Meet at Marriott Beachside Marina

On this Key West boat tour you will get to see not one but few breathtaking locations. The first sandbar we will take you to is just about 25 minutes boat ride from our marina. It just gets more interesting from there. We will make longer stops on locations you like the most but we’ll also cruise around to see other sights.

See the mangrove trails of Mud Keys and go mingle with locals at Snipe Point sandbar after. You will not want this day to be over.

Awesome Key West Boat Trip Our family had an awesome boat trip with Key West Boat Trips and Captain Turtle. Me, my husband, 12 year old daughter and 71 year old parents all had a blast. Captain Turtle was very informative, personable and fun. He had a great play list and sound system, comfy boat, shade and sun both, and took us to swim and snorkel around sand flats and also gave us a guided tour through the mangroves. He even spotted a giant loggerhead turtle while we were speeding back, which we got to stop and watch. Also saw a bat ray, shark and lobster 🙂 All around great experience, we highly recommend Key West Boat Trips!

Fun on a sandbar We live in Key west and have been going on trips with Pawel or Turtle for last two years. It’s always a great time for the whole family. It’s the best way to explore and enjoy backcountry Key west waters. We definitely will book again ! Thank you Pawel and Turtle.

Highlight of our trip! We took a sandbar tour with Captain Turtle, and it was the highlight of our trip! Captain Turtle was great, the boat was nice and clean, and it was a great size for our family of 4. We loved getting out on the water and seeing all of the gorgeous water. The ride was really smooth. We stopped at the Mud Keys and then Snipes Point. Snipes was our absolute favorite. Crystal clear water in a 360 view. Pictures don’t do it justice. If we return to Key West I’d do this trip every day! I highly recommend this as a way to get out on the water.

Pawel and the surroundings were amazing! Pawel was amazing! He was so genuine, respectful to the surroundings to us. There were 6 ladies and he allowed us to get off the boat during the sunset to enjoy how amazing the scenery and wildlife was. I highly recommend booking this especially with Pawel!

Awesome Captains, sandbars, and sunset Had an absolute blast on the boat with a couple friends and was able to hit a few awesome spots. Great sandbars to check out and an incredible sunset to top it off. Capt. Turtle was great. We had a lot of fun with him and he was very accommodating and flexible for the group. I would definitely recommend this group to anyone looking to explore some unique areas and catch a sunset out on the water.

Don’t miss Unreal experience! We went one day with Captain Pavel, who arranged a perfect afternoon for us which included some local spots that really made the trip. We loved it so much we rebooked for the next day. Captain Turtle took us day 2 to completely new spots and showed us the best sunset we’ve seen down here. Amazing company, people, and experience.

A must when in Key West I have been down in Key West for a month with friends and this has by far been the best thing we have done. They are super accommodating and made the experience extremely memorable. I can't recommend this enough if you are looking to get on a boat for the day and have a good time.

Best boat day in keys yet Had a great day on the boat with Pavel yesterday. He was very accommodating and helped us schedule last minute to have a Saturday afternoon out on the water. He took us to really picturesque Mud Key where we were able to swim and explore before giving the option for us to extend our trip and go to the Sandbar which was just as cool and an amazing time. The boat was super clean and fun to cruise around on a nice day in key west. We will 100% be having another boat day through these guys and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun day out on the water with a knowledgeable and cool captain.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MOST FREQUENT QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Are we guaranteed to go to all destinations mentioned in the itinerary?

Unfortunately not. All trips are weather permitting and sometimes the itinerary would need to be modified so we can avoid rough and choppy waters.

Is Snipe Point accessible in any weather conditions?

Because to get to Snipes we have to run in deeper gulf waters, this sandbar is not accessible during days of N, NW and NE winds. If we can’t get you there, we would offer to modify your itinerary so you would still have a very enjoyable boat tour.

What is the difference between 3 hours and 4 hours sandbar hopping trip?

On the 4 hours trip you get more time to relax and enjoy sandbar stops.

Are we going to have the sandbars all to ourselves?

Usually not. There’s only a handful of these gorgeous destinations so they are often visited by local boat owners. The traffic is usually higher during weekends and holidays.
