Frequently asked questions

This stop is optional. If you want to have more time for the beach at Boca Grande or see Woman Key, Ballast Key area – we would skip this stop to give ourselves more time elsewhere.
There is a 2 mile stretch of deep water that we need to cross. Sometimes on windy days it can be bumpy there. If we think that it would be too rough we would modify the itinerary and destination.
Because we have to peak out to the Atlantic to get to these two islands – sometimes on windy days it can be too rough to go there.
Boca Grande – yes. Woman Key is a wildlife preserve area and Ballast Key is a private island. Even though we can’t go on them, we park the boat nearby in shallow water, swim and enjoy the surroundings.

Private Sandbar Hopping in Key West

A private boat, your own captain, and the best sandbars in Key West. Both of our boats run the same route, so you pick the boat that fits your party and your budget, and we take care of the rest.

The first sandbar is about 25 minutes from the marina, and it only gets better from there. We stay longer at the spots you love and cruise past the rest. Wade the shallows at Jewfish Sandbar, wind through the mangrove trails of Mud Keys, and on the 4-hour trip head further out to mingle with the locals at Snipe Point.
