About Our Boat Charters & Rentals

What are your hours, and how do I book?

Reservations are required for everything we offer — boat charters, boat rentals, bareboat charters, and golf carts. We’re by appointment only.

It depends on what you book. Most captained charter boats depart from Stock Island Yacht Club (6000 Peninsular Ave, Key West, FL 33040).

For single-day rentals and charters, cancel at least one week in advance by phone or email to avoid a full charge. Multi-day rentals require two weeks’ notice. If you cancel and we’re able to rebook the trip, your card is refunded in full.

We won’t send boats out in unsafe conditions. If we determine the weather isn’t suitable, your trip may be postponed, rescheduled, or canceled with a full refund.

Some experiences, like golf carts and select boat charters, have online booking. Boat rentals and bareboat charters must be booked by phone so we can confirm boating experience and a float plan. Booking direct by phone or text also avoids third-party booking fees.
