We had a great afternoon combo trip with Captain Mike. We snorkeled at Looe Key Reef, went fishing, and watched a lovely sunset. Beautiful waters and sights. Saw an amazing spotted eagle ray which was the highlight of the entire trip. Can’t wait to eat our catch! Thank you Captain Mike. Looking forward to next time!

Captain Mike is a serious maritime expert and a gracious host. My daughter’s and I had great time snorkeling the local reef’s and touring the shoreline. If you have chosen someone else, you have chosen wrongly.

Best captain ever. The reviews are right. I’ve been chartering in the keys for over a decade and can’t say that any of the charters were this good. The captain took us to all the right spots. We wanted fish he put us on fish. We wanted to visit the sandbar and he took us. He totally customized the trip for us. We will be back!!
