No trip to the Florida Keys would be complete without a Key West private sandbar tour. Set course for the backcountry on your own private sandbar trip, Key West-style. The Captain will take you to their favorite spots. As you’ll head away from town, you’ll leave the crowds and tourist shops behind and see the Keys from the locals’ perspective. It’s about a 45-minute ride out to the sandbars. During the ride, you’ll enjoy a comfortable trip through the backcountry via Lakes Passage and Boca Grande Key. From the water, you’ll enjoy seeing parts of the Key West and Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuges and other beautiful parts of the Florida Keys’ backcountry that you’d never get to see from US 1. We’ll spend about two and a half hours enjoying the sandbars. Wade in the shallow, clear water while watching for stingrays and fish. Lounge on the beach, snorkel a bit, float with your favorite drink, or just enjoy some sand and sun. Let the Captain know if you have a special request. Of course, we can’t make promises, but we often spot dolphins and manatees.
