Learn all about the mangrove eco-system, while paddling through a maze of mangrove-canopied canals and streams, that are home to an incredible tropical array of birds, rays, sharks, sport fish, and more. And, no worries if you’ve never kayaked before; our kayaks are very stable sea kayaks that novices from ages 6 to 90 and beyond can easily paddle with a few simple instructions from your guide.

This was our first time to Key West. We came with friends. They have been on this tour before. I originally had my doubts about going snorkeling in February. The water had to be freezing. I couldn’t have been more excited about the weather: mid 70’s and sunny while the water was a perfect temperature . We sailed out to our first destination where we were to snorkel. The water was clear you could see the sand, coral and sponges on the bottom. I’ve never snorkeled before so I was more than a bit anxious. After 15 minutes in the water and calming myself it was a most pleasant experience. We saw comb jellyfish, silvery fish, lots of sponges, lobster, and a moray eel. After boarding the boat, the crew had a very nice lunch ready. Hold on to your plates! The tropical wind will play with your multi-tasking skills. We then sailed to our next destination for kayaking. This was really fun. We saw sting rays, barracuda, sea snake, spotted sea cucumber (if you hold one it may “poop” purple ink all over your hands), and sharks. One of the coolest experiences was kayaking through the mangrove. Then we finally sailed back to dock after a full day where we saw many Portuguese Man of War jellyfish. They were so cool. The crew served us fresh fruit in the morning and chips and salsa in the afternoon. We also had coolers of soda, sparkling water, and beer and wine. All this was inclusive in your cost of the sail. Last, but not least, Evan, our captain, and Molly and Mary, our deckhands were awesome. I would highly recommend sailing with them and getting to know them. This was an experience of a lifetime. In February no less.

We had so much fun with 13 guests and 4 awesome chicks manning the sails. Tour was well organized and super fun. We saw a sea turtle, star fish, sting ray, lobsters, finding Nemo fish, and so much more on the snorkeling section. The wet suits really help with buoyancy and our masks stayed clear with baby shampoo. The kayaking was awesome around the Mangrove island. Plus there is fruit, chips salsa, and a few brews on board. Would absolutely do this again.

Great boat and awesome, friendly crew. Had a great knowledge of the area and wildlife. We had a great time. Also, the small group size was nice. We highly recommend it.
