Sea Monkey Charters operates private boat charters out of Key West, Florida, offering customizable trips aboard three boats: the SeaMonkey Deux (27’), the Rema (26’), and the SeaMonkey (23’). Guests can choose half‑day, three‑quarter‑day, or full‑day private charters on the Deux and the Rema, and 4‑, 6‑, or 8‑hour private trips on the 23’ SeaMonkey. Trips include visits to sandbars, cruising around iconic Key West landmarks, and routes that span from the Gulf side to the Atlantic side of the islands.
Private charters accommodate couples, families, and small groups seeking a tailored Key West boating experience. Each trip is privately booked, allowing guests to select pacing, destinations, and activities appropriate for their party. Sea Monkey Charters emphasizes flexibility with options for shorter half‑day outings and extended full‑day excursions.
The fleet’s size range—23 to 27 feet—supports a variety of trip styles from relaxed sandbar stops to scenic coastal cruising. Boats named SeaMonkey Deux, Rema, and SeaMonkey serve as the primary vessels for these private experiences. Reservations typically specify desired trip length and preferred itinerary, such as sandbar visits or Gulf‑to‑Atlantic crossings.
For travelers planning a private Key West boat trip, Sea Monkey Charters presents clear options for boat sizes and trip durations. The business is featured on The Adventure Collective, where trip listings and booking details appear alongside photos and summaries of the private charter offerings.
