The company

From a sailboat named Raven to a Belzona named Still Dreamin'

Capt. Zak cruised Florida for years on his sailboat Raven, explored the Everglades and the Lower Keys, and settled in Key West to start Casual Monday. The boat is Still Dreamin', a 32-foot Belzona luxury center console, with an Intrepid 262 as the second boat. Captains Nate Martin and TJ run trips alongside him.

Everything is private, six guests on the captained trips, and the itinerary is the group's: reef snorkeling, sandbar time, wildlife in the backcountry, or the sunset. The boat also books as a bareboat for up to twelve with your own licensed operator.

“Still Dreamin'.”

The one to book

Half day at the sandbar on Still Dreamin'

Four hours on the 32-foot Belzona for up to six: out to the sandbar the captain picks for the day's wind, with a snorkel stop if you want one on the snorkel version. The full day runs the same idea over more hours and more stops.

Sunset is two hours for $600. Bring your own food and drinks.
