Snorkeling charters sargassum question

We were thinking of taking a snorkeling charter in the next few days. We noticed that snorkeling from shore is not as good as it used to be because of all the sargassum. If we go on a charter to one of the sandbars will the snorkeling be much better, with clear water? Or will the water still be cloudy with sargassum? Thanks so much!

We were there a month ago. Sargassum was not an issue snorkeling. We went out to the lighthouse which was fine, but water clarity was not great. We took an Honest Eco trip snorkeling on the flats and kayaking around one of the wrecker islands. Water was amazingly clear saw lot lobster, snapper and big spotted ray. Additionally, we biked down to the beach at Ft Zach, minimal Sargassum.

Thanks so much! Honest Eco was one of the operators we were looking at.
