Another great trip with Capt Howie and MISC! This is our 5th or 6th trip with them. Spotted a turtle, great snorkeling, and chillin on the sandbar! Brandy DunkinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our best aftermarket in Key West. We have chartered with Captain Howie three times over the last two years. This trip we went to a beautiful sandbar, explored the mangroves, and watched a pod of dolphins. Capt. Howie is a great host and a wealth of local knowledge. We will go again the next time we are in the Zkeys. Barbara BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a really fun day, with a wonderful skipper!

She took us through mangroves and pointed out wildlife and showed us where hidden beaches and swings were for great photo ops. We then went to a sandbar and enjoyed being in the water. 10/10 everyone should book with them while in Key West. Highly recommend. Great experience and one of the highlights of our trips. Allie YoumansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Howie is a one of a kind. He is truly knowledgeable when it comes to navigating the waters around Key West. He took us to a a beautiful sandbar for swimming, then a backstage tour through the mangroves where he introduced us to Ralph the pelican ????. Then we went to two little fishing areas where we caught a barracuda and a snapper! We had a blast on the water and will never forget the fun we had with Captain Howie. Wish I could give 100 stars! Highly recommend this experience. Veronica ShafferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Howe was awesome, he went above and beyond to show us a good time and his 1st Mate Gabby was amazing, she showed us her secret swimming spot! Peter LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic day with Captain Howie! His charter service came highly recommended by some Iowa friends who use him frequently. Captain Howie was very attentive to the type of personal experience we wanted for our day/sunset cruise and he did not disappoint. He not only explained where we were boating, but filled us in on the local lore and history of the waters. We saw a lot of sea life including a sea turtle, egrets , cranes and dolphins. Captain Howie even gave us great recommendations for restaurants and bars when we went into Key West. There are so many charters to choose from but we were tremendously satisfied with our choice. We will certainly be booking with him again when we return to Key West! Tina HansenVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
