Forever Young Charter Company
Dive into an unforgettable marine adventure with Forever Young Charter Company in Key West. From lionfish hunting to lobster diving, discover why these guided trips set the bar for fishing and diving in the Florida Keys.
Forever Young Charter Company is a Key West, Florida–based charter operator offering a range of marine adventures across the Florida Keys, with regular departures to Islamorada and the Dry Tortugas. The company runs spearfishing, fishing, snorkeling, scuba, lionfish hunting, lobster diving, and sandbar charters that accommodate novices, families, and experienced anglers or divers.
Trip offerings include Islamorada Spearfishing Charter; Islamorada Snorkeling Adventure; Islamorada Fishing Charter; The Sandbar Charter; Islamorada Lobster Diving Charter; Islamorada Lionfish Hunting Charter; Dry Tortugas Spearfishing Charter (10-hour trip, private boat, up to four divers); Key West Snorkeling Adventure; Key West Scuba Diving Charter; and Dry Tortugas Scuba & Snorkel Charter (8–10 hours with Fort Jefferson tour). Many charters provide private boats, expert guidance, and all necessary gear. Several trips emphasize safety-focused crews, small group sizes, and complimentary refreshments on select Dry Tortugas voyages.
The operator positions safety, local knowledge, and hands-on instruction as key components of each outing. Snorkeling and day trips are described as affordable and accessible, while specialty trips such as spearfishing, lobster diving, and lionfish hunting include targeted guidance and equipment. Reservations are recommended for private charters and Dry Tortugas trips because of limited space; the Dry Tortugas spearfishing excursion explicitly limits participation to up to four divers. Forever Young Charter Company serves anglers, divers, families, and conservation-minded guests seeking guided, fully equipped marine experiences in Key West, Islamorada, and the Dry Tortugas.
