Best day of our vacation! We are a family of 6 with kids ages 6, 10, 15, 17. These guys are fun, good with kids, professional. They are beyond patient and always made us feel totally welcomed and relaxed. They took us to Alligator Reef Lighthouse to snorkel and to play at the sandbar. At the sandbar, they blew up floats for us to float in, got out a frisbee and football for the boys to throw around, and played the best music of any boat around us! They spent time to teach us things about the sea life around us. Each of my kids told me something they learned when they were excitedly chatting about what they did. Russ and Zander also brought snacks for us to enjoy—fresh fruit, chips, ice cold water, soft drinks. Oh, and they took pictures of us and sent them to us. You know the moms always do the picture taking and are never “in” the pictures. Well, these guys will make sure mom is included. I cannot recommend this company enough. We will definitely book another trip next time we come to Islamorada!!

My mother and I came down from British Columbia, Canada, for a mother-daughter trip for 2 weeks. We decided to take a day trip to Islamorada and go on a boat tour with Lighy Salted Charters, and boy did it not disappoint! It was definitely the highlight of our trip! From start to finish it was an exciting time. Zander is such a good host, and very knowledgeable about the area, and I learned quite a few interesting things about the area! He is also very charming, and always had a smile on his face, look out ladies ;) ! Our favorite part of our time with Zander, was going out to the Sandbar where I could actually go into the water and it never went past my thighs! The Pincho Barge rolled in and served us the best burgers we had ever had in Florida, I highly recommend them! We were fed and happy and well hydrated thanks to the abundance of water and other drinks on board. We will definitely be coming back, I look forward to another day out on the water with Zander!

Great day diving and fishing with Captain Zander. We booked a scuba charter through AquaThor Aquatics and it turned into a combined charter aboard Captain Zanders beautiful Twin Vee with Captain Ryan as our dive guide. These guys are great. Captain Ryan got our non diver fishing while we were below lobstering and we all had an amazing time. We have already booked a trip for next year. If you don't dive Captain Zander can take you fishing, to the sand bar to party or on a Sunset cruise. Can't go wrong with him.

Lightly Salted is very accommodating and like I said, I travel with three kids under 12. I forgot my towels and I had to get all of us into wetsuits. 😱 Needless to say Zander was an amazing help with towels and taking pictures and touring us around Islamorada.
We had a lot of fun just the six of us and by the end of the trip, I truly felt like I had made two new friends.

My wife and I and another couple of our friends went out for a four hour fish/sunset cruise.
We had an absolute blast. Zander got us on the fish and showed us a spectacular sunset. But the greatest was a 20 min dolphin show off the wake of his boat.
Have no doubt. Zander is the man. Can’t wait to book on our next trip. We even got him to join us for dinner and some cocktails after. His dinner recommendations were awesome too.

Our group of 6 adults joined Xander and Ryan for a FABULOUS full day outing…..cruising real estate, dolphin fishing and busting out to Cheeka Rocks for snorkeling before heading to the Sandbar for Sunday Funday! We had the best time. Everything I was hoping for and more. The guys are so well versed in local lore and knowledge of the area a real treat to spend the day with them….
Highly Highly recommend Lightly Salted Charter trip with Xander…..can’t wait to do it again!! Thanks Xander!!

My husband and I were in Islamorada for our honeymoon and really wanted a snorkeling / sandbar experience. We heard about Lightly Salted Charted from the Islamorada Facebook page. Let me tell you this was the best experience of the entire trip!! I had never snorkeled or done anything like this. Zander and Mike were so patient and knowledgeable. We saw barracuda, sea turtles, Bermuda chubs, and many other beautiful tropical colored fish. We also saw 3 dolphins swimming around and Zander got us close enough to get some amazing footage. The sandbar was so cool and there was a food boat with the best burgers in the Keys. Zander even had a tube he blew up for us to relax at the sandbar. Cold beverages ready for us! I would highly recommend Lightly Salted for any charter you need when down in Islamorada, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you Lightly Salted, this was truly an experience I will never forget!

THE BEST charter in Islamorada! Every time we’ve used Lightly Salted Charters we’ve had different sized groups of people with different activity requests. Captain Zander always makes it VERY easy for us to accomplish our unique vacation goals with our friends and family. We have enjoyed everything from snorkeling, fishing, sandbar parties, and sightseeing. They can facilitate an active or relaxing experience (or a little of both). It is always a great time with Lightly Salted Charters!

Zander and David were awesome on the trip today. We have never been to the sandbar, and the guys made the trip very convenient and fun. A quick trip to do some snorkeling in the bay before setting up at the sandbar was also a great experience for the kids. The guys were very accommodating and were willing to do whatever they could to make sure we had a great time. We would absolutely recommend this adventure to families and groups!

A true Keys experience. Zander and co. were fantastic and showed us a lot more than just than just a sandbar trip. We snorkeled at Alligator reef (most amazing snorkeling I've ever done), went conch diving, and made some friends on land too. We had so much fun the first day with him that when his next day tour had a travel delay we jumped in for a second day!
