The Island Excursion is the best all around day trip you can have in the Keys. The staff was informative about Keys history in a way that didn't make you feel like class from learning. The snorkeling was good but the coral reefs are must prettier in Key Largo but there seem to be more fish on this trip. They took us out into deeper water to ...
I'm writing this review to let others know of the gold mine we found on our last vacation. My family and I went to Strike Zone Charters on Big Pine Key. We went on their Looe Key snorkeling trip. What an incredible time we had. The staff were all so nice to us. My children loved them. They were also extremely knowledgable and set us up on ...

BEST TRIP IN A LONG TIME
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/29/08
THE STAFF WAS FUNNY AND VERY HELPFUL, THE TWO DIVERS IN MY PARTY WERE A NAVY SEAL AND A SAILBOAT CAPTAIN, THEY WERE TREATED WITH MUCH RESPECT. THE OTHER SNORKLERS THAT WERE WITH ME, ONE A NOVICE AND ONE DIVE CERTIFIED HAD A GREAT TIME AND LOVED THE REEF. I HAD MY FIRST SHARK ENCOUNTER AND LOVED IT!! THANKS TO FRED AND LARRY FROM "THE GIRL FROM THE BOONIES"
I took a charter in June 2008 with my sister & nieces to snorkel at Looe Key. The 2 crew members were accomodating, helpful & organized guys. I'm sorry I can't remember their names. They created a really fun atmosphere & even though I was seasick for part of the trip (for the first time-after years of boating, sailing, etc :o ) ...
This Captain has loads of adventure to offer with his offshore fishing skills! Catching my first Sailfish, the largest Mutton Snapers I've ever seen, and other varities of great fish. He is the best captain I have ever fished with. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND YOU FISH WITH CAPTAIN MIKE LYONS!
We had a great trip to Looe Reef with the Looe Reef Dive Shop. The boat was friendly, fun, and professional and the snorkeling and diving was wonderful. Strike Zone has terrible customer service and billed our credit card without any explanation of their cancellation policy!!! They told me over the phone that they could bill my card any amount they wanted; they were truly awful. I highly recommend Looe Reef DIve shop instead.
Much nicer with a better boat trip to a great reef. Strike Zone is downright mean to their customers, caring only for the buck they will make off you. I can't believe they stay in business with such rude behavior to customers. Yuck. You have many, much better choices for snorkeling and diving in Little Torch Key.

Unbelievable rudeness and over-charging
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/20/08
Strike Zone personnel are unbelievably rude and arrogant over the phone to anyone who is not up to their level of scuba diving. We found the Looe Reef Dive shop in Little Torch Key, Florida, to offer a much friendlier, safe, and fun snorkel and dive boat out to the lovely reef. I do not recommend Strike Zone for snorkeling. They are rude and their pricing policy is unfair.

Bad Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/10/08
This charter is not diver friendly. They gave us a watch and a return time. When we returned on time (to the minute!) they accused us of resetting the watch even though we had two computers that verified we were not late. They threatened to call the Coast Guard! Dive Looe Key with ANYONE ELSE!
