Don't miss your chance to experience a luxury charter in the Florida Keys, versatile enough for any on-water activity you can envision. Whether you're interested in snorkeling, sandbar hopping, sunset cruises, dolphin watching, sightseeing, or trips to the intercostal from Key West to Miami, we do it all! Fun for the entire family! We also offer poker runs, with our 36 Contender powered by triples giving us a whopping 1,050 horsepower!

Some of the amenities our Contender offers are ample storage all over the boat, massive coolers for drinks and refreshments, fresh water wash down when exiting the water, plenty of open real estate for dancing partying, and having a great time, DRY RIDE! When most are stuck at the dock our 36 offshore hull slices through the waves in comfort for even those not-so-ideal days!

YOUR day, YOUR way: Probably the best thing about our boat service is we don't do cookie-cutter trips. Every trip is personalized to who and what is important to you. As a bareboat/demise charter, this vessel offers ultimate freedom—the itinerary is entirely up to you. With endless possibilities in the Keys, our seasoned team, in conjunction with the captain you choose, will tailor the journey to your dream day's desires.

Key West Tour 6 HR Trip on November 28, 20254 adults

Capt TJ and Capt Montero are a professional, thoughtful, fair, honest, and honorable bunch. I Zelle’d Capt Montero 100% months before our charter, and he made good on every part of it, with full communication and explanation. He saved us from a sudden upcoming bad weather day, with a quick recommendation and reschedule that saved our plans. Capt TJ took the helm, guided us, regaled us with humorous stories, and delivered on maximum snorkeling and sightseeing fun, with zero disappointments. What a pleasure! And a privilege. Well done guys! - Russ S
