We originally booked a Looe Key reef snorkel, but the wind was too strong. Keys Boat Tours called with an option to go to the bay side and snorkle along the mangrove islands. We decided to go with that and adjusted the time to hit the slack tide.
Capt Brian was excellent. We rode out from Big Pine under the bridges and out to one of the bay islands. There were 5 of us. Three of us snorkled all along the mangrove island and were able to see many kinds of fish, barracuda and even a couple of small sharks. Two stayed close to the boat and snorkled with a noodle. Whatever your skill or swimming level, there's a way to enjoy the experience.
Capt Brian was great, knowing where to go and knowledgeable about the area. If you are looking for a private snorkel trip, I would highly recommend Keys Boat Tours. And also check out Capt Brian's guide book, The Road to Key West. It's packed full of information about the Lower Keys.

You DEFINITELY want to book this
My family and I went out with Captain Brian to snorkel at Looe Key and we had the most incredible time. It was a 4 hour excursion and there were 5 of us in the group. Every minute was filled with immense excitement and joy. Captain Brian himself is one of the coolest people we’ve ever met. He was so laid back, kind, and knowledgeable. The views at Looe Key were literally jaw dropping. It felt like we were inside of a big aquarium tank with the diversity of fish, corals, and colors we saw! We were lucky enough to see a nurse shark, a juvenile bull shark, hundreds of fish, a moray eel, a sting ray, conchs, etc.. It is a very happy and healthy coral reef and I still can’t believe I got to experience it first hand. I know there are other companies you could choose from to go to Looe Key, but none of them compare to Captain Brian. He even took the time to fog proof every pair of goggles so that we could have the best visibility the whole time. If you’re looking for amazing vibes, an experience you’ll talk about for the rest of your life, and a captain who’s whole goal is to ensure you have the most fantastic time, then you’ve got to book with Captain Brian.

It doesn't get much better than this!
We had a wonderful Snorkel Trip to Looe Key with Capt Brian and Capt Allison. There werr 7 of us--myself, my four tee age daighters and their 2 friends. Captain Brian and Captain Alli handled everything. I felt very safe with them watching over us in the water.. they handled all the gear and it was such an easy day for me as the mom. We saw an array of sea life on reef. We saw a sea turtle a barracuda, a shark, and a plethora of beautiful tropical fish. After we got our Phil of snorkeling, took us over to picnic Island to spend some time on the sandbar. We lounge in the hammock over the water and we had a swing on the swing which was an amazing experience. I highly and without reservation absolutelyrecommend Captain brian and Captain Allison. They are wonderful people and made a day very special for us. A+ plus plus highly recommend. The only downside was that our day had to en!!! .

Cluster communication
I would love to share how awesome it was, but after we booked it online, the vendor emailed us and said: psych! We didn't have space after all. You're on your own. And Expedia and Trip advisor obviously isn't talking to the vendor, since they still think we went.

Such a lie. We were out of town that week. We never even accepted the tour, nor did we accept payment. The word “psych” is not in our vocabulary. But, if it makes you feel good to take the time to leave a false review, that’s entirely up to you. I use to let this bother me, like with our only other one star review way back when. How that ate at me! But, it too was a booking error by TripAdvisor - not us. That said, taking your false negative review away woukd be appreciated and the right thing to do.

Fantastic snorkel experience
This was a fantastic snorkel experience. It was just us with Captain B. He took us to a location before the crowds came and away from the other boats that were already there. We saw lots of beautiful fish and a huge spiny lobster. The corals were beautiful. We had 100% freedom to enjoy our snorkel. We felt like we were alone on the reef. So worth it to go private.

Such a fun trip…even my teenagers enjoyed it!
Well, we actually didn’t snorkel Looe Key. The winds were too high and most operators were cancelling charter trips for the day - for most of the week, in fact. Captain Brian instead took us to a mangrove key, safe and shielded from the winds, and we got to explore around and underneath these mangrove islands. What an experience! It’s a different world down there. While we didn’t get to go reef snorkeling as planned, we still had a great adventure with Captain Brian!
