Great half day on the water! - Captain Tim was terrific. We were running a bit late and he reassured us we will have plenty of time on the water. He got our teens fishing in no time, then took us to the sand bar for some kayaking and swimming. Will use again next year!!

Half-Day with Captain Tim - Our group had an amazing day out on the water with Captain Tim! We were immediately greeted with hospitality at the marina, and our group of six was very comfortable on-board. We loved the ability to customize our half-day trip, as we chose to do a few hours of snorkeling on the nearby reef in addition to a trip to the sandbars. The trip to both was short and comfortable, and our expectations were exceeded with both experiences! The first stop was the reef for snorkeling, and Captain Tim put us right on the fish! We saw numerous species of fish, coral, and other marine life, as Captain Tim gave us the freedom to explore the area. Afterwards, we took a quick cruise over to the local sandbar, where we used his provided paddle-board and kayaks to make a short trek from the boat to the sandbar. Our group had a great time relaxing at the sandbar and even had the chance to see horseshoe crabs, conch, and lobster in their natural habitat! All in all, we had an action-packed day thanks to Captain Tim, and would recommend this experience to any group!

Do it! - Definitely recommend going with your family. Highlight of our trip in the Keys. Responsible and respectful Captain. Would go again! We saw sharks, manatees, tarpon, dolphins, caught fish and kayaked around sunken ships and thru the mangrove.

How is this real life? - Captain Tim is an amazing host. From the second we booked, his communication was prompt and proactive. We had a beautiful day on the water. The wind kept us off the sandbar, but he called us the day before and had a wonderful back up plan in place. Kayaking through the mangroves and a day of swimming while the Top Gun pilots trained overhead does the soul good. You will not regret choosing Native Sun charters!

Must do - Tim was a great, and the time spent out on the water was well worth it. He asked us what we wanted to do upon arrival and he made it happen. Great weather and would definitely do it again. Thanks Tim.

Peaceful adventure on the ocean - Had another awesome adventure with Captain Tim! We booked Native Sun last time we were down. Kids loved the mangrove kayaking, wife loves snorkeling and I even caught a snapper. All around magical experience. Tim has real key west local flavor. Highly recommend!

THANK YOU to this company for refunding our money on short notice.. - Soo, the wind has been awful this week and our 18 and 19 year old daughters were really psyched to go snorkeling but Mother Nature decided to continue with winds over 20. While I was cautiously thinking that maybe we could go kayaking, I realized this was not going to be the excursion that we thought. We were scheduled to go out at 1pm today and I called just now to talk to Captain Tim about it all after he had taken the time to caution me a few days ago. He shockingly refunded me ALL of our money just now with only a few hours notice. I have to commend this company for doing the right thing by keeping us safe and refunding our money. I don't think other companies would have been this kind to do this! Thank you Captain Tim!

Thanksgiving Eve Adventure in Key West!! - Being out on the water with NATIVE SUN charters was agreeably, between the 3 couples who went on this experience, the Highlight of our Thanksgiving Trip! Captain Tim is a fun, knowledgeable, personable guy who enjoys making people happy and for you to enjoy your time out on the ocean. One of our wishes was to go snorkeling, but due to weather with wind and a rainstorm the previous day, the water was still churned up and hadn’t settled back to clear yet, that was not an option thanks to Mother Nature! We then opted for the sandbar swim. On our way there we were unexpectedly greeted by Dolphins which was a complete surprise even to Captain Tim! He said they are usually miles away from where we saw them!! They played in the water in front of us and then swam alongside his boat with us….. one even blew salt water through their blowhole onto the face of one of our party as she leaned over the edge of the boat as she watched them!! We headed off to the sandbar and swam for a bit in the gently rolling ocean. Upon climbing back onto the boat the Dolphins came to us and played some more with their breaching and playfully nudging each other! It was Awesome!! We ended our Special Day by having dinner at a Marina Restaurant suggested by Tim! Wonderful Wonderful Day! Thanks Tim!! ( FYI the information provided by aviator is not 100% accurate on details for this event but did not dampen our fun in any way! Just needs some attention to make it correct- I think I was even given the wrong slip #!)
