Additional Information
Searching for an opportunity to discover the stunning reefs in the Florida Keys? Do you also wish to embark on a snorkeling-friendly vessel? Then, you’ve found what you’re looking for! We are excited to introduce our latest tour using the newest snorkeling boat in Key Largo. We set off on our morning expeditions on our 2022 51’ catamaran, the Calypso, to the majestic John Pennekamp Coral Park. We snorkel at two different reefs, spending 45 minutes at each location. The reefs are no deeper than 25’, making it ideal for snorkelers. These reefs also rise to as shallow as 5-10’ from the surface in some areas, which is perfect for both young and adult snorkelers. We stop by some of the most highly sought-after sites like Christ of the Abyss, Horseshoe Reef, Grecian Rocks, Banana Reef, among others, daily (depending on weather conditions and mooring space availability at the dive sites).
We also provide complimentary refreshments, chips, reef-safe sunscreen, and all the necessary snorkeling gear!
- Children under age of 5 years old not allowed on board boat as passengers or snorkelers due to insurance restrictions.
- All persons participating in snorkeling must be able to swim. Non- swimming persons will be allowed on the boat as a passenger with purchase of the snorkel ticket but will not be allowed to get in the water.
- All persons participating in snorkeling must be able to climb ladder to come back on board vessel after snorkeling.

Excellent experience snorkeling - Everything looked new at the business and on the boat. Everything very efficient and organized. I wanted a wetsuit because I knew I would be cold in the water and they had them. Only $10 more! All equipment chosen for me fit perfectly. I went 2 days in a row! Such a good experience.

Great Day of Snorkeling - The crew, Mike and Emily, were amazing! Took us to 2 great snorkeling spots and we saw dolphins on the way back. Mike and Emily were professional, yet a lot of fun. A great attitude all the way around. Check in was seamless and all the staff was friendly and helpful.

Silent World is a MUST when snorkeling in Key Largo - My Mother and I took a trip to the keys to do some snorkeling. The trip we took with Silent World in Key Largo was fantastic! The front staff was great and THANKFULLY talked us into wetsuits! Then we seamlessly went to pick up our equipment which was a very smooth and quick process. Once on the ship, the crew members carefully explained all the equipment to be sure everyone understood (even the shy ones). After arriving at the first snorkeling location, the captain told us the best spots to visit. Although it stormed pretty bad earlier that day, the snorkeling visibility was AMAZING. We were able to see soo many fish! The crew memebers were extremely helpful with managing the equipment and answering any questions.

Best snorkel outfitter ever - This was probably the best outfitter I have ever been with. All the details were thought through, from start to finish. Everyone was super nice and helpful. Captain John and Emily on the boat were fabulous. I highly recommend them for any tour. We took the snorkel but I am sure the scuba is great as well!

Highlights from our anniversary trip - Had a great time snorkeling on the Calypso with Capt. John and Emily. They got us prime snorkeling spots at Grecian Rocks , and then at the Christ statue. We would book them again for other adventures in a heartbeat!

Amazing crew rough waters - The crew and people were awesome and amazing. The water conditions were terrible. They gave us warning that the waters were going to be rough though. One of the crew members even got in the water to help retrieve a lost item.

Great for established and new divers. - Fantastic experience and wonderfully helpful and friendly staff. Gabe did a great job as instructor for my 10 and 11 year old daughter to get their Jr. SCUBA certifications. Shoutout to Captain Mandy for cruising us out to the reef and back without issues. 10/10. Will do again.
