      Loved Casual Monday Charter boat trip!
      My husband and I took a 3.5 hour boat trip with Capt. Zak on 3/20/24, and we had a wonderful time! Zak is personable, knowledgeable about KW history and the waters around Key West, pleasant and fun to be with. He couldn’t be more accommodating. We toured some of the harbor and learned a lot of interesting things. I had wanted to see the Flats, where the water ranged from deep blue to light aqua, and was beautiful. We stopped in the shelter of some mangrove islands to eat the snacks we’d brought, taking in the scenery and talking. He made everything easy and smooth, and communicated everything we needed to know before the trip. We can recommend him highly!

      Sandbar, dolphins and a great boat trip.
      My wife and I wanted to see some dolphins and visit a sandar. We got both along with a great experience. Capt. Zak was infomational, funny and above all trustworthy. He made us feel safe during some inclement weather in addition to showing us some great sites. The sandbar was easy to get to and a super wonderful time. We will certainly book again with Casual Mondays and can't recommend them enough.

      great captain
      Zak was a great captain. Knowledgeable about the area, both local lore and the waters. Was safety conscious. Personable and friendly, without being gregarious or overwhelming.

      Best tour in key west!
      I agree with the other review 5 stars is not enough! He deserves 10! Zak was so awesome! We arrived early and he was ready for us. He said we could do whatever we wanted. He took us to some great local spots. Everything was beautiful. Zak was very relaxed and chill. I will be back and I already want to go again. The website is so easy to use. We booked one day before! His boat is really nice too. Very clean smooth ride.

      Sunset cruise in Key West
      Captain Zak was great! He was a great historian and we loved hearing about the history of the area during the cruise. Zak was super friendly with our teens and 8 year old who had lots of questions and wanted to share facts. We would definitely book with him again!

      Experience was 5/5. Zak was kind and patient will all my three boys. He explained everything and answered all my boys questions which can be overwhelming. He took us to some amazing spots and my entire family loved our trip with Zak.

      Captain Zak is the best
      I wasn't able to go on the planned excursion with Captain Zak, but it's worth mentioning that he was so helpful in planning it and so kind about my need to cancel. When booking and deciding what time to leave he was very flexible and seemed to care only about our enjoyment then any schedule he might have. He was even welcoming about us bringing our 80 lb dog on board. The booking process was incredibly easy, and he made sure to text us the night before to ensure we knew where we were going and exactly what to do. He was so understanding about my canceling due to the weather, even though he said he was perfectly happy to take us out regardless of the rain. (He explained the weather pattern to me). In addition to the rain, my dog wasn't feeling well, so I decided it wouldn't work out that day, and he refunded me immediately and insisted it was no big deal despite my feeling so guilty! Obviously that doesn't mean anyone should be super lax about scheduling and canceling, it just speaks to his considerate nature. Casual Monday Charters is a very wise booking, go for it.

      An awesome time with Captain Zack
      Captain Zack was a great host on his boat. He was flexible on what we wanted to do and how long we wanted to spend in the given areas. We loved the mangrove tour, the lily pad on the sandbar is relaxing! Capt Zack is extremely personable. We would highly recommend Casual Monday Charters.

      Necessary for a trip to Key West
      A necessary piece of the trip to Key West. Zak was the best- we saw beautiful sights, listened to great music, learned cool facts about the area, and laughed the entire time. All we did was show up with our drinks and get the day going. He took us to awesome spots, and was open to whatever we wanted to do as the day went along. Saw a beautiful sunset to cap it off. A must-do for a trip to Key West!!!!

      Hands Down the Best Charter in Key West!
      Had the best time on Casual Monday with Captain Zak! Booked a full day charter and spent the day exploring all the local sandbars. Boat was clean and comfortable for our group of 6 people. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves. We brought drinks and Zak had the cooler ready with ice. Learned so much about the area and even saw Dolphins and Sea Turtles!! Felt completely safe the entire time and would recommend again again. Definitely book with them!!!

      If you don’t book with Casual Monday’s Charter, your missing out!!!
      WHAT A BLAST! Zak took us out and showed us multiple sand bars and pointed out many of the sea life that we came across. We saw a boat that sunk a long time ago, sting rays, sharks, and many different fish. Zak has great knowledge to share and knows key west well! He gave a lot of recommendations for food and different adventures! All were a success and great! Highly recommend!!!

