Captain Anne Baxter, former Everglades National Park ranger, published photo-journalist, and marine ecology instructor has 25 years experience exploring the Florida Keys, a great part of that while living on a houseboat and running week-long charters. For 15 years she taught shipboard marine ecology courses at numerous educational facilities in the Florida Keys. and since 1997 has been operating Easy Adventures from the docks of World Wide Sportsman in Islamorada.
Captain Kelly's enthusiasm for all the fun activities we offer is overwhelming as is her energy level. She has lots of experience with the local Boy Scout charters and has run all types of boats for them from their 24 foot Dusky center console outboard motor boats to her very own 41 foot Morgan sailboat. She teaches sailing, fishing (trolling), coral reef ecology, and navigation.
Captain David Russell has lots of experience fishing for the BIG ONES in the nearby Gulf Stream when captaining a 65 foot party boat. He loves teaching people of all ages to fish from the beginners to the serious fisherman. He has also run 40 foot snorkel boats.

My wife Ann and I recently spent almost two months in Islamorada. We also spent a good deal of time out on the water with Anne Baxter . We hired Anne on four occasions. Three times she took us out into the "Backcountry," and once she took us out to snorkel at Alligator Light. During that trip we experienced the best snorkeling we have ever seen. The sun sparkled, the seas were flat, and the fish were all in abundance. During our back country journeys Anne showed us all the sights, mangroves, fish, and birds. We have recommended Anne to several of our friends….She is a terrific person who truly cares about her clients. World Wide Sportsman is fortunate to have an "eco" boat available for folks like us who only know about eating fish…not catching them.

What a perfect day! So relaxed and informative. It was like spending the day with an ever patient grandma who knew the answer to everything and never tired of "Anne, Anne, what is this??? The snorkeling was awesome. So much more beautiful than the "big" trip we took out from Pennekamp Park! And fishing was fun, too! My kids really warmed up to Anne and loved learning how to race hermit crabs! Thanks for a very fun last day in the Keys!
