The company runs a variety of trips including public cocktail cruises, sandbar excursions, SNUBA and snorkeling tours, semi-private reef and wreck dives, private SCUBA charters for up to six divers, and extended Looe Key diving and sandbar charters.
Popular vessels include the 47' Cooper Marine power catamaran "Good Times," which accommodates up to 49 guests and features plush seating, a full open bar or BYOB options, a high-definition sound system, and included snorkel gear on many charters.
