Discover the beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast with a private Sandbar Tour from Key West. This boat adventure offers unmatched wildlife sightings, clear waters, and the chance to relax on hidden sandbars—perfect for a secluded escape.
Stock Island Charters operates out of Key West, Florida, offering a focused range of on-water experiences that showcase local sandbars, mangrove backcountry, and island shorelines. The company provides a Sandbar Tour lasting three to eight hours where guests can paddle board, snorkel, and spend time on picturesque sandbars while observing wildlife such as dolphins and sea turtles. A cooler of ice and water is supplied on the Sandbar Tour, and guests are invited to bring their favorite snacks or drinks.
For evening outings, Stock Island Charters offers two private sunset options. One Private Sunset Cruise is a two-hour tour with guided narration and island views. A separate Private Sunset Cruise around Key West circumnavigates the island with commentary, wildlife spotting, and a captain-selected secluded viewing spot approximately twenty minutes before sunset. Captains coordinate stops and timing with guests, adjusting plans for tide, weather, and desired activities to ensure comfortable outings and provide local knowledge. Exact departure points, availability, and booking details are provided at the time of reservation. Stock Island Charters focuses on delivering clear, captain-led itineraries for visitors seeking sandbar exploration, snorkeling, paddle boarding, and private sunset cruises in Key West.
