About this Experience

What you'll do:

You and up to nine friends or family step aboard a private boat charter in Key West, ready to spend two to eight hours on turquoise water with a captain who knows exactly where to take you.

  • Cruise to a secluded sandbar - You anchor in shallow, clear water to swim, wade, and relax away from crowded beaches.

  • Snorkel a Key West coral reef - You jump in to explore a living reef and spot tropical fish in some of the clearest water in the Keys.

  • Ride out for a Key West sunset cruise - Your captain finds the best vantage point to watch the sky change color over the Gulf.

  • Island hop between hidden spots - Explore a mix of sandbars, reefs, and quiet coves based on that day's conditions.

  • Set your own pace - You and your captain build the route together, so every stop matches what your group actually wants to do.

Every trip looks different because your captain reads the water and your group, then builds the day around both. You're not following a set route; you're making your own.

Why we love it for your celebration:

  • Private Boat for Your Group - No strangers on board, just your group, so you set the tone for the whole charter.

  • Stocked Cooler - Ice and water come standard, so you can show up and climb aboard.

  • Bluetooth Sound System - Connect your phone and play your own playlist the whole trip.

  • Floating Lily Pad Mat - Take the party off the boat and onto the water for swimming and lounging.

  • Bring Your Own Food and Drinks - BYOB means you build the spread and the drinks list exactly how your group likes it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there free parking?

Yes, we have free parking on site! If the available spaces are full please utilize street parking. Parking at the Stock Rock Cafe is prohibited.

What time should we arrive?

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your charter. This allows us ample time to load the boat and provide a safety briefing for your charter.

How do I choose my Captain?

Under U.S. Bareboat Charter Law, our charters operate as a private vessel rental, which means you are required to select a licensed captain for your trip. Don't worry — we make it easy! Simply browse our roster of experienced, USCG-licensed captains and choose the one that's the best fit for your group. Each captain brings their own personality, local knowledge, and expertise to make your experience truly one of a kind. Once you've picked your captain, they'll take care of everything — from navigating the best spots to keeping your crew safe and having a blast on the water. Your adventure, your captain, your way!

How much does the captain cost and how do I pay them?

Captain fees are paid directly to your captain of choice and are separate from your charter booking. Captains charge a flat rate of $50 per hour, so for our 4-hour charter that's $200 total. Payment is made directly to your captain via cash or Cash App — simple, easy, and hassle-free. We recommend reaching out to your chosen captain ahead of your trip to confirm availability and get everything squared away before your big day on the water!
