Key West

Relax & Play at Jewfish Sandbar Drop anchor in the crystal-clear, shallow waters of Jewfish Sandbar, one of Key West’s most popular and picturesque hangout spots. For an hour, you’ll enjoy a laid-back slice of paradise—wade through waist-deep water, float with a drink in hand, or lounge on the sandbar surrounded by turquoise sea and open sky. Bring your music, sip your favorite beverage, or explore the soft sandy bottom barefoot. It's the perfect chance to swim, unwind, and soak up the sun like a local.

Explore the Wild Beauty of Mud Key Spend an unforgettable hour at Mud Key, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Key West’s backcountry. Surrounded by lush mangroves and winding creeks, this remote island offers a peaceful escape into untouched nature. Paddle through serene channels, snorkel over vibrant seagrass beds, or simply float and take in the quiet beauty of the mangrove ecosystem. Keep an eye out for tropical fish, rays, and maybe even a curious manatee or sea turtle gliding by. Mud Key is perfect for nature lovers, adventurers, and anyone looking to connect with the wild side of Key West—far from the crowds and close to paradise.

Dolphin Watching in the Wild Get up close with Key West’s most playful locals—wild dolphins—in their natural habitat! Spend an hour cruising the calm, clear waters of the backcountry near Dolphin Playground, a well-known gathering spot for pods of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Watch as they swim, jump, and play freely alongside the boat—sometimes riding the wake or curiously surfacing nearby. Our experienced captains know the best areas to respectfully observe these incredible animals while maintaining a safe, eco-friendly distance. This peaceful and awe-inspiring experience is perfect for families, couples, and wildlife lovers looking to connect with nature and witness dolphins in the wild—no cages, no feeding, just pure magic.
