85501 Overseas Highway (Island Grill dock)
Islamorada, FL, United States

A favorite boat in the fleet, physically large enough to seat 12 passengers (but restricted to 6 maximum), is the 2018 Nautic Star Deck boat (based out of Islamorada). If more than 6, we have multiple boats that can help with your additional guests (up to 35). This boat, nearly 25 feet, is powered by a NEW 200 HP gasoline outboard 2024 engine, offering a maximum cruising speed of 38 knots. The vessel comes equipped with an audio system, ice box, and inside speakers.

We depart from a dock near mile marker 85 in Islamorada, near Key Largo, FL.

The USCG captains assigned to your group specialize in snorkeling charters, nature/dolphin tours around mangrove islands (sunsets are great there), Sandbar parties with floats and paddleboards, bar-hops & booze cruises, and fishing. Our routes are water in Islamorada, Florida, and can include The Famous Islamorada Sandbar in Whale Harbor. We are also near Bayside islands, restaurants, & bars. We snorkel at Hen and Chickens reef, Cheeca Rocks, Alligator Lighthouse, or Bayside shallow-water locations. Other activities and locations may incur a surcharge.

Once onboard, you'll have everything you need for a trip to remember, including a large, shady bimini top and bow sundeck. We bring a cooler, ice, and a few waters. We can stop for dockside lunch, provide at least one paddleboard, and any needed snorkeling equipment. Onboard policies are: alcohol allowed, children allowed, glass bottles allowed but not suggested onboard. Refundable pet fees allow dogs to join us. Our tours allow in-water activities (swimming, shelling, wading, and snorkeling) or dry activities like sunsets, cruising, dockside lunch, water taxi, etc. Fishing combo charters (multiple activities) include catch cleaning & filleting.

You will find all the necessary safety features onboard, the boat features an anchor, GPS, and life jackets are included.

Ready for an unforgettable day on the water? Book your adventure now & let our captains take care of you!

4 Hour – The Famous Sandbar Party

Great day at the sandbar

VERIFIED

Claire was amazing at communication and directions pre booking. Our Captain was Captain D and he was great! We went snorkeling at the reef for a short time and spent the majority of the day at the sandbar. The Kids and Family had a wonderful day on the water and the boat and experience was top notch!
