We had a truly wonderful 2-hour sunset cruise with Henry. He was very knowledgable about the history and wildlife of the area, and we learned a great deal! We were treated to manatee and dolphin sightings as well as a natural bird sanctuary plus a gorgeous sunset. Highly recommend this experience; it was well worth the money spent.

Snorkeling to Alligator reef was awesome. Our guide, Henry, was also very friendly and accommodating. My daughter decided she didn't want to go so Henry kept her entertained on the boat while the rest of the family snorkeled.

Today we had the pleasure of taking a private charter to the Alligator Lighthouse. Captain Sam was very helpful and accommodating when setting it up, and we were so excited to go. Our Captain was Captain Meg and she was AMAZING! She was so knowledgable about the area and its history. She made the trip so much more than we could have imagined. I will definitely be reaching out to KeyZ next time we come to Islamorada and we would love to have Captain Meg at the helm again. If you are considering booking a charter here don’t hesitate and call KeyZ. It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you Captain Meg!

Our group had a great time with Keyz Charters. Captain Jessie was knowledgeable, friendly, and totally chill. She had no problem accommodating our request to visit Toilet Seat cut and hang our own decorated seat - which was very cool of her. We searched for crocodiles, but they didn’t cooperate. Saw a Pablo Escobar former associate’s unfinished house. We saw rays, turtles, sharks, and a ton of birds. We also snorkeled for a while. We capped off the adventure with a lovely sunset. It was a good day and Captain Jessie was a pro.

Did a snorkel trip with Captain Henry. He was awesome. We worried about how our 3 year old grandson would do. He warmed up to Henry right away and had a great time. The snorkeling was great and Henry had a plethora of information about the Keys, the reef, and sea life. If we do it again we have to have Captain Henry. Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled you had such a great time and that your 3 year old was able to enjoy the tour as well. We would love to get you back on the water with Henry on your next trip to the keys.

We booked another Sunset Cruise with KeyZ Charters last night and again had a great experience. Captain Jena was excellent and showed us various locations including Bird Nesting areas, Dolphins as well as Manatees- in addition to a great Subset. Captain Jena is very knowledgeable and very personable and we enjoyed our Sunset Cruise tremendously. Would highly suggest you consider Keyz Charters for your water excursions. This was our 2nd Cruise with KeyZ Charters and we will return again in the future.

Four of us took the 2 hour sunset cruise, but it also included a good amount of wildlife viewing. Our captain/guide was Sam, and she was very knowledgeable about the local birds and wildlife and was quite the naturalist. And, on top of it all, the sunset was spectacular. Would highly recommend this company and Sam personally.

We have an 18 month old, we spoke to Sam on the phone before booking and booked a 1 hour tour. She asked us what we wanted to see and she delivered everything we wanted to see, we had such a good time. Thank you for making our visit to the keys one we will never forget.

Capt. Jenna and Capt. Sam were the best. Had a two-hour sunset cruise booked for Friday but the weather didn't cooperate. Sam was quick to call and ask to reschedule on Saturday, which we could accommodate. Jenna took us out on Saturday and showed us the sights, including manatees, birds, and to our delight, dolphins that she was able to coax into playing in the boat's wake. We saw a great sunset and had a delightful time. You can't beat this experience -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We did the 1/2 day snorkel to Alligator Reef and sunset. Captain Jenna was our boat captain. We had an amazing time! She was knowledgeable about all of the wildlife and tried to point out and engage as many of the native Florida sea life as possible. We were able to see dolphins in the wild, even swimming and playing in the wake of the boat! Turtles swimming around the boat. We had an amazing snorkel in the clear waters around the reef. When we had our fill, she took us to bird island to see the cormorants. Then to a canal known for manatee! That was a special treat! We hadn’t thought we would get to see manatee. She took her time helping us scope them out and spending a good 1/2 hour watching several large manatee munch the sea grass! Then to Veterans Key to see more sea birds before watching the incredible sunset. It was absolutely amazing! My husband had looked forward to the adventure, but even he was delighted at how much fun and how amazing it was to see the animals up close. We highly, highly recommend KeyZ!!! We will be booking them when we bring our kids to Islamorada!
