The reef
What you might see
The Florida Keys reef ecosystem is home to colorful tropical fish, coral formations, and a variety of marine life. Sightings often include parrotfish, angelfish, sergeant majors, and other reef species. Every snorkel stop is unique depending on conditions and wildlife activity that day.
Snorkeling locations vary from trip to trip depending on weather, wind, and water conditions to ensure the safest experience and best visibility. When conditions allow, two of our favorite spots are Hens and Chickens Reef and Cheeca Rocks, both known for their shallow coral formations, excellent visibility, and abundant tropical marine life. Your captain will choose the best site for the day’s conditions to provide the most enjoyable snorkeling experience possible.

We booked the sand bar cruise with Captain Chris and Sophia yesterday. We loved it so much we booked again today and added in the snorkel trip! Top notch service; Chris is an excellent captain and Sophia is a very impressive 1st mate! They are safety first, super friendly, I’d highly recommend Spray Watersports for any adventure with Chris, Sophia and crew! Thanks for making our vacation that much more awesome!

FUN FUN FUN! Took a trip to the sandbar, a definite must do! Chris and Sophie were the best. Chris handled the catamaran like art work, Smooth and professional. Sophie interacted with us and made sure all was well, she even had to stop another boat from coming a bit to close. She kept She the atmosphere light and happy but was watching our Surroundings to keep things safe at all times. I highly recommend this crew. I will be back!!!

This excursion so far surpassed my expectations! Sophie and Chris were excellent and in particular provided me with a mask that matched my vision prescription so I could fully appreciate seeing all the fish and coral! They had I’d cards on the boat so we could look up fish we had seen. Chris slowed down on the way back for us to check out a loggerhead sea turtle.

Snorkeling questions
No prior snorkeling experience is required, beginners are welcome and our crew will provide a short briefing before entering the water. However, basic swimming ability is required to participate in the snorkeling portion of the trip.
Yes. Mask, snorkel, and fins are included for guests who wish to snorkel. You are also welcome to bring your own equipment if you prefer. For safety reasons, full-face snorkel masks are not permitted.
Yes, if they are comfortable in the water: basic swimming ability is required for the snorkeling portion. Children 3 to 12 have their own price, and anyone who would rather not snorkel can relax aboard or enjoy the sandbar stop.
Alligator Reef Lighthouse is one of the most well-known snorkel sites in the Florida Keys, located about five miles offshore. When weather and sea conditions are favorable, we may visit this area. However, the exact snorkel location is always chosen by the captain based on factors like wind, waves, current, and water visibility to ensure the safest and most enjoyable experience. On some days, that means snorkeling closer reef sites that offer calmer conditions and excellent marine life viewing.
Snorkeling locations and the trip itinerary may be adjusted based on weather and sea conditions to ensure the best experience possible. If conditions are unsafe for the trip to operate, you will be offered the option to reschedule or receive a full refund.
