What Is a Sandbar Tour?
A sandbar tour is a private boat trip to shallow, sandy spots in the water where you can hop out, swim, float and relax. Key West is famous for its sandbars, which form calm, natural “beaches” in the middle of the water, perfect for sunbathing and hanging out.

A Message from Your Captain
Weather
Sit back with your favorite drink and relax. This is South Florida, and our subtropical weather can change fast. The captain makes the weather call shortly before your charter. If weather affects your trip and we can’t agree on a new date and time, you’ll receive a full refund.
Cancellations
Cancel up to 72 hours before your charter for a full refund.
No-Shows
No-shows are charged in full, with no refunds.
Early Birds
The boat isn’t going anywhere without you! You’re on vacation, so there’s no need to show up 15+ minutes early. Just arrive 5 minutes before your charter start time. Our dock doesn’t have a shaded area, so waiting on the boat is more comfortable.
