Good crew and had a great time - Great snorkel trip. It was choppy due to some cool weather coming in the night before, but crew made best of it. Went to Atlantic reef with lighthouse. Marta was great with instructions on snorkeling. Saw lots of fish even with the choppy water. Took us right to dolphins and got some great pictures. Really laid back and chill.

Barefoot Billy's is top notch! - What a great time we had! Our boat captain and Snorkel guide were outstanding! They provided a safe and comfortable and fun experience on our trip. I highly recommend Barefoot Billy's for any adventure. Some of the folks on our trip also did the jet ski tour and loved it as well. We will try that on our next trip.

Great Value and Fun - My husband and I went on this trip in February 2025. Our guides were Captain Scott and Marta. It was an outstanding experience. Scott and Marta are great tour guides and are very knowledgeable. I didn’t snorkel , just went along for the boat ride and I still thought it was a lot of fun. My husband did the snorkeling, and he thought that it was very good. We highly recommend this trip.

Great day on the Gulf! - We had a great time and we’re able to many dolphins up close on our beautiful day on Billy boat. The crew was very enthusiastic and fun! The snorkeling was ok at best while the water is very cool and a little cloudy made it not great conditions. The crew did a great job with instructions and care to have a good time!

Great tour - Zach and Charles were great. Learned so much about Key West, past and present. Fun tour. Great food and drink. Stopped the travel to let us enjoy a bunch of young dolphin playing with us and circling the boat. Completely recommend!!

Awesome time! - As we headed out to the reef, we had a pod of dolphins hang out with us for nearly an hour! The snorkeling allowed us to see many types of fish and even turtles. The boat itself is comfortable with plenty of seating. The crew helped us get the perfect fit for our masks, fins and wet suits. We enjoyed the assorted snacks and beverages as well. Barefoot Billy’s Dolphin Watching and Snorkeling Adventure is an absolute must-do. Thanks for a great time with captain Zach and First Mate Miah!

Great day out on the sea. - Super fun afternoon! Saw a whole lot of dolphins and interesting fish. The outing was really well planned - snorkeling outfit was accompanied by a floaty noodle which was comfy and felt safe.

Enjoyable experience - Organized through our hotel. We got a shuttle to pick us up at our hotel and drop us off. Smelled a little musty inside. The tour itself was nice. Was worried it would get canceled because of the rain but the rain ended pretty quick. Dolphins were a bit elusive but we did find some. They got right up next to our boat! Tried to get us snorkeling on the Atlantic side but water was too choppy. Took us to the coral nursery on the gulf side. Explained how to snorkel very well and got to see plenty of fish, a lobster and even a stingray. Light refreshments were provided. Martha and the captain were great otherwise.

Unfriendly/ Rude staff - The boat driver didn't take any effort to show us dolphins. People would radio in giving them the location but they seemed lazy and didn't try to get to those locations on time. We didn't end up seeing any dolphins on the tour. I get that it's not a guarantee but I'm disappointed that no effort was taken at all. The other staff member on board, Maya was just outright rude. She answered our questions with reluctance and was grumpy and unwelcoming the whole time.
