Fun in the Sun Charters & Boat Rentals is a Key West, Florida-based charter and boat rental company offering private charters, sandbar tours, boat bar crawls, and a range of rental boats. Their fleet includes 26-foot and 30-foot deck and pontoon boats, 23-foot tritoon and 17-foot bay boats, and private six-passenger charters. With over 15 years of experience guiding guests to Key West sandbars, backcountry waterways, and popular waterfront spots, the company focuses on safe, family-friendly outings and customizable itineraries.
Licensed local captains lead private charters and custom trips, tailoring each excursion to client preferences such as extended time at favorite spots or curated bar crawl routes. Rentals include modern amenities like GPS, Bluetooth sound systems, coolers, slides on select pontoons, live-wells for fishing, and reliable Yamaha engines. Capacity limits are clearly stated: many private charters and split charters cap at six passengers while select rentals accommodate up to thirteen or nine passengers depending on the vessel.
Safety procedures, up-to-date equipment, and local navigation knowledge support comfortable experiences for families, groups of friends, and visiting boaters. Online booking and direct inquiries allow guests to reserve sandbar tours, custom charters, or specific boat models for day trips around Key West. Clear descriptions of each trip and vessel help guests match expectations to activities, whether snorkeling, relaxing on shallow sandbars, or enjoying a private boat bar crawl.
Popular bar crawl routes visit Geiger Key Marina and The Docks Restaurant, and crew members prioritize communication, punctual departures, and adherence to local maritime regulations.
