About Your Trip

Get ready for a hands-on Florida Keys experience like no other as you head out with Captain Brad—or occasionally Captain Janis, a fellow USCG-licensed guide—on a 4-hour lobster diving adventure in the crystal-clear waters around Key West.

This trip is all about fun, exploration, and the thrill of the hunt as you snorkel shallow reef areas and rocky ledges in search of spiny lobster, one of the region’s most prized catches. Whether it’s your first time lobstering or you're a seasoned bug-hunter, the crew will guide you every step of the way—from spotting lobster in their hiding spots to safely catching them by hand.

Each snorkeler can catch up to six lobsters per day, and you’ll be taken to proven spots where you’ll have the best shot at success. Expect clear, shallow water, plenty of marine life, and lots of excitement as you dive into the underwater world of the Florida Keys.

All gear is provided, and no prior experience is necessary—just bring your sense of adventure, a swimsuit, and a good attitude. Whether you're visiting during mini-season or anytime during regular lobster season, this is one of the most unique and unforgettable ways to experience the waters of Key West.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
