Half Day Snorkel Trip on Reefs in the Florida Keys

Overview
Come join us snorkeling some of the most beautiful reefs within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and Pennekamp State Park. We have many possible reefs to explore: Molasses, Elbow, French Reef and the famous Christ of the Abyss on Dry Rocks. These protected areas offer an opportunity to see turtles, spotted eagle rays, moray eels and a variety of different fish. These special reefs are part of the 3rd largest living reef system in the world and the ONLY living coral reef in the US. We stop at two different locations on the reef. Each stop is determined by the captain based on the day's conditions. We cannot guarantee any specific site.

In an effort to reduce the amount of single-use plastic that ends up in our oceans, we recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. We have water coolers in our shop and on our boats for your convenience!

Captain John and Chrissy were awesome! Very helpful and knowledgeable. Saw a variety of fish and coral with excellent visibility. A good time had by all!

Other than the water being a little rough this trip was very good. Lots to see. Tons of colorful fish and many barracuda as well

We fully understand that the captain makes the decision as to the destination and to the viability of the trip. This is a safety thing and this policy was clearly communicated to us in advertisements, waiver language, and booking steps. It makes perfect sense and we have no problem with this. Nor do we have a problem with any policy related to condition-affected refunds or lack of. However, this dive operator might consider notifying guests before leaving the dock if conditions have dictated a lesser site and rough conditions. When it is known that conditions are poor (they were) and that visibility is bad (it was) and that the snorkeling experience will be far less than advertized (it was), it might actually benefit this dive operator and crew to make this known beforehand. Had we known, we'd have chosen to not go out--regardless of whether a refund or rain ticket might have been offered. Pirate Cove certainly cannot ensure good conditions, but it can notify customers beforehand that the sea is up and visibility is bad and that a lesser, alternate spot (like Grecian Rocks) has been selected by the captain. Communicating this information would be a better policy and should be considered.

Thank you taking the time to leave us your feedback. We do our best to let everyone know of conditions for each trip. We mention it in the shop, we post on a white board in shop and boat crew mentions conditions before the boat leaves the dock. This gives people a chance to cancel or do anther activity. Sometimes it is our best guess based on the information that is provided from all our weather/ wind apps and NOAA. If conditions are unsafe we will turn the boat around and so a mangrove snorkel instead. We will go over with all staff again to confirm everyone is letting people know of what we are expecting on excursion. Our goal is for you to have the best time possible. We hope you give us another chance.
