Traveler reviews
A morning well spent!
Had a great day on the water with Tanner and Matt. They were very knowledgeable about EVERYTHING (sharks, dolphins, the waters, etc.). They were very patient with the guests' needs: answering questions, allowing the children to feed the sharks, and giving recommendations for local eateries, etc. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour!
Once in a lifetime experience!
We had an absolutely amazing, once in a lifetime experience on this trip! Both crew members were very knowledgeable and friendly, the boat was in a great condition and we were amazed by the number of lemon sharks that came and fed. We were also impressed with how determined they were to find the dolphins afterwards and we were lucky enough to spot three, they even swam past our boat! We were also highly impressed with how respectful they were towards both the sharks and dolphins-which you definitely don't always get on wildlife spotting trips. The biggest highlight though was that our three boys were given the amazing opportunity to feed the sharks! Fantastic memories to treasure forever! We would 100% recommend this trip to anyone!
If you love sharks, this tour is for you!
Excellent tour! I love sharks and was excited to see so many lemon sharks in the wild. The crew, Captain Tanner and Matt, were funny and very knowledgeable about the sharks and the waters around Key West. The catamaran was big enough for everyone to have a seat and also to stand and see the sharks when we were moored. Smooth ride out and back with a great breeze to cool off in the August heat. We saw a few bottlenose dolphins on our way back, too! Although the tour info says they chum for sharks, I was happy to see that “chumming” was just holding a bonito above the water for the sharks to snap at. No fish guts or blood or anything like that was dumped into the water. The sharks know where to meet the boat because of the sound the engines make. Super cool! I’d do it again and again!
It was a great...
It was a great experience, the guys were very nice! Gave off a lot of information and answered our questions even if it wasn’t about the tour. 10/10 would definitely do it again
Must Do in Key West!
Absolutely incredible experience again! We came to Key West 2 years ago for the first time and did this tour, we loved it. We came back and did it again and it was as good if not better than the first time. The captains are super knowledgeable, funny and will answer any questions you have.
