Dolphin Watching & Snorkel Charter

Dolphin watching and snorkeling charter with a semi-private experience! You can find lots of public, general admission charters in Key West - but none with a smaller, more intimate setting as this.

 

This particular charter is a public trip, but only takes a max of 6 passengers! Non-crowded, optimum comfort, and a much more enjoyable, intimate experience with a small group.

Explore the azure waters of Key West for a chance to encounter wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins! The Florida Keys are home to a super pod of dolphins that choose this beautiful paradise year round. Sightings of course are not guaranteed, but we oftentimes see these wild beauties fishing, playing, mating, and just enjoying paradise! They are highly protected so no feeding or swimming with them is allowed, but your experienced Captain will navigate safely and precisely to get you as close as possible for an unforgettable experience!

Key West is also know for some incredible snorkeling in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary! Whether Gulf-side patch reefs, backcountry sponge gardens, or the Florida Keys coral barrier reef, your Captain will choose the prime spot for your snorkeling adventure based on weather and water conditions. Explore the magical underwater world surrounding Key West. Don't worry if it's your first time snorkeling! Your Captain will explain all the snorkeling gear and how-tos to make your first time a memorable experience!

Sandbar Charter

(Public trip w/ only 6 passengers!)

Explore one of the many pristine sandbars near Key West with a semi-private experience! You can find lots of public, general admission charters in Key West - but none with a smaller, more intimate setting as this.

 

These sandbar charters are public trips, but only take a max of 6 passengers! Non-crowded, optimum comfort, and a chance to relax with a small group.

Surrounded by the crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, sandbars populate the waters of the Florida Keys with shallow sanctuaries filled with sand.

Sunset Sail

This is the only charter I book that is larger capacity, but an absolute must if you are visiting Key West! There are many sunset cruises to choose from, but I highly recommend booking specifically a sunset sail - and this charter is in a league of its own. Some companies advertise a "sunset sail" and may even have a sail on the boat...but predominately use the engines to navigate. This cruise is a top-notch Key West sunset sailing experience. So if you would like an actual sailing experience aboard a premier sailing vessel in Key West, this is a must.

Literally sail off into the sunset surrounded by crystal blue waters, beautiful teak decks, and luxurious mahogany-trimmings! This vessel is gorgeous and captivating. Sit back, enjoy some drinks, and watch the crew hoist these massive sails! No need to even get up - the crew will circle around often to replenish your drinks and offer you delicious hors d'oeurves.
