Islamorada Private Charters operates out of Islamorada, Florida, offering private boat charters and guided marine experiences across the Upper Florida Keys.
Specializing in small-group adventures, the company provides four distinct trips: Snorkeling Private Charter at Alligator Reef, Lobster Fishing Snorkel Charter, Custom Combo Boat Charter, and Islamorada Sandbar Private Charter.
Each charter includes a licensed captain and all required equipment; the lobster fishing snorkel includes fishing licenses and gear supplied for guests.

The Snorkeling Private Charter brings guests to Alligator Reef near the historic 135-foot lighthouse to view colorful reef fish, turtles, and rays. The Lobster Fishing Snorkel Charter combines reef snorkeling with a hands-on lobster hunt; guests can catch, clean, and take lobster to a local restaurant. The Custom Combo Boat Charter blends snorkeling, sandbar stops, and mangrove exploration for groups up to 12. The Islamorada Sandbar Private Charter offers 2.5- or 4-hour options for up to 12 people with drinks, floats, and water toys; multiple boats can stay together for larger groups.
