    My wife and I try to get to KW at least twice a year. Since we were introduced to Ally several years ago, a day out on the water with Island to Island Charters has become the highlight of every visit since! Captain Ally is not only a safe and capable skipper, she's also extremely knowledgeable of local wildlife and she's got a keen eye for sightings! Her unbridled joy is infectious with each species she happily points out. Over the years, we've added friends and family to her passenger list and she's treated them all as if she's known them as long we have. She is one of the kindest, most inclusive people we know... even by Key West standards! If you're taking a vacation to the Keys and you don't plan time out on the water, you really haven't visited the Keys. If you want your time on the water to be fun, safe, friendly and "eco-cational"... you can't go wrong with Island to Island Charters!

    The best tour you can get to experience the best part of the U.S! Ally’s trip are so fulfilling and leave you wanting to go again and again. You can tell Ally is very passionate and loves what she does. Also very very knowledgeable. I have been on many tours in the keys and Ally’s tours are 1000 times better than any major tour company. Her charters are centered around you and only you and what you want out of the trip and she really does do everything she can to make that happen. Whether it is catch fish, see dolphins, snorkel or all of the above. Also the snorkeling is amazing from the reefs to the boat wrecks. To experience the keys this is the best and only way to go! Even got found some massive conch shells to take home!

    Captain Ally was the perfect captain for my family. Our charter was the grand finale of a week trip in Florida and we wanted a captain that lived, loved, breathed, and wanted to share the lower Keys. We learned about tides, snorkeled ship wrecks, strolled the beach of an uninhabited isle, followed a spotted eagle ray, saw a giant bull shark, and caught sparkling fish that grunted back at us. My family is not the most emotionally gratifying team to hang out with, but Captain Ally made it a beautiful, memorable, cherished day.

    When locals repeatedly choose to use a company and a captain that should tell you something. Captain Ally is the most passionate person I've ever met when it comes to Key West’s ecosystem. She respects every living creature under the sea and will find them for you as if they are old friends. She delights in every encounter as if it were her first and that is infectious to all onboard. Oh, and it is a FUN FUN FUN trip!! I have not booked Ally once, twice or three times, it's countless times. She's THE BEST!! See you soon!

    Went on a four hour sand bar charter with my wife and 24 & 21 year old kids. Captain Ally was the best. A perfect day for boating. Saw Eagle Ray, nurse shark, black tip and Bonnet head sharks. Green turtle and a juvenile leatherback. Snorkeled a reef with many fish, with juvenile tarpon and barracuda. Walked a sandbar that saw many Queen Conch. A pod of dolphin including a little guy came up within a few feet of the boat. So close you could hear them breath. But the best find of the day was when Captain Ally spotted a Sea Biscuit, brought the boat around and retrieved it. I’ve been coming to Key West since 1981, and Florida a lot longer than that and had never seen a Sea Biscuit. This was by far the best boat trip we have had, except November 1996 when we got married on a small Catamaran. Take the time and go see Captain Ally at Island to Island charters.

    Our experience with Island to Island charters was fantastic! We had a group of 6 and this was by far our favorite experience of our trip to Key West. We had Sage as our captain and she was very knowledgeable and friendly. She took us to great spots, we will be back for sure.

    Captain Ally knows how to cater to what you are looking for and she made sure our time on her boat was 100% worth it and top notch! Every single second of it! We had the best time and feel like we made a friend for life! Love you Ally!!! We will be back!!

    We were referred to Captain Ally after our scheduled charter captain fell ill. Though she had short notice, Ally had everything ready and welcoming for our party of four. We wanted to see dolphins, and she took us right to them and allowed us plenty of time to enjoy the experience. She was knowledgeable and fun, and clearly has a deep respect for the environment and all living creatures. We highly recommend her charter service.

    We couldn’t have asked for a better 6 hour charter with Island to Island Charters! We looked at several other day boat excursions, but got the best vibes from Captain Ally and her website. It was actually her husband, Captain Tony who ended up taking us out on the water and he couldn’t have been a better guide. From start to finish, Tony was on time, friendly, professional, and an overall pleasure to go exploring with. He was very observant of wildlife and fulfilled all the requests of our charter. It was a beautiful day on the water and we would absolutely charter with them again!

    We had an amazing time! Saw so much wildlife! Got some swimming and snorkeling in. Ended the day at Snipes Key! One of my favorites places on the planet! Thanks for a great day!

    Captain Ally and Captain Tony are amazing! They have a knack for finding marine life (sand dollars, turtles, rays, sea biscuits, conchs, etc), and are a wealth of knowledge about the local area, ocean critters, birds, you name it. We have been on the water with them a couple of times, and we always have a five star experience. We highly recommend Island to Island Charters!

    We had a magical time with Captain Ally and Island to Island Charters. She took us to paradise—a sandbar where we saw sharks, stingrays, turtles and more. Her knowledge of the area is exceptional and we very much enjoyed our time with her. She’s a great host, trusted captain and wonderful person!

    Island to Island Charters took our family on an amazing snorkeling and fishing expedition. Their knowledge of the Keys and their respect for the environment cannot be matched. We would book them again and again.

    SO MUCH FUN!! I have booked the sandbar trip with Island to Island Charters on three separate occasions, the two most recent ones were within a week of each other in July 2023. Capt. Ally is so much fun and incredibly knowledgeable about the marine environment of the Keys. She enjoys her clients asking questions about marine life, the area, and seeing her clients have s great time snorkeling or just hanging out on a sandbar. She will plan the trip around what your crew wants to do most, and she will nail it! Will definitely book a trip with her whenever I am in Key West. It’s always my favorite excursion when I visit there.
