Zak helped us have a wonderful experience out on the water and on the sandbar. He was easy to coordinate with before the trip and selected spots on the water based on our interests. His friendly personality and easy- going spirit made us all feel like we were with a great friend (who happens to be an expert on the area and waterways) for an awesome afternoon. Trust him when he encourages you to use the bean bag chairs- best afternoon!

Captain Zak was outstanding, knowledgeable , friendly and easy going. A great value. Highly recommend. We did the 6 hour day and it was money well spent . He found us a secluded beach , dolphins, two great snorkeling areas, and a really cool sandwich. It was beautiful and he was especially with our kids included one of which has special needs (autism). Definitely recommend ! Looking at all the mega snorkeling trips , I enjoyed the seclusion of your own charter, thanks zak!

If your in the Keys you must go on a sandbar tour with Zach from "Casual Mondays". Aside from being a great captain and knowing the waterways like the back of his hand, he bought us to a beautiful sandbar to swim and hang out. He also bought us to other places to see things like stone claw crabs, and a place where the dolphins swim, even an old military waterway where the jets fly right over your head. He's super knowledgeable and laid back. He'll do whatever you ask and was so enjoyable to spend the day with. Get a bunch of friends and go!

"This trip was an amazing time! Captain Zak was professional and laid-back and truly made our day over the top. With his relaxed demeanor and extensive knowledge, we were able to do everything we wanted and more. We are definitely planning to use Casual Monday Charters again, and we highly recommend them to you as well. You won't be disappointed!"

Wanna spend 4 sublime hours on --- and in --- the blue-green salt-water enveloping Key West? Learn a thing --- or 300 --- about the crazy Conch Republic? Have a damn fine time you'll remember for years to come? Zak's your guy. On our trip, he just happened to run us near a big pod of dolphins (they tend to make your spirit soar!); introduced us to some feisty stone crabs (their claws grow back!); and got us up close --- but not too personal --- with a majestic Great White Heron (5-foot wingspan!). Many thanks again, Z-man. We'll be back!

Captain Zak is friendly, knowledgeable, and all around awesome. He made our private excursion so fun and memorable. He took us to some amazing secluded spots for snorkeling and swimming and he provided tons of useful and interesting historical tid-bits about Key West. We will definitely charter with him again next time we visit Key West.

Zak is the best! We booked a sandbar and sunset cruise. This was our second time to book with Casual Monday. He is full of information about the history of the area. He makes it a point to make sure everyone, of every age, has a great time. We visited a sandbar and the Key West swing. He shared facts about the tiny crabs we saw and how the scenery changes with the tides. He then took us to the dolphin playground where we saw several groups of dolphins playing. Last but not least, the amazing Key West sunset. Book with Zak @ Casual Monday and you will not be disappointed!

Our excursion with Captain Zak was the BEST part of our Key West trip. We got to see so much wildlife and so many areas that can only be explored by boat. Captain Zak was extremely knowledgeable and personable. There is no better way to learn about and experience Key West than an excursion with Captain Zak!

What a fabulous day! I can’t say enough positive things about Zak and his business, Casual Mondays. Zak was warm, friendly and easy to spend a day with. While very safety oriented, he made our trip a lot of fun. He had great local knowledge of not only great snorkeling spots and sand bars, but also restaurants bars, sunset spots and even where we could take our dogs on Key West. The boat was spotless and provided a smooth ride even on a blustery day! We truly enjoyed our experience with Zak and can easily recommend a booking.

I decided to skip the big snorkel Tours, and instead offer something more private and personal. This was a great choice. Our entire day with Zak was amazing. He took us to the best snorkel spots given the conditions of the day as well as a super awesome sandbar. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to get out on the water and stay safe and have a great day.