    Our family booked a trip with Zack and Casual Monday Charters on January 28th. Despite the fact a recent storm had brought in colder water to the area and caused poor visibility, Zack made the best of it with taking our family to his favorite spots. He took us to a mangrove forest where my kids got to find starfish in the shallows, swing on an Instagram worthy swing, he showed my boys (9 and 11) how to trap crab, and we wrapped the trip up by going to a beach to find conche shells. Our trip with Zack was by far our best experience in Key West. Thanks Zack!

    Zak helped us have a wonderful experience out on the water and on the sandbar. He was easy to coordinate with before the trip and selected spots on the water based on our interests. His friendly personality and easy- going spirit made us all feel like we were with a great friend (who happens to be an expert on the area and waterways) for an awesome afternoon. Trust him when he encourages you to use the bean bag chairs- best afternoon!

    This was our 3rd Sandbar trip in the last couple of years and by far the best! I highly recommend Captain Zak. He's extremely knowledgeable and was completely open to whatever we wanted to do. He took us to 2 amazing sandbar spots and also took us for a ride through beautiful areas that only an experienced Captain in Key West would know. His boat was very comfortable and the perfect size for this trip, which is critical for an enjoyable ride. I highly recommend!

    What a fabulous day! I can’t say enough positive things about Zak and his business, Casual Mondays. Zak was warm, friendly and easy to spend a day with. While very safety oriented, he made our trip a lot of fun. He had great local knowledge of not only great snorkeling spots and sand bars, but also restaurants bars, sunset spots and even where we could take our dogs on Key West. The boat was spotless and provided a smooth ride even on a blustery day! We truly enjoyed our experience with Zak and can easily recommend a booking.

    We had a great time during our charter with Zak. The weather was being uncooperative, but Zak was flexible and was able to move our previously scheduled trip to a different day so the weather would be a bit better. His communication throughout the process was professional, flexible, and kind. Zak took us to the most beautiful spot and even though the weather was less than ideal we still had a relaxing, wonderful time. Zak is kind, easy to talk to, and has a commitment to doing business in a fair and ethical way. You will not be disappointed - we look forward to booking him again on our next trip in March 2023!

    Zak is the best! We booked a sandbar and sunset cruise. This was our second time to book with Casual Monday. He is full of information about the history of the area. He makes it a point to make sure everyone, of every age, has a great time. We visited a sandbar and the Key West swing. He shared facts about the tiny crabs we saw and how the scenery changes with the tides. He then took us to the dolphin playground where we saw several groups of dolphins playing. Last but not least, the amazing Key West sunset. Book with Zak @ Casual Monday and you will not be disappointed!

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would, Zak was brilliant!!
    Zak had everything I needed from the start, an up to date Instagram page, relaxed booking rules and super simple online booking system made me feel really confident.
    We met Zak at the boat dock in the morning for our half day excursion, he asked us what we would like to see/do with our time and went out of his way to accommodate us.
    We had a lovely tour of the island and then headed out to find Dolphins. On the way he stopped and showed us so many cool spots and then we headed over to the Sandbar. We were practically the only ones there and had loads of time to explore.
    Not only did Zak make that trip memorable, he gave us loads of recommendations for the rest of our trip!
    I wouldn't hesitate to book with Zak again and would highly recommend Casual Monday Charters.

    Captain Zak is friendly, knowledgeable, and all around awesome. He made our private excursion so fun and memorable. He took us to some amazing secluded spots for snorkeling and swimming and he provided tons of useful and interesting historical tid-bits about Key West. We will definitely charter with him again next time we visit Key West.

    Review of Casual Mondays Charters
    Pending review
    Fantastic cruise with Zak. We saw "everything"! Best snorkling I've seen in Key West on Sand Key, followed by a sighting of multiple dolphins. We then spent time on a warm delicious sandbar off a deserted island. Upon our return, with great music and the sun setting, we saw a manatee as our last "wow". Zak was a very entertaining and knowledgeable host with lots of local and sea knowledge. Six stars!!
