Adventure Watersport Charters - Key West, Florida

Absolutely do not book with this company. We had a 4 night trip to the tortugas planned for grouper season and they canceled the day before. No warning just claimed they couldn't get a captain.

Their communication has been horrible for months. We booked this trip in January to dive in May. Friends flew in from California. So much money wasted. Unbelievable

Five of my friends and I recently joined Adventure Watersport Charters for a 4 day/3 night Liveaboard Dive Trip and we had a blast!!! Captain Dega was FANTASTIC. He took us to some of his favorite dive sites which resulted in us coming home with plenty of lionfish and lobster (as well as one huge yellow jack). Dega also took us to Fort Jefferson where we spent our morning exploring before hopping back on the boat for some fresh coffee and a briefing for our first dive.

Dega worked with us to build a dive schedule that aligned with what we wanted to do/see (allowing us to do up to 6 dives per day) but ALWAYS ensured that safety came first. We loved starting our morning by hopping into our dive gear shortly after watching the sunrise and then ending the day with a warm meal under the stars (which were gorgeous since there isn't any light pollution).

The only "downside" of our trip was the weather as the forecast majorly shifted and we got caught in 5-6 ft seas (with the occasional 7-8 ft swell) - however, none of that is at the fault of Adventure Watersport Charters since weather can always change unexpectedly. On that note, Dega did everything in his power to make the ride back in as comfortable as possible and spent literal HOURS at the helm to get us back to dry land sooner rather than later.

I've lived in the Keys for 5+ years and wish I found out about this liveaboard company earlier as it was such a nice change of pace in comparison to your "normal" half-day (or even full-day) dive trip.

Looking forward to joining Adventure Watersports Charter for another trip!

The crew was awesome!!! If your cooking get the spear fishing add and fishing package. We caught grouper, amberjack, snapper, hog fish and lobster!!! Way more than the 8 of us could eat. Great fun and eating! Amazing diving locations and snorkeling. 3 of the 4 nights we woke up with an amazing view of Fort Jefferson. I highly recommend these guys! Amazing time had by all!

I have organized many trips for my diving group over the years but our recent trip to the Dry Tortugas and Marquesas Key was definitely one of the best. Kelly was incredibly helpful and informative in assisting me in booking the trip. Captains Jack and John were very welcoming and accommodating. They created a very laid back and relaxing atmosphere on the boat. The food was terrific! They provided a varied and plentiful menu. We had six divers on the boat (the max) but never felt like we were tripping over each other. The boat is clean and well maintained. Diving in the TER was great. Interesting sites with nice coral formations and swim throughs. Visibility was normal for the Keys (25 - 60 ft.) Seeing/touring Ft. Jefferson was a great experience. I highly recommend Adventure Watersport Charters to anyone looking for a dive trip off the beaten path!

Kerry and Jeff took us out and showed us some great spots. We had a great time fishing and caught a great haul. They’re laid back and have a fun, family owned atmosphere. They were super friendly and helpful; I’d you’re feeling anxious about the dive, these are the guys you wanna go with. We will definitely go back on another trip.

We have been on multiple diving trips with Adventure Water Sports in Key West. They were all wonderful experiences. We went on their Marquesas Key trip, and a trip to dive the reefs around Key West, and we did a 3 day "live aboard" dive trip to the Dry Tortugas, and they took us to the Cayman Salvage and the Vandenberg. They do not take many divers at a time so there is plenty of individual attention. We have met three of their captains (Jack, Brian, & John) and they are all fun to be around and they are happy to explain or teach. The Trip to the Dry Tortugas was amazing. We did 14 dives over 3 days. We saw lots of great marine life and pristine reefs on the first two days, and on the last day they took us to the Vandenberg & the Cayman Salvage. The Emily Anne is a comfortable boat and there is an air conditioned cabin if you need to get out of the sun. We had fun in between dives swimming around the boat and doing cannon balls off of the boat. There is a fresh water shower so that you can rinse off the salt after your dives. The food on the live aboard trip was delicious and plentiful. Kelly and Jack are good cooks! It was a great adventure with our two teenage daughters that we will remember forever. I would recommend them to anyone. If you want to dive around Key West or the Dry Tortugas then you should contact Adventure Water Sports..

Not sure why but while every other dive charter is going out this outfit couldn’t get off the dock. I had numerous emails and phone calls w Kelly arranging dives weeks ahead. Great trips were described but when it came time to book it all fell apart. When I arrived didn’t remember who I was I was and I was advised they were on weather hold for 3 days. Everyone else went out daily. They offered a Marguesas trip and it fell apart as fast as it was offered. 3 days of potential diving out the window. Not sure why - too far out of town, poor demand or poor scheduling I dont recommend this outfit. Great marketing, no product.

My wife and I went scuba diving and lobstering with these guys off of Key West. We had a fantastic day with Daniel and Jack (I think, sorry if I botched any names!) We left with a sack of lobster, which grilled up very, very nicely. Awesome day with a fun crew. They handled everything, and gave us a lot of great info on the sport and the area.
