A beautiful, relaxing morning - Like having a friend with a boat who could navigate the waterways in his sleep. - We left just before 10 am and came back at 130 pm. We visited three spots ending at a sandbar at Snipe Point, which was our favorite. We took out paddle boards, snorkeled, explored. Vaughn was an affable, helpful, well-informed (about the waterways, wild life, area history) host and a safe, skilled boat captain. He struck the perfect balance of easy conversation/helpful guide, while still giving our family plenty of space to enjoy the time together. For our family, it was a much-needed, delightful retreat away from the busy-ness and crowds of Old Town, out into the beautiful waters of the Gulf.

#5☆/tour/keywest! - Amazing Tour with Captain Vaughn. Outstanding knowledge of Key West and goes the extra mile. 100% will book this tour on our return.

Best Tour on Key West - What an amazing day! Key West is beautiful and Vaughn was a great captain! He was knowledgeable, personable and accommodating. We highly recommend him!

Great Experiwncw - Enjoyed great day on the water! Well worth it to do private trip! Best part of our trip to Key West. Captain Vaughn had great historical knowledge of the keys which added to the trip!

Do it! - Vaughn was amazing. Highly recommend for an authentic keys experience out to the sandbars. If you’re really lucky the dolphins will put on a show on your way out!

Cool local excursion - This was an amazing experience for us. We watched dolphins (lots of dolphins) and sea turtles, swam in clear water, had amazing photo ops and just enjoyed a great day with a knowledgeable and fun local. Everything was off the beaten path and well worth the trip.

Great trip! Fun experience! - Great experience! There was a mistake from the booking site on the time of our tour. Vaughn handled it very well, but I would suggest verifying your time the night before. Vaughn took us to several islands to enjoy snorkeling, paddle boarding, site seeing, etc. We had a dolphin and shark encounter that was very cool! Would recommend this trip to anyone!

Private Key West Charter - Vaughn is AWESOME! He was so sweet and knowledgeable about the Keys. He took us to a beautiful sandbar and mangroves. We fished, snorkeled, paddle boarded and cruised! The seaweed on Key West beaches was not so great…we loved going to beautiful beaches without seaweed.

Perfect boat adventure! - Captain Willis was a great tour guide. Letting us do our own thing and not feeling rushed was phenomenal. He joked and laughed with our group and made it feel like we were just on a friends boat. FIVE STARS!!! We will be back!

A great way to avoid the heat! - Just let Vaughn know how you want to spend your day and he will make it happen! We had a great day making the rounds to several sandbars we hadn’t been to before. Weather worked to our favor and it was time well spent!
