Not tailored for kids

2 Hour Trip – Turtle Dive5 adults3 children

Our kids are beginner snorkels and didn’t get any help while in water. We had to insist to get life jackets before they would put them on. Would be a better experience if we get more training upfront and go near harbor spot first before venturing out. Did not see any turtles while snorkeling but saw a massive pod of dolphins

Response from Charter operator

Hi Jackie, Thank you for your review. I spoke with the crew today about being more sensitive to the level of peoples ability in the water. We always do our best to try to gauge everyone comfort/ability level so that we can cater to those we need more attention.

    Amazing!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Steve brought us out Sunday morning. Made sure we knew what to do safety wise and headed right out. Saw a dolphin and some whales before catching us some Mahi Mahi! We got an average size one and got lucky with a monster. Was a great time for all if us!! Men bring your wife with! If she likes being on the water she'll love being out on the boat. Our 4 hour trip was definitely not long enough! Great job Steve!

    End of March

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    Captain and crew were nice. Trolled all day 7am-11am with no luck. It happens but i have yet to be skunked till now. This was right after the storm where the town flooded. The water was really murky until you get a few miles out. Saw lots of whales, some dolphins and a turtle.
