Private Snorkel Tours & Sunset Cruises with Snorkel the Keys

Key Largo, Florida, acts as the gateway to spectacular offshore reefs and crystal-clear waters that attract snorkelers worldwide. At the heart of this aquatic playground is Snorkel the Keys, a locally-owned operation delivering private, customizable snorkeling tours and sunset cruises tailored to varying skill levels and interests. Whether you have 2.5 or 3.5 hours, the private snorkel tours chart a course through sections of coral reefs with robust sea life including parrotfish, angelfish, and the occasional sea turtle, all visible in the calm, warm Atlantic waters.

Captain Bob, the owner-operator, is known for his keen attention to detail and personalized service, ensuring each group enjoys the right balance of excitement and safety. The tours use a clean, comfortable catamaran outfitted with well-maintained snorkel gear including masks, fins, snorkels, and wetsuits, accommodating beginners to seasoned snorkelers with ease. The private setup means no crowded barges—just the turquoise sea and a knowledgeable guide sharing insights about reef ecology and the area’s maritime history.

More than just snorkeling, Snorkel the Keys also offers private sunset cruises, transforming the ocean into a canvas of shifting colors as the day winds down, a more relaxed option for those who want to soak in the environment from the water’s surface.

The reefs near Key Largo are part of the only living coral barrier reef in the continental U.S., making the tours a rare chance to see a protected ecosystem firsthand. Captain Bob is deeply respectful of reef preservation, tailoring routes to minimize environmental impact. This business offers a more intimate way to understand and appreciate the richness of the Florida Keys marine landscape, backed by authentic local expertise and thoughtful logistics.
