Be prepared. - The captain and crew did a great job. There were 2 to 4' waves that day. If you get motion sickness, wear a Scoplamine patch or take bovine beforehand. Joe was great and very helpful. The crew did their best to make sure that everyone was safe and had a good time. Beautiful sea fans and many colorful species of fish. Gear and boat were in good shape as well. Had a good time despite the waves.

Incredible Experience! - For someone who has been scared of fish all her life, I was very apprehensive about doing this but the rest of my party were super keen. We had the best time EVER. Captain Brad and Scuba Joe were funny, engaging, knowledgeable and obviously cared about the reefs. The first stop on the reef was like swimming in a beautiful aquarium with colourful fish and coral. We were warned, due to the rough seas, we might not be able to go to the Christ of the Deep but we did and it was stunning, something I will always remember. Scuba Joe kept us entertained in-between and thank you for making me see that fish are not that scary!

Best company for snorkeling - I live in Florida and have been on many snorkel trips. This company is the best! Captain Katie and Nate the Mate were very professional and lots of fun. Their equipment is great. The masks fit and didn’t leak from heavy use, something I’ve encountered before. Their mask defogger actually worked! And they provided swim noodles to lay on top of, something I’ve not encountered before. This allowed weaker swimmers to completely relax and enjoy the view, and just made it more relaxing and enjoyable for stronger swimmers. Highly recommended!

Best experience of our trip - Amazing experience. Bucket list ticked. The crew Joe and Captain Katie , made the trip fun and reassuringly safe. My husband isn’t confident in the water but captain Katie was very patient and helped him get into the water. She was a star ⭐ I would highly recommend this tour, especially with this crew.

Great snorkel tour! - Amazing snorkel tour, though a few things to be aware of. Captains and crew were friendly and helpful and we stopped at two different coral reefs and saw a beautiful variety of fish (and even a stingray and a shark!) Seas were very rough, though, and this was a joint snorkel/scuba trip (meaning lots of gear on the boat). Overall, would highly recommend.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time! - The crew at Pirates Cove made the day very exciting and our entire family enjoyed the trip! Snorkeling conditions were fantastic (water temp, visibility, abundant sea life). The boat is comfortable and the crew was very accommodating! Would definitely book this excursion again!

Amazing Experience... Kate and Liber were fabulous! - Our half day snorkeling trip was amazing. Kate was our captain who was a beautiful, funny, and excellent guide. She kept everyone socializing and showing us all these neat things about the area. Liber did wonderful with assisting. My boyfriend was freaked out about snorkeling both Liber and Kate worked with him to calm down and that he would be ok. The reefs were beautiful. The water was a bit choppy but over all it was a great experience. I am definitely going to do this tour again when we are in the area.

Good times! - I had a blast; the Captain (sorry, I forgot his name) and Scuba Joe were awesome! They were super helpful and really made sure everything ran smoothly. When I struggled with my mask, they jumped right in to help me find one that fit. They were very attentive to the entire set of passengers, main this one of my most memorable tours in Key Largo.🤩🥳👍
