Stock Island Charters - Highly Recommend - Captain Donnie of Stock Island Charters was outstanding. The boat was immaculate and fit 6 comfortably. We cruised around mangrove-covered islands and Egret Sanctuary and then on to a sandbar where we swam, snorkeled, and soaked up the sun. I highly recommend Captain Donnie and a sand bar trip next time you are with a group in Key West.

Great experience! - This tour was amazing! You get to see a side of key west you don’t normally see! We had a nice boat ride followed by a sandbar adventure with great photo opps and shell finding! Captain Donny was so nice and informative, he also supplied us with snorkel gear and noodles to lounge in the water with. Highly recommend for a fun experience! Just don’t forget the sunscreen!

Perfect Sandbar Trip - Very relaxing trip. Beautiful sandbar and a great captain!!! The boat ride was nice getting to the sandbar. Captain Don informed us of all the great places on the way out to the sandbar. This is the perfect way to enjoy a different side of Key West.

BEST DAY EVER!! - We had a FANTASTIC time with Captain Don! This tour is on the newer side which explains the lack of reviews, but there’s a reason why they’re all 5 stars so don’t let that deter you from booking! Captain Don has a great personality and lots of knowledge and experience on the water. The boat is gorgeous, clean, and new and the paddle board was high quality as well. The sandbar you go to is a literal shallow oasis with that tropical blue, crystal clear water you’ve been dreaming of. And we were even lucky enough to see a bunch of baby lemon sharks!! This excursion was the loveliest highlight of our trip— relaxing, exciting, unique, and a really special memory for our family.

Fabulous Sandbar tour - This was the best sandbar trip! Don was an incredible captain and so good with our kids. He was honest that the weather might make our trip undesirable so was able to change our trip to the morning which worked out perfectly. Don's boat is incredibly clean and comfortable. At the sand bar, we could snorkel, walk around, paddle board in the mangroves and relax in the water with his nice pool noodles. This was so much better than a large tour group and perfect for our group of 6. Back at the dock Don told us about the manatees that frequent the marina and pointed one out to us. We will definitely book a boat tour with Don again when we are back in Key West. Thank you!

3 hour sandbar tour - We had a wonderful time with Stock Island Charters. Donny was prompt, and responded quickly to all communications. He has a very comfortable and well kept boat for our 6 adults. He was very familiar with the area and made our trip so easy and fun!
