Allison is very down to earth and great to be around. Put us on fish and knows the area. My daughter was pumped after catching mahi and all sorts of snapper. Will be definitely referring her out and using her again. Thank you Allison for a great trip.

Alison was exceptional. As an outstanding captain, she made everyone feel safe and ensured our tour was a memorable experience! Our group included both experienced and novice snorkelers, and Alison’s knowledge and relaxed demeanor as a guide helped us make the most of our Keys charter. It was also a pleasure to connect with her, as she is a talented musician, part of a whole group of musicians. Additionally, as a military veteran, we are truly grateful for her service to our country.

Captain Alison was recommended by a local (quick tip: always listen to the locals!) and she did not disappoint! This was by far the best private charter we have ever booked. Alison is charismatic, fun, and knows her stuff when it come to fishing and water safety. Such a fun, productive day on the water. Almost every cast resulted in a fish in the boat or a broken line. Thanks, Alison for a terrific day on the water!

Awesome personalized charter. Ask for Mayday to “go with” if you’re doing sandbar and snorkeling trip. Best dog in the world and made the whole experience even better if that’s even possible. Captian Alison knows her sh$t and will customize your trip to your wishes. Definitely recommend.

We saw dolphins, sea turtles, and a 10-ft blue shark that circled our boat. On top of that, we caught some fish too. What an amazing day!

Capt Alison really took care of us. We initially wanted a chill sand bar day and she fully exceeded!! She brought snorkel gear for us to explore underwater and even her paddle board (just for me to realize I need work on that “hidden” talent). We were even lucky enough that she brought her PRECIOUS pup, Mayday!! We were so pleased with Alison’s charisma and nautical knowledge, we booked with her for a fishing trip. Again, another wonderful experience. I highly recommend Capt. Alison to tourist wanting to see the Keys as well as locals just wanting a good time!
