PS book Key West catering and make sure Zach Wolf is your guy, talk about someone finding their calling "chefs kiss" the food was the best and local with great stories and descriptions of the culinary process! Loved it!
1000% Recommend!
We even had a small issue with our AC unit and Captain John was back at the boat at 11 o'clock at night helping us rip apart the unit to get it working again.
We have nothing but amazing things to say about Captain John and Amanda and we hope you too get lucky enough to have them show you around this beautiful island they call home.
Hannah checked us in and was very professional and friendly. Turns out she was from our own home town. Great service.
Then on 20 August 2024 we had this pleasure of meeting Captain John Emlet and Mate Amanda.
We cruised around Key West all afternoon and finished up at sunset. Not only were they informative and professional but a great couple.
Was if we had been friends for years. We had the most fun day at sea ever, and a great time staying with Blue Ocean Yacht Charters. The company and people are amazing and everyone needs to experience what we have. Highly recommended.
