Beautiful day out on the water! - We had a great day out on the water with Captain Vaughn! He took us to “local knowledge required” spots - beautiful water and sandbars that only a few people can reach, and gave us a great Key West history lesson too! Thank you, we will be back!

A must in Key West! - Vaughn was so fun! He took lots of pictures for us and kept us hydrated with water. The paddle boards were so fun and the water mat was relaxing. It was a great day and we made a friend for life!

Amazing Private Boat Charter! - We went out on Vaughn's boat charter and had a blast! He took us to two different sand bars. He had plenty of activities on his boat (paddle boards, floating water mat.) He was a great tour guide and made this experience very relaxing! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great way to explore the backcountry in Key West! (Plus he has a houseboat for rent in key west and Old Dominion filmed their music video on it) Check him out!

Breathtaking Key West Waters - So cool to get to see parts of Key West by boat. The water and sand bars were breathtaking. Vaughn was awesome. Great conversation and learned so much about Key West. Will book again my next visit!

Great private charter - Great local flair. No party boat, just a local guy who loves what he does. It’s wind in hair and sun in your face. Great knowledge of local history and a great guy to talk to. It was a great trip to the sandbar and tour a through some of the mangrove islands. We would do it again!

Great Time - This experience was a blast. We had no idea where to go or what to do but Vaugh did! He took us around to several sandbars and even helped us to paddle board. We had some people with us that were very afraid to go into the water and by the end they didn’t want to leave. Great music and he brought water for us to drink. We got there a little early and he was ready for us. It was a great time. I highly recommend booking this.
