About This Adventure

Embark on an exhilarating 3-hour private shark tour, exclusively for your group! Available from July to October, this unique experience includes a licensed captain, a naturalist guide, and spotter plane services to enhance your adventure. Book early to secure your spot and dive into the thrill of shark watching!

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: $2,150.00 7-12 Passengers: $2,550.00

Duration: 3 hours
