We run 3 purpose built dive and snorkel boats. These provide comfort and safety for customers seeking a more exclusive trip than your ordinary tour boat.
Each boat is licensed and inspected by the coast guard for 22 passengers, to insure high levels of comfort we only take a maximum of 12 passengers, if we were an airline these would be premium seats.
Being a coast guard inspected vessels means that we carry essential additional safety equipment that boats only carrying 6 customers or less do not have to carry. The Coast Guard also oversees our emergency boat drills yearly to ensure all safety equipment works and we have the relevant training to use it.
Located in the Pilot House Marina in the center of key largo we have 2 trips daily at 8am and 1pm each trip is scheduled for 3.5 hours. Journey time the reef is 35 mins giving two 1 hour stops on the reef.
We have restrooms and showers right next to out shop on the dock for customers to use and ample parking is available.
There are 2 amazing restaurants in the harbor serving a great selection of local food.
Our exceptionally knowledgeable crews will make suggestions for the best places to visit given the conditions on the day and you can make the choice of what you would like to see.
We have many sites where we can take you to see schools of colorful fish, eels, Turtles, Eagle Rays, Sharks and of course the amazing corals that grace our reefs. See the interaction of fish as they go about their daily lives and you may see Turtles or Eagle rays majestically pass by you.
A full range of high quality SCUBA diving equipment is available to rent on a trip by trip basis. Snorkel equipment is provided for free whilst you are on our boats and wetsuits, if required, are available for a small additional charge.
Our commitment to the environment and the fragile eco system we operate in drives our passion for protecting the ocean and the amazing sights there are to see along the Key Largo coastline.
As a Blue Star operator we are accredited by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). All of our crew members and staff undertake conservation training each year so we can help look after the fragile coral reef.
The Florida Keys is the only living reef in the US and the 3rd largest reef in the world after the great barrier reef in Australia and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System off the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.
Elevating our customers experience is our commitment to top-tier customer service, ensuring your tour is not just memorable but also enriched with information and care.
