pictures at a wonderful sunset as Captain Forrest snapped away for all the groups and even sneaking himself in with the last shot. If you are in Fort Myers this excursion is well worth it!!! Excellent time!

The half day on the water with Captain Evan and First Mate Amdrew, was more like being taken out by a couple of friends and not a tourist trip. Very sincere conversation about the area and truly went above and beyond to give fulfilling trip. While out on the island shelling, they carry chairs out for everyone and put up umbrellas for all the groups. Even if you were not sitting there at the moment. Was really nice to come back to. We enjoyed just sitting on the beach of the island as much as the shelling. They made only one mention of appreciating tips if you enjoyed yourself. No tip bucket, no signs posted asking for tips. They earned a tip and would have gotten it even without a mention. The few poor rating reviews posted here you will notice were years ago. No way that can be who is running this now. Treat yourself and take the shelling trip

That said, John and the crew were outstanding: friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. At the Key West ticket counter, I encountered a similar issue with one staff member who was dismissive when I asked a simple question (gray hair W/ pony tail) -- her own colleague acknowledged it was uncalled for. Key West Express has a strong business model and a lot to offer. Frontline staff are the face of that brand, and a few negative interactions can significantly undermine the customer experience you've worked hard to build. I'd encourage leadership to address this directly, as it's worth protecting what you have. Overall, I would take the Key West Express again for the experience and a 3hrs vs 6hr drive any day - just get dedicated employees! Lastly, I really don't understand why they have such a late departure out of Key West back to Ft Myers -- hotel check out is usually 11am ‍..... what are passengers suppose to do w/ their luggage -- beside leaving it at the hotel....
