What you'll do
For those with a sense of adventure, single passengers and couples alike, Capt. Steve offers a day trip to Boca Grande, an outlying island 17 miles West of Key West traveling through the back country of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Boca Grande, a nesting bird habitat, has one of the largest natural sandy beach in the Florida Keys and last year hosted over 20 turtle nests. We pull the boat up on the shore and spend the day reef snorkeling, dolphin watching, picnicking, and taking a casual stroll along the beach observing wildlife. The Keys are a migratory path for eagles and falcons and butterflies. And some months the shore dances with an array of butterfly heading South. Our reefs host over 300 species of colorful tropical fish. Pods of bottle nose dolphins live year round in the Florida Keys and often are seen just offshore teaching their young to catch food. We stop along the way at the shipwreck of U.S.S. Coral that was owned by Henry Ford and was the largest private yacht in the world at 200 ft in 1900. NBC.Com Travel recently featured Captain Steve's Eco-Tours as the best of the FL Keys and Key West!
My goal is to have a magical day on the water, tailoring to your interests and sharing my passion of the Florida Keys and Key West.

This was such an amazing experience. Captain Steve has thirty years of experience to share. He customized our outing and made the day magical. It is something different to see the keys from the eyes of a nature lover in such a personal setting (it was just three of us on the boat!). We learned so much about the area.m, eco systems, the people, and the areas rich history. We will book with him again.

Captain Steve was very personable and great at explaining the history and had extensive knowledge on plants, animals, and various other subjects. We saw Dolphins, we stopped at a beautiful secluded island with a beach, and went snorkeling. It was so great!
