About This Adventure

Embark on a thrilling 3-hour private motorboat tour tailored exclusively for your group. Enjoy the expertise of a licensed captain while cruising through beautiful waters. With options for different group sizes, this unique experience ensures an intimate adventure, perfect for creating unforgettable memories with friends or family.

Important:##

We run multiple boats for this trip type. While the calendar may show a certain day as "Available", you must click through the departure times to confirm that your group size (1-6 passenger or 7-12 passenger) can be accommodated.

If you have 10 people in your party, for example, but do not see 7-12 Passengers as an option for that day/time, that means our larger boat is already booked. We may have other boats available, but none that can hold 10 people. In this case, you would have to look at another day/time or we could potentially organize two 1-6 passenger boats.

Each boat is rated for a certain capacity by the Coast Guard. We cannot legally exceed that capacity - please don't ask!


Private Charter Rates:

1-6 Passengers: $1,100.00 7-12 Passengers: $1,575.00

Duration: 3 hours
