We had an incredible day with Captain Chris. He was courteous and pleasant, making everything perfect for our time on the boat. The weather allowed us to visit Alligator Reef, and we cruised the sound to escape rough seas before reaching the sandbar. There, he prepared delicious burgers while we floated, relaxed, enjoyed drinks, and sang. He took care of everything. I would give this a 10/10 and highly recommend him.
This was truly the best investment I've ever made. The experience exceeded my expectations thanks to Captain Chris, who was remarkable in addressing our every need. We snorkeled at the lighthouse and then headed to the sand bar, which was unforgettable. He had plenty of water toys and floats for the kids and grilled delicious cheeseburgers. Everything was organized, making it easy for us to just show up. Communication before the trip was excellent, ensuring we had everything we wanted. Both Captain Chris and Noah are highly trained Coast Guard personnel, so I felt completely safe in the water. Noah even joined my son for snorkeling. If I could rate them beyond five stars, I definitely would. If you’re on the fence about booking, go for it; everyone deserves an adventure with Captain Chris.
Captain Chris truly enhanced our experience in South Florida. Our charter became the pinnacle of our stay in Islamorada. While celebrating a friend's birthday, we encountered other charters at the sandbar, and it was obvious we were on the best one. Captain Chris picked us up from a convenient spot and had everything prepared for a fantastic day at sea: flotation devices, water toys, ample shade, and a continuous flow of positive energy. He ensured we had all we required while maintaining a fun and laid-back atmosphere. His local knowledge was impressive, and his dedication to making our day perfect was remarkable. Plus, his cheeseburgers were fantastic. We are definitely returning for another adventure with Captain Chris and Vita Vistas Boating. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking an extraordinary day at the sandbar in the Keys.
We went from being completely new to sandbars to feeling like pros on the water. Our friend’s birthday party near Islamorada became an unforgettable event, all thanks to Captain Chris. He provided everything we needed — a water hammock, paddleboard, snorkeling equipment, and even grilled his famous burgers for us right on the water. He handled all logistics, from transporting us and our gear to dropping us off at a seafood restaurant. Captain Chris was not only our guide, but also a chef and the ultimate good vibes creator, elevating the whole experience.
The half-day boat adventure was absolutely amazing. We explored the mangroves, visited the lighthouse, and spent time at the sand bar. Experiencing the Keys by boat was so much fun. Captain Chris knew all the best spots and shared fascinating stories. We will certainly book with him again; it’s a must-do!
We had a wonderful day out on the water. It was incredibly fun, and Noah was punctual, knowledgeable about the area, and exceeded our expectations. He inquired about our interests and tailored the day to our preferences. It was truly an unforgettable experience.
Captain Chris is fantastic! He has a lovely and comfy boat stocked with everything needed. He’s friendly, professional, and enjoyable to be around. I had an awesome time and would certainly join him on another trip!
This experience was the best part of our trip, thanks to Captain Chris. He was flexible with our schedule given the weather and ensured we had a fantastic afternoon. As a Coast Guard member, his expertise in navigation made us feel secure, which is essential when traveling with young kids. The boat was very comfortable, and there was plenty of shade available. We enjoyed snorkeling with provided equipment and had a blast at the sandbar in the ocean. My two teenage granddaughters also had a wonderful time. Don't hesitate to ask Chris questions; he has plenty of interesting facts and stories to share. I highly recommend Captain Chris and Vita Vistas Boating.
We had an excellent day on the water. Ryan was friendly and engaging with my kids. The boat was clean, and we really enjoyed our time at the sandbar.
Ryan was a fantastic captain, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We encountered a sea turtle, had a blast at the sandbags, and even had dolphins swimming alongside our boat, playing in the wake. It truly was a wonderful afternoon.
