Four stars ONLY because there is always room for improvement. The week was great, boys were challenged to manage the boat for the week under the captains guidance. They cooked, cleaned, managed anchor watches, fished, snorkelled and sailed. We went in April so they temperature was great, winds probably around 12 kts. Snorkeling was awesome, as many times I have been to the keys I missed that part, always fishing. The challenge for the adults was keeping them focused and off the phones if they weren't looking something up or taking pictures, which they took a lot...made a lot of memories. We tried to keep them focused on earning snorkeling, kayaking, fishing and stand up paddle boarding merit badges and activity badges. There was a little seasickness for some during the day but the evenings were moored in protected waters. Plenty of food on board, we actually brought some home. Sleeping arrangements were a little tight, had to have three of us sleep topside, which was not bad once we figured it out...bring blow up padding. Staff was very helpful just as you would expect from BSA. Overall, don't miss this opportunity if you have it. I may actually try a little more sailing myself in the future.
