Capt Alex is very knowledgeable about the island. We had a great time snorkeling and a fantastic lunch prepared by capt Alex. I did my research for weeks about who would take the 6 of us out and I'm so glad I picked islescapes. More

By chance I read about Captain Alex and Islescapes on TA. When I made the reservation, I explained that my husband has difficulty with balance which Capt. Alex assured me was not a problem. He was very helpful assisting my husband while he boarded the vessel and again when he climbed a small ladder topside where we joined 2 other... More

Our friends had set up the trip and we did not know what to expect. We started out at 10am. Capt. Alex filled us in on the 4 hours of activities. Safety was a high priority, which is important for me with my limited snorkeling experience. He took us to a quiet shallow area to get used to snorkeling. Then... More

After a few great sunset dinner cruises with Captain Alex, we decided to try a day trip complete with snorkeling and private island beach picnic. As usual, it was a great time, super relaxing and Captain Alex is very accommodating and happy to customize the trips for his customers. A super cool, laid back guy that maintains a high standard...

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner on a romantic boat trip with Capt Alex. The food and view were so amazing. There was only one other couple on the boat and we enjoyed their company. Capt Alex was a charming host. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for good food in a quiet atmosphere. We dined... More

A gang of 6 wanted to celebrate the 40th birthday of our friend. The birthday boy was adamant about having grilled steak because, well... he loves steak. I looked at all of the options on the internet such as the big party catamarans. That was not for us. We wanted exclusivity. But most of all… we needed a private boat... More

We really enjoyed our evening! It was nice to be out on the water. The food and service were good, with very nice touches, like cloth tableclothes and napkins. We would definately do this again! More

Captain Alex took us out at about 4:30 p.m. for about three hours for a laid back evening to enjoy the sunset and dine on deck. He served up a delicious dinner to boot. The food is on par with many of the fine restaurants in town. When you make your reservation, he takes your dinner choices. It's byob, no... More

LOVED this sunset dinner cruise. The sunset was great, the food was definitely gourmet, the service was the best. We have been to Key West four times and this is, by far, our best experience here. I cannot imagine topping this. More

I was glad to find Captain Alex and his dinner "cruise" on Tripadvisor. The Dinner event is highly rated, and deserves the accolades. My husband and I had a fantastic experience! Intimate (only a max of 6 people), yet warm and friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend it! More
