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.

Sandbar Tour For Large Groups

If your group is larger than 6 and you have a hard time finding a boat ride to the sandbars because of the 6 passengers limit, we are here to help. You can book our 2 identical Hurricane 27 foot deck boats and our captains will drive them side by side so you can take cool photos and they will raft up the boats on the sandbars so you can enjoy and share this amazing time together.

Key West Sunset Cruise

Ocean, meet our captain! One of the best things about the backcountry waters is how it’s never too crowded. So jump in and enjoy the peacefulness and remoteness as you stand in the "middle of the ocean" with nothing but water around you. Optionally, bring some champagne to enjoy with the sunset as a backdrop. Then, just sit back and relax as you cruise on out into the middle of nowhere, leaving behind any stress or worries.

Mud Key Mangrove Safari

It's time for some adventure and excitement with a boat trip through the backcountry. After only a short ride, we'll take you on a leisurely cruise down to Mud Key Sanctuary, where you can enjoy the countryside and take in all the wonders of nature that surround you. Stop by the sandbar for a refreshing dip or just stroll around and soak up the sun. Capture your memories and cherish them forever.
