Great snorkeling trip in Marathon - We had a great time with Jody and Eric. It really was like snorkeling in an aquarium except that there were some waves. We swim in Lake Michigan, so it wasn't a problem, but if you aren't a confident swimmer, you'll want a calm day.

Great experience! - We spent a great morning with Mike and Jason on their boat, stopping once for snorkeling and once for the sand bar. They both are very friendly and ready to share their stories about the sea. They take their time , we never felt rushed to go back to the boat when we were in the water. It was very well organised, we can highly recommend this trip. All the best to you both from the French family living in Belgium !

A great day out with Sole Watersports - As a family of five, we all had a great morning with the team from Sole. The boat set up, equipment and safety measures were all superb, and really easy to find (it’s behind Sparkys). The fish we swam with at Coffins Patch were all amazing - literally thousands of fish - big and small. We headed out to the Sand bar, again really nice to flop out in 4 inches of water, 300 yards out to sea. We had 18 on board - a nice size. But I have to say we were treated to expert driving, an informed safety briefing and good chit chat from both Jody and Erik - both had great local knowledge, played good tunes and cracked some great jokes. You cannot beat a day on the water with these guys.

Excellent excursion - Wonderful boat ride! Snorkeling conditions were a little rough. However, the captain took us for a nice little cruise when everyone was finished snorkeling. Saw dolphins! I believe the crew was Chelsea and Jody

50th Birthday - The ocean was a little rough the day that we went. The crew was amazing and took fantastic care of the snorkelers and the passengers who got sick. They were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Would definitely go with them again!
