Great 4 hour boating trip

4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure4 adults

Captain Vaughn was great. Started off in the mangroves of Key West, and then out to some smaller islands. He told us the history of Key West and all kinds of interesting facts/stories about the islands that make up Key West. Pick up spot was easy. He was quick to respond to any text messages that I sent him before the trip. Our party was 4 adults. We enjoyed the locations that he took us to. He had snorkel gear and paddle boards for us. He also supplied a cooler with ice and drinks, with plenty of room to add our snacks and drinks. Highly recommend Captain Vaughn. We will use him again for your next trip to Key West.

    best trip ever!!!

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 5 adults • 1 child

    Captain Vaughn was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we stepped aboard, he made us feel welcome, safe, and relaxed. His knowledge of the area was impressive, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time on the water. If you’re looking for a captain who is experienced, personable, and genuinely cares about providing a first-class experience, I highly recommend Captain Vaughn. We had an amazing time and would gladly book another trip with him in the future!

    Charter with a true local captain

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 2 adults

    We had a great 4hr charter with Conch Republic charters. Vaughn is a Key West native with so much local history in his family tree. Starting point was in a very unassuming local local canal in a residential area with parking onsite. Our plan was to sight see and snorkel but increasing winds decided otherwise - Vaughn was flexible and adjusted course. He shared some great stories and info as we cruised the area, stopping at some great spots to enjoy the water and hammocks. We would definitely book with him again. Thanks Vaughn for a great day.

    Outstanding Boating!

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 2 adults

    Vaughn was an outstanding guide; both personable and incredibly knowledgeable about Key West’s history. He took us to a variety of secluded islands and beautiful mangroves within the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, making the experience feel unique and off the beaten path. He also went above and beyond by providing a cooler, paddleboards, and snorkeling gear, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect day on the water. Highly recommend!

    Best trip ever!

    4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure • 5 adults • 1 child

    We are a family from Germany and so glad to find Captain Vaughn. The trip was amazing! We started at his house on a private canal. The trip out to sea was already very beautiful. We had 3 stops, each of them was amazing. We were able to use the captain's paddleboard, snorkel and soccer ball. Vaughn was very nice and told us quite a bit about Key West. Highly recommended!!!
