Bailey our Captain and Aiden our Deckhand were awesome. Extremely attentive and very informative. It was quite obvious that Bailey is quite an accomplished sailor. She and Aiden were full of local knowledge and shared continuously throughout the day. We saw many wild dolphins and had numerous opportunities to take some great photos. We all enjoyed snorkeling on the reef. Aiden was extremely helpful especially with the new and beginner snorkelers. Thanks, again to Bailey and Aiden for a great afternoon on the water. They were a great team and made our day special and memorable. We booked directly with Echo. Easy and problem free. We originally had a group of 10 and had to cancel 2 couples due to medical issues. They refunded us without any issues. Andrea, Rob, Karen, Joe, Jeannie & Joey

My three sisters and I had a fabulous time! The day couldn't of been any nicer. I believe all of us on the vessel enjoyed the Dolphins and Snorkeling! Our captain Brian and mate Victoria made our day full of fun. As we headed back to the docks, it was raining in the distance and Brian did do his best trying to avoid that rain. It was also sunny! There was a gorgeous double rainbow, that just topped off the entire trip😃 Thank you for the great day! Boston Sister's

This is a great option if you’re looking to get out on the water with a small group and not a big party boat. But we did not see any dolphins and I don’t think the captain was really looking for any. I understand that it’s hit or miss, but from the start of the trip at the dock the Captain kept repeating “I don’t guarantee to see dolphins” and on our return back to the dock he sped right through “dolphin playground” and then we “toured” the harbor because we had extra time. The snorkeling was ok. We were in a spot with only our group so that was enjoyable, but i think they are better places to snorkel in the keys. Mate Aiden was wonderful and friendly.

We had a fantastic day with the Echo boat and crew Captain Brian and mate Aiden. They have a great boat and we really appreciate their service. Saw a pod of dolphins and enjoyed the snorkeling. This is a first rate experience. I highly recommend it. The boat seats 14 people or so and was not crowded like many of the others we saw. Aiden is very knowledgeable of the water and area and provided great conversation of it all. Thank you both.

Plus: Saw dolphins frequently and close-by. Minus: The snorkeling site was a far away but not worth the trip: low visibility, very few fish, no colors. Only lots of sand-covered sponges.
