With just six guests for a four hour trip you get a very personal experience. Stephanie stressed this wasn't a show they put on for tourists but a chance to see dolphins and sea turtles wild in their natural environment . No food is used to tempt them . So its up to luck and the skill of the captain. We were fortunate with at least two pods swimming under the boat at very close quarters (mothers and offspring) and an aerial out of water display from five rowdy males body slamming each other along with countless other sightings. Their breathing was actually audible from the boat. We circled two enormous sea turtles, never alarming them but close enough to get a really good view. Stephanie was quick to react to any sighting to make sure all the group got what they wanted whether photos or just the experience. I thought the snorkelling would be a let down after this, we were taken to a huge shallow sponge garden on a sandy bank . Were we swam over two Sting Rays, saw countless Angel Fish,Sergeant Fish, a Lobster, a Moray Eel, Stone Fish and Parrot Fish, our day was pretty much complete.
PS we wouldn't have seen the lobster without Stephanie's eagle eyes.

If you only have budget to make one boat trip make it this one.

One of the best tours we have been on. Amazing to be able to watch the Dolphins up close for such a long time. Captain Stephanie did a great job making the day memorable. The snorkeling was great and you really felt that you were the only boat out. We highly recommend this tour.

This activity was one of the highlights of our visit to Key West, and definitely one of the best dolphin watching I've ever done. They limit the guests to six on the boat, so it's a nice and comfortable excursion. Captain Rob was excellent, very knowledgable and friendly. We saw many, many dolphins, and for most of the time we were the only boat in the area. The reef had poor visibility due to earlier rain, so he took us instead to a sponge garden for our snorkelling. I have never seen anything like it; it was amazing! He snorkelled along with us and pointed out different fish, lobsters, moray eels, barracudas, etc. It was a fabulous trip, and I would definitely do it again, especially after seeing other loud boats with a million people on it. This one was just perfect.
