Stewy's Boat Charters is a Key Largo-based charter operator offering guided marine experiences in the Florida Keys. The company runs a range of small-group and private trips focused on snorkeling, wildlife viewing, and relaxed cruising around John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and nearby waters. Trips include reef snorkeling excursions such as "Snorkel the Reef" and "Snorkel TWO Reefs," a signature visit to the iconic "Christ of the Abyss" snorkeling site, a private sunset cruise, a popular sandbar outing, and guided eco tours through mangrove channels.
Each experience provides guest-focused support: guided snorkeling with provided gear on reef trips, complimentary refreshments on select cruises, and flotation devices and towels for sandbar outings. On reef trips, guests explore portions of Florida's third-largest natural barrier reef and view diverse corals and tropical fish in John Pennekamp State Park. The sandbar trip offers a shallow-water relaxing stop with a large floating Lilypad and basic beach comforts. Eco tours navigate mangrove sanctuaries to observe local wildlife such as dolphins and manatees while passing through scenic neighborhoods like Key Largo's "Little Venice."
Stewy's Boat Charters operates from Key Largo and emphasizes safety, local knowledge, and guided experiences. Information on availability and booking appears through The Adventure Collective and direct charter listings. The company’s offerings are designed to suit novices and experienced visitors seeking authentic Florida Keys marine experiences.
