Dolphin Watch & Snorkel- Small Group- 4 Hours

Overview

Introducing Squid! The first USCG approved Lithium-Ion battery Electric Passenger boat in the USA. The quietest experience you will have on a boat while watching dolphins.
We worked with David Walworth, an MIT educated Naval Architect and Principal Engineer known for his high-efficiency catamaran designs, to build the perfect boat for our trips from scratch.

Our amazing crew are closely trained by our Honest Eco Biologists. Crew training starts on land with research and mission alignment before moving onto the water where we hone our seamanship skills and work to become as effective as possible at delivering on our Purpose.

We Work to Spread the Value of Wildlife Conservation
“People Protect What They Love.” Jacques Costeau said it, and it inspires us at Honest Eco as we work to help people discover and fall in love with the environment we are all part of.

We are continuously learning and pushing ourselves to be as environmentally responsible as possible.

My 19-year-old son and I booked this trip last minute. It was even more than we had hoped. Captains Jesse and Katie were amazing guides to our small group of 12. They were extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. We had some extremely curious dolphins including a baby entertain us as they stayed close to the boat for some time (within the first 15 minutes of starting the tour). We had a freshly prepared veggie plate with locally prepared hummus before heading to snorkel in a sponge bed. We saw a variety of fish, sponges, corral, and a few lobsters. Our leisurely trip back included more dolphins and a fresh fruit plate. It was a wonderful, relaxing, quiet tour, and I highly recommend it. Groups are limited to 20, so it is never crowded with plenty of viewing areas and shade. Highly recommend!!!

Our experience was absolutely amazing! First, the boat is actually very quiet thanks to the electric engine. Then, and most importantly, the staff was so knowledgeable and fun at the same time! They really explained what we were going to see, took the time to talk privately if we had questions about the marine life we saw. We took all the time we wanted to snorkel, and never feel pressured like it happens in so many other tours that stuff as many people as they can in a boat. On this one, we have space to sit and move around without having to fight for a spot to see the dolphins. Last but not least, their claim to be an eco-friendly tour is not just a marketing trick. They do pay attention not to use disposable plastic bottles, they explain how not to disturb the wildlife when we snorkel, and we even got tips at how to grow sustainable plants and fruits in Florida. The marine life was amazing, by far the best we saw in years.

My partner and I went to Key West on a whim after our Fourth of July plans were derailed by her family members getting COVID. We decided we wanted to snorkel, and booked Honest Eco based on the reviews here. We absolutely could not have been happier. When we arrived, it was only us and one other family group on the boat. There were supposed to be a few other people but their flight got delayed; apparently the crew booked them onto a later trip as a result, which is also nice to see--they didn't just get screwed. With that decided, we went to look for dolphins, and boy did we find them! We first went to the area called the "dolphin playground." We hoped to see a couple of dolphins from a distance, but instead a group of 25-30 showed up! Most of them ignored the boat, but a few were curious and came up to us, swimming right under and around the boat--they were so close that I got a little bit of spray from a blowhole! While we watched the dolphins cavort, Jacqueline and Brady explained their behavior and the science of the area. They were both extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot, plus DOLPHINS! After we watched the dolphins for a while, we set sail over to the snorkel site. We got in the water, and Jacqueline led us around, pointing out different kinds of fish and telling us all about them. We saw lobsters, pork fish, angel fish, tarpon, and even a barracuda! It was one of the best snorkeling trips I've done, both because of the guidance and the high quality equipment. Jacqueline also took pictures with her GoPro and sent them to us after the trip, which was great. On the way back we had some tasty snacks--hummus, veggies, and fruit--which was a welcome change from the fried food we'd been eating for a couple of days in Key West. The boat was also pleasant, with good seats, lots of viewing points, and even a bathroom. I should also point out that this wasn't the only time we sailed with Honest Eco--we also did a sunset cruise and fireworks viewing on the 4th, which my partner will be reviewing. That was a great time too, a small-group, BYOB antidote to the big party boats with mediocre bands and overpriced tickets. Being out on the Squid is a great time, and I highly recommend all of their tours!
