This was amazing! Our... - This was amazing! Our captain Don had us off to the sandbar ahead of schedule and with all of the necessary equipment to have a magical time. We spent time paddle boarding, snorkeling, swinging from a tree just above the water and gathering shells in the crystal clear water. Would recommend this excursion for anyone!

10/10! - Don and his boat were both wonderful! We had so much fun. The boat is very clean, and he helps you have a very laid back and very fun time! He plays great music, and has a big cooler filled with ice for all your cans of beer or whatever you bring with you! He is very polite and very knowledgeable about the area! The sandbar we visited the water was crystal clear and we saw several fish we had never seen before as well as many shells. My 21 year old son and his friend went with us, and they have both said a few times since “that was a really fun boat trip we took”. Thats what makes me extra happy! :) 10/10

Amazing private boat cruise! - We had a wonderful private trip for our group out to explore a sandbar and then catch the sunset before heading in. Captain Don is experienced and knowledgeable of the area, and made sure he did all he could to ensure a great time! Skip the crowded cruises with strangers and enjoy a private cruise for your group. You will not be disappointed!

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!
