  Like boating with your buddy!

  4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure on March 23, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  Vaughn was awesome to go out with. We loved boating through the mangroves out to the open water. Our perfect day was going to sandbars to explore, which is exactly what we did. We were also able to snorkel and use Vaughn’s paddle boards during our stops. It was myself, my husband, my 13 year old and his friend and my 9 year old. There was a perfect amount of space for all of us, with comfy boat chairs. Vaughn grew up in key west, so he’s super knowledgeable about the good spots to go and to watch the tides. Five stars for sure, cant wait til next time with the walkie talkies!

  Amazing Key West Boat Experience – Truly Unique

  4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure on March 13, 2026 • 2 adults

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was one of the coolest experiences we had in Key West. Instead of meeting at a crowded marina, we met the captain at his house, which sits right on a narrow mangrove canal. Walking through his backyard and stepping directly onto the boat felt like being invited into a true local Key West experience. It was such a unique and relaxed way to start the trip. From there we took about a 20-minute ride out through the mangroves and open water to a beautiful sandbar where other boaters were hanging out. The captain set us up with beach chairs so we could relax in the shallow water, and he was incredibly attentive—bringing us drinks whenever we needed them. Later we cruised over to another small island where he had paddleboards ready for us to use, which made exploring the area even more fun. As if that wasn’t enough, Navy fighter jets were training in the area and flew overhead a few times, which was an unexpected and very cool bonus. The whole trip felt personal, relaxed, and authentically Key West. If you’re looking for something more special than a typical crowded charter leaving from a marina, this is absolutely the way to do it. Highly recommend Captain Vaughn!

  Best trip ever!

  4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure on July 22, 2026 • 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!!!

  Perfect Day!

  4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure on May 1, 2026 • 3 adults

  Captain Vaughn delivered the most amazing day for us. We met him at his boat and had a day exploring multiple spots that were all equally gorgeous! Capt. Vaughn was great to hang out with and had lots of interesting stories about the keys. To top it off, we got to see a pod of dolphins ‘play’ with us from the boat- we all loved it!!

  Would definitely book another tour soon!

  4 Hour – Ultimate Boating Adventure on June 24, 2026 • 6 adults

  Captain Vaughn was absolutely the best and was a great conversationalist. We did a custom tour and went to Snipes, Marvin and Mud Key and it couldn’t have been a more perfect trip. The boat was great and he navigated the waters with ease. I would very much recommend taking this charter.
