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!

The 4 day snorkeling and fishing trip for a family of 5 was amazing! The food was excellent and the captain and first mate took great care of us! We were surprised that our kids (ages 14-20) loved the fishing the best! The crew was very good about encouraging timid vacationers so that everyone had a great time. The fort, the snorkeling, the boating and the fishing were great!

What a great experience we had! Captain Jeff was awesome! Knew exactly where to put us on fish. Spencer helped us tremendously from baiting fish, rigging poles and teaching me especially how to fish! The boat is spacious, clean and has several upgraded features. I’ve never experienced a trip like this! Overall, I highly recommend this family owned business for your next charter.

First off, I never leave a bad review , however we (6) of us booked all day fishing trip well in advance (with deposit). 1 couple drove down from Chicago, 1 couple from Stuart, we are local, we were celebrating a BIG Birthday. After reaching out to them several times, we were told everything is a go, the morning before WE reached out again and was told there were engine issues, but no worry, we were put on another boat. great we thought everything was a go, Then several hr later we got the call that that boat was now having engine issues, HUMM, now we are beginning to wonder. then we were told they could keep looking for another boat, at this point after paying for rooms, food and travel, we got our money back, VERY DISAPPOINTING. We were not even offered a discount for another trip, will not recommend this company.

Absolutely a great time with great guys on an absolutely great boat! We got Louie (16) and Jenna(12) certified as Open Water Divers on the trip. Kerry was great and the kids had a great time. Merry is an awesome instructor and knows how to incorporate lots of fun into the training dives. On some dives, the kids didn't even realize we were doing training skills. The week went well and the kids even had the opportunity to do a wreck dive and try spearfishing/lobstering after their certification dives were done. They lived it and the ocean now has two new Open Water Divers! I would highly recommend AWC!

We just spent 4 days on board with Jeff and Cary, group of 6. The welcome was very smooth, boat was immaculate and fresh cookies were served on board upon arrival. Dive gear was modern and well maintained. We had 2 divers that needed to finish certification, online class must be completed prior to arrival. Cary takes over from there. The PADI certification was done over 4 subsequent dives, all under a close and watchful eye. We spent the next three days moving between dives and waking up at the next dive spot. We elected to pack our own food for the trip which worked extremely well, our crowd is more into the diving than the cuisine experience. Cary and Jeff are both experienced boat captains who will take excellent care of your family. Zero drama and always up for whatever adventure you desire. 5 stars all the way!!!

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.

The exquisite team of Captin Jeff and Dive Master Kerry offer one of the most unique experiences in Key West, FL. A laid back atmosphere coupled with extensive knowledge of the area means all are in for a great time. They will put you on the fish and you won't regret the hire. By far my favorite part of my current trip to the keys!

Disregard any bad or negative reviews!!!! Our group has been Spearfishing the tortuous for over 20 years this was our first trip with Adventure Watersport charters and we loved this one! We did a 4 day live-aboard Spearfishing trip to the Tortuga’s. These guys are the best at what they do!!! Everything was great from start to finish. From excellent communication on the front end, accommodations, food, spearing, even arranging for our fish being cleaned. These guys are a class act! If you are looking for Spearfishing or just a scuba trip this is a must. The best “Game” in town. The owners are making updates/upgrades to the boat as well! You really can’t beat these guys Jeff, Sandra, Kerry, and Missie are all super folks. We are working on our next trip already. We plan to do at least 2 trips with this group next time.

DO NOT BOOK THESE PEOPLE AROUND HOLIDAYS AS THEY MAY DECIDE TO TAKE THEIR OWN VACATION AND CANCEL ON YOU.

Kelly was super organized and a pleasure to work with leading up to our trip, and she's a great cook too! Captain Jack and DI Hunter were a great team, and made our trip one to remember. We will be back, if you will have us!!!!
