A memorable experience - The crew were great and we had a wonderful time. We saw four bottlenose dolphins just before we went snorkeling. I saw a ray and tons of tropical fish.

Amazing Crew! - Our crew was amazing. They went above and beyond to help me. I am handicap, and this was my first snorkeling trip since I have been handicap. Our captain Ashey and her crew mate Marta were wonderful. I highly recommend this place.

10/10 recommended - It was amazing! We were only 8 people and had a blast with the crew. We saw about 10 dolphins which even played around with the waves of the boat. I never thought I would see free dolphins that close. We will never forget the trip! The crew also seemed to care a lot about the animals which was important to us.

Two Experiences. Both great. Friendly Staff. - We did two experiences during our trip to Key West. First was a dolphin watch and snorkel tour with Ashley and Miah. Both were very friendly and helpful. They made sure we saw a ton of dolphins and got some great pictures. We came back two days later for a sunset cruise with Zach and Miah (again). During the trip, there was a woman who was unpleasant to the crew and they handled the whole thing with a lot of grace. Miah tried to talk to her, then apologized to us for the woman (even though it was not her fault at all) and Miah was clearly trying to handle the situation. Very professional. And we still had a great time on the water. I would definitely recommend Barefoot Billy’s and we’ll be using them on our next trip to Key West.

Great for first time snorkeling - It was my 13-year old niece’s first time snorkeling and Maya was so great at explaining everything to her. Ashley, the captain, did a great job finding the dolphin pod for us to observe. Very personal experience and not a booze cruise like some in Key West are. We had a great time and would book again if we are back in the area.

Great experience! Nice crew! - Super nice crew. Great trip. Saw many dolphins and snorkeling was very nice. The crew was very attentive with safety and to make sure we had a good experience. On the negative we departed 20 minutes late due to waiting for late passengers. I would recommend for the management to tell customers at time of booking to be on time or they will be rebooked. A few passengers should not be holding the boat from departing and interfere with the trip of the customers who were on time.

Enjoyed the tour and snorkeling - It was a great tour, but saw only one dolphin. But they can't help that; it was a windy day with choppy waters. Snorkeling was fun. Captain and first mate were great.

definitely don't recommend this tour. - There's a free shuttle service to the boat's departure point, picking you up from your hotel and returning you to your hotel. Free chips and drinks are offered during the tour. We weren't at all satisfied with the 3-hour tour. The captains circled the island for a full 90 minutes, and by the end of the 90 minutes, we were back where we started. Afterward, we set out very quickly to see the sea and saw a few dolphins. The main purpose of the tour was to observe dolphins and snorkel, to observe and observe ocean creatures. However, they didn't allow us to dive. They explained that snorkeling wasn't possible, citing poor weather conditions. Even though it was quite sunny and calm, and while all the boats were cruising the ocean, we turned off the engine and filled in the hour. When the tour ended, we called customer service to ask for a refund, but they refunded us a portion of our money. In conclusion, we definitely don't recommend this tour.
