Why take this tour?

The mangrove trails at Mud Keys and the sandbar at Snipe Point--things can't get any better than this! The itinerary is ultimately affected by both the booked trip length as well as the season and weather conditions. Generally, we start the trip by taking a 30-minute boat ride from our marina. First, you'll love seeing the crystal clear Jewish Basin sandbars, where it's shallow enough to enjoy the water and ankle-deep at most. Following that, we'll cruise through the beautiful mud keys before spending a majority of our free time at Snipe Point, the locals' favorite sandbar. Finally, we're going back to the marina feeling fantastic after a day well spent.

Frequently asked questions

Unfortunately not. All trips are weather permitting and sometimes the itinerary would need to be modified so we can avoid rough and choppy waters.
Because to get to Snipes we have to run in deeper gulf waters, this sandbar is not accessible during days of N, NW and NE winds. If we can’t get you there, we would offer to modify your itinerary so you would still have a very enjoyable boat tour.
On the 4 hours trip you get more time to relax and enjoy sandbar stops.
Usually not. There’s only a handful of these gorgeous destinations so they are often visited by local boat owners. The traffic is usually higher during weekends and holidays. The 3-hour trip goes to sandbars that are a little closer to Key West like Jewfish Sandbar and Mud Key. The 4-hour trip adds Snipe Point to the list.

Capt Dustin was a GREAT guide! Incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. We got a chance to see Key West from the water and hear some pretty cool stories. We brought our kids on the boat and they enjoyed all the different sandbars! Highly recommend!

Diana and Dustin are the best! Took us to their secret spot and then out to the sandbar! They blew up the “hangout” float for an awesome afternoon! Perfect girls trip excursion.

To start we had called after a bad experience with a another boat rental service. Determined to have a good time and see the sights my fiancee and I called on a whim, we spoke to Pavel who was Amazing. He sent us over to his website and after we booked he sent us some directions and followed up to confirm. Pavel was incredibly nice and had us over to our boat captain quickly. We met captain scruffy who was also equally amazing. He had a fully stocked cooler with ice and music ready to go. He took us out to 2 amazing local sandbar which we loved, the boat ride out was so smooth and quick! We spent some time out on the sandbars swimming and our captain even took amazing photos for us at no extra cost. Captain scruffy had us out on the water for an amazing time and experience my fiance will never forget. If you're looking for a boat charter and to see some amazing sights and meet some amazing people, call Pavel and ask for Captain Scruffy. You won't be disappointed !
