About
Snorkel excursions allow our guests to get in the water and experience the underwater environment up close and personal. Basic snorkel equipment is provided, and our experienced captains will make sure everyone in your group is comfortable and having fun. Our favorite locations for snorkeling are shallow and easy to swim, making our trips perfect for people of all skill levels. Your charter can also include stops at the sandbars and ecotouring for wildlife such as dolphins and manatees. The boat provides a large cooler with ice and waters, and guests are encouraged to bring food/drinks of their choice (alcohol is permitted, no glass bottles).
