We’ve chartered many boats, but this was very disappointing. Terrible communication from the charter company; boat was filthy and in disarray, and not the one we reserved (requested AC for elderly guests). However, Captain Carlos was great!

Amazing Trip to Dry Tortugas! When we got to the dock on originally scheduled day the boat was inoperable. Scruffy the Capitan jumped into action to see if there was another option. They found another boat for the next day which is impressive since it was a heavy spring break week. Boat trip to park was amazing, as was the National Park. After the Park we snorkeled in a fairly secluded location- we were the only ones moored! Snorkeling was amazing- saw my first shark! Gregg our Capitan quickly diverted the boat on the way home to see a huge pod of dolphins! Great option when ferry is booked.

Amazing experience! Capt Patrick was awesome and helped make it an awesome day. We traveled with five adults and an infant. It was great to have the private space inside the cabin to let the baby nap on the way there. We had plenty of time to explore both Fort Jefferson and Loggerhead Key on our 8 hour trip. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins on our way back!

We had a blast at Dry Tortugas! The ride to and from was smooth and Carlos was amazing! He was extremely helpful with information and history about Dry Tortugas as well as guiding us to food and restrooms etc. once we arrived. It was a very laid back experience and was amazing.

Our family had an amazing excursion to the Dry Tortugas with Captain Scruffy! SeaEO communicated well with us sending paperwork and updates frequently. As our excursion approached, SeaEO was very responsive to our last minute questions. Captain Scruffy is a great tour guide providing us with information on our destination as well as taking us to Loggerhead Lighthouse and showing us other highlights. Thanks for an amazing day!

A four hour trip with 11 family members ranging from young (4 you) to not so young (72 you). Everyone had a great time. Little fishing for the kids, sandbars and beaches for everyone. A great time was had by all. The boat itself was fine ( large with a cabin and head) but Captain Greg made the trip. I’ve been chartering boats in Key West for 20 years (from deep sea to family cruises) and Captain Greg was the best EVER!

Very enjoyable trip, it was a little cool and choppy but the captain did a great job keeping us out of the wind. We had a great time excellent sunset!

Exemplary customer service from beginning to end! JP was very informative and helpful to us in finding the best options for our group. My elderly mother was on board with us and they crew did a wonderful job in showing us the best of what Key West has to offer. Great fun at the sandbar, amazing sunset and the dolphin experience is one we will never forget. I have recommended this company to all friends and family and we would love to rent with them again on a future vacation. Thanks JP.

Very rough ride to the Tortugas!! Traveled at break-neck speeds of 35-42 miles per hour for the two hour trip each way. Got only 1hr 45min to explore the tortugas and swim. Captin Scruffy stressed us on timing the entire time saying he need to be back no later than 3pm for his next trip. Sent us the wrong directions on the island for the beach which wasted about 30min. Boat too small for 7ppl to enjoy. One of the engine stalled half way there. thought we would have 8hrs, we had less than 6hrs. Totally not the birthday experience I had planned for me and my friends. Very disappointing.

Beautiful 4 hour boat ride with Captain Scruffy. He customized our trip on a sunny but windy day to avoid some of the choppy waters. Great way to explore the keys.

Carlos took us to a sandbar and let the kids wander around and then drove us up the coast to see it all.

Captain Scruffy was amazing! He brought us to the best spots! He was very professional and knowledgeable. The boat was clean and safe! I recommend to all!

Captain Scruffy is hands down the best captain around. We got to experience a ton of breathtaking scenery, and learn a lot about out the area. Thank yall so much for making our anniversary very special for us! Will definitely be back again!

Booking with JP was easy and he answered all of my questions. The boat easily accommodated us, our 3 grown children, their spouses, and our 3 small grandchildren (11 ppl). I think the boat is newer and seemed to be on the high end of boats this size and style. The boat was easy to get on and off both to the dock and the water. The lower cabin allowed for the youngest to nap and have a quiet place. Carlos was our Captain and quickly helped us map out our day that met our many hopes for our time. It was a little cool for Florida but we hardly noticed. We swam, fished, stopped at a great restaurant for a quick bite and drink, and then went back to a beautiful beach where he took us fairly close to shore for swimming and photos. He was so helpful, flexible and accommodating. We always felt safe. We all had a blast and highly recommend this boat and Carlos.

We had a great day despite wind and occasional rain. We had planned a run to the Dry Tortugas and had to adjust due to weather. So we stayed closer to the keys and swam, snorkeled, had lunch at a local marina restaurant. Captain Carlos found a pod of dolphins so we got some great pictures and they swam along side the boat.

The communication was great in terms of letting me know schedule updates. They could have been more specific about where at the marina we met. Capt. Brian was awesome and laid back back. Took us to a dolphin spot in addition to the Tortugas. The Dry Tortugas was beautiful and amazing. The boat was awesome and fast.

Worked with JP to book and Captain Robert for our 4 hour charter; both were great. Our time of the water with Captain Robert took us to many islands and we saw the keys from a whole new vantage point. Loved sitting on the back of the boat while we cruised across the water, most relaxing.

Carlos was an amazing choice for a captain. We had a great time. The boat was comfortable for 8 pp and easy trip to dry Tortuga.

JP, the owner was very responsive and genuine when I called for details. We communicated via text to finalize the details, which made it really easy. Our captains were Carlos and Robert. You could not have wished for better guys to take you out on the water. They were extremely accommodating, knowledgeable and easy to chat with. We chose to have them take us to Fort Jefferson on Garden Key and Loggerhead Key to snorkel. The fort is not to be missed. The snorkeling at Loggerhead was also pretty darn cool. We had some extra time so they took us to a beach area approximately 30 minutes away from Stock Island where we started and finished out trip. Each of t the 6 of us will carry those amazing memories with us for years to come. We are fortunate they had the availability and I would hop on the chance to do it again.

In an effort to fulfill one of our Bucket list items we wanted to go to the Dry Tortugas. This dream was fulfilled by SEAEO LLC. Our ship captain Carlos made the trip very enjoyable. The Dry Tortugas is a must see. Fort Jefferson is amazing with all the details of design and size. After touring the Dry Tortugas Captain Carlo's took us snorkeling at Loggerhead Lighthouse. We were able to experience unspoiled reef. Very unique experience. This trip is a must for all.

We had the most incredible afternoon with SeaEO and Carlos. He took us to a sandbar where we drank champagne in the ocean and watched the sun go down. Truly an unforgettable experience. Carlos tailored every moment of the experience to our wishes. We will call him every time we are in Key West from now on.

Highly recommend Nautical Ventures for your charter boat experience! We had a group of about 10 women for a bacc party and we had a blast! JP and Brandon were so nice and accommodating! The boat was clean, comfortable and so nice! We spent all day with them and had the most amazing time!

Unbelievable charter boat experience in Key West!! We were able to choose where to go around Key West, hang out in the water. The Captain JT was super flexible, knowledgeable, helpful — lots of coolers for BYOB drinks and lunch. Will pre-load music playlist for you. I almost booked a “public” boat for my bachelorette but found him just in time and for similar affordable price. If you have a group of people, you can’t go wrong. He answers quickly and honestly!
