Trips are customizable - to a point. Your friendly, knowledgeable guide has experience with all sorts of ocean activities and knows the waters around the Lower Keys really well. So there are a few different areas to choose from on where to go and we can decide based on weather, wind, etc. There is the option to bring up to 2 kayaks ($25 rental fee per kayak). Snorkel equipment available (just let us know in advance sizes). The guide would be glad to hop in and point things out just let him know ahead of time. Possibility of seeing dolphins. We love the ocean and have a passion for being on or under the water! Also we are kid friendly!

as stated above, we fished, snorkel, and hung out on the sandbar in addition to a terrific boat ride and a beautiful sun
We are a family of six. Two grandparents two parents and two kids – – eight and 10. Captain Jeff took us out on private four hour boat ride. It included snorkeling fishing, and a sandbar it was just wonderful and he was great. Each event was perfect, in the perfect spot in the water. It was the highlight of our trip. I couldn’t recommend it more enthusiastically

New Family Tradition!
We had an absolutely incredible day with Jeff at Nice Guy Charters, and I can’t recommend him highly enough—especially for families. Jeff was unbelievably kind and patient with our group, including our little girls, and he truly made the entire experience magical for them (and for us).
He handled everything so seamlessly: took us snorkeling, brought us to the sandbar, went dolphin watching, and then put us right on the fish. He knew exactly where to take us—at one point it felt like the fish were practically jumping into the boat! Jeff baited all the hooks, helped the girls reel in their catches, and gently assisted them with throwing the fish back, which made them feel like real pros.
My kids were in absolute heaven the entire time. My wife was thrilled too—it was relaxing, fun, and completely stress-free because Jeff had everything under control. The day felt effortless and joyful from start to finish.
This trip was pure magic for our family, and we’ve officially started a new annual tradition. If you’re looking for an unforgettable Key West experience with someone who truly cares and knows exactly what he’s doing, Jeff is your guy.

Experienced and flexible.
Jeff was a great boat captain. He shared options and took us where we wanted to go, but also read the group and offered options when he could see that we might need something else. He was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Private Boat Charter with Captain Jeff
Captain Jeff accommodated exactly what we wanted to do; snorkeling, fishing, and relaxing on a sandbar. He also showed us some beautiful waterways through the mangroves in the gulf side. Very knowledgeable and friendly. My family had a great time.

Beautiful day on water
Captain Jeff was great. We had a great time snorkeling, hanging out at our own sandbar and even diving around an old shipwreck. Jeff caught some lobsters to show us and taught us about the history of the keys and our whole family had an amazing day.

Lots of fish
Captain Jeff had me reeling in a fish 30 seconds after we came to a stop and I continued to reel in fish, big and small, all day. I can't wait to get back down there so I can do it again.
Operator response
Thanks Mike it was a fun day!
