An Experience You Shouldn't Miss! - Joe and his crew of 2 young ladies were outstanding...no other word for it! They were very informative the entire trip and great hostesses as well! They had a delicious spread of fruit, chicken, and veggies with dips, as well as wraps. They were always ready to serve a drink...my personal favorite was the cranberry mimosas, :) Joe took us on a great ride, where we passed thru an area with 10-15 dolphins all swimming around playing, we were able to watch them for a good 1/2 hour or more. Then he took us further to a sandbar where we played in the water for 2 hours, and the girls even brought drinks out to the water for us. You could have of course just stayed sunbathing on the beautiful boat if you chose to...but of course no one did. It was a terrific experience and a great way to enjoy the ocean in Key West! I highly recommend !!!!
