If I go back to Key West, I will definitely do another trip with Danger Charters. We did the snorkel & kayaking and it was great. The guide was fun and informative. This is a classier day trip not a crazy spring breakers adventure. Totally our style and pace. Would recommend them! |

This was by far the best part of our trip! When we got to the dock there was a big crowd waiting for the boat. I was so relieved when we found out that they were not a part of our group. Instead of about 30 people we had about a dozen people participating. Which was great because it was small and intimate with lots of individual attention. We really enjoyed the sailboat ride out to the mangroves. The crew even let us help with the sails. The kayaking was really fun. They divided us into 2 small groups and we went out in separate directions. After kayaking we went back to the boat and they brought us to a beautiful place to snorkel. I had never snorkeled before--and I'm a little nervous in water. But they were patient and kind, gave me simple instructions and even had a water noodle for me to use. I saw corals, sponges, fish, crabs, and someone in our group even saw an octopus! At one point I turned over on my back to see the sky, and it seemed as if I was alone in the ocean floating peacefully, with the sky as a bowl all around me! It was awe inspiring! I would recommend this trip to everyone. As I said, It was the best part of our trip! Well worth the cost, family friendly, instructional, and very fun! |

The crew was very helpful and informative. They made you feel at home right away and were always eager to help. The snorkeling was a bit dissapointing as everything was brown, and not much to see. The kyaking was great as we saw a lot more than we expected.........nurse shark, blue heron, bald eagle, etc. . I would recommend this to families as there were a variety of ages in our group ( around 5 yrs old to adult) and everything worked out fine. |

Great boat and crew, decent snorkeling and kayaking. Information about the environment and ecology provided by the crew was excellent. The sunset view from the boat was world class! |

With wife and my son we spent a very nice day. Because the weather was not good enough we were told that the day trip was cancelled, and had the opportunity to switch to the afternoon (they refund us the difference).
The weather was effectively sunny the afternoon, but windy too. We spent a wonderful moment. Snorkeling was first time for us : we saw a lot of fish, sponge and a turtle. Kayak was nice in the mangrove.
The crew very kind with us and the group, and really the explanations about the enviroment and what we were seeing excellent. In fact the most surprising part of the trip for me. Our guide had a high knowledege. From fighter jet crossing the sky over the Keys to all animals, plants and everything we were watching.
Even if the weather was a little bit too cold, we spent an marvelous day, and my son, fifteen years old, normally difficult to convince for a trip with mom and dad was really happy when we came back. |

We had a wonderful experience with Bosco, Kayla and Jen sailing toward Mule Key, snorkeling and kayaking. We saw herons, cormorants and bald eagles on our kayak trip around Mule Key and though not a lot of fish when snorkeling, Kayla was an excellent guide in and out of the water. Jen and Bosco were also thoroughly knowledgeable and professional. These folks really make you feel welcome and comfortable, even if you don't have a lot of experience with any of these activities. They served us cold drinks and healthy snacks throughout the trip. We felt like we were in excellent hands and had a very memorable experience of the nautral Key West. |

they promote themselves as the best, and they were very good, and very personable, but they over promoted themselves in that they didn't have as many prescription masks as they say and some equipment was not in great shape that they tried to pass off and only replaced when pressured. They had a seat where you could sit and a place for backpacks etc. but they needed to get to storage underneath a couple of times which meant anyone sitting lost their seat and backpacks had to be relocated. It was somewhat ackward. |

My wife and I went on the half day Snorkel, Kayak & Sail with Danger Charters. We were in a group of 19 or 20. The small number of people gave us a chance to get to know the crew and the people on board. Everything was "as advertised." Fresh fruit and cold water and sodas on the way out. I even got to help raise one of the sails. The crew was very helpful instructing us on the finer points of kayaking and snorkeling. We kayaked around one of the islands and Michelle was very informative about the area and the wildlife that we saw. The snorkeling was fun but I was disappointed that we were not able to go to a coral reef. On the way back in we were served wine and beer along with chips, salsa and hummus dip. All in all it was a most enjoyable experience and in my opinion much better than taking one of the "cattle boats" with Fury that carried 2 or 3 times as many people. |

Crew was very engaging, informative and fun. Small groups provided interaction; not a cattle trip. We had a great time and would recommend to friends and future travelers. |

Christian, Wade and Billy were awesome and took good care of us. Plenty of beer and snacks. The education, sailing, snorkeling and kayaking were great. Was kind of hoping for a bit more kayaking/paddling/exercise but I can do that at home. All in all....very fun |
