She said "surprise us." That's our favorite thing to hear.
The bride, her girls, and a backcountry sandbar.
π There's no better way to spend your bachelorette than on the water.
No lines. No cover charge. No waiting on a table for twelve. Just your people, open water, and a whole day that belongs to you.
She wanted a party. We knew exactly where to take her and the crew.
And this is where we're different:
Anybody can rent you a boat. We build the day.

π₯οΈ Full fleet of a variety of boats to choose from, so you get the right boat for your group size and adventure
πΆ Your music, your drinks, your rules
ποΈ Backcountry sandbars, snorkel stops, sunset finish, your call

KeyWestBoating
Your best day on the water, fully customized.
We're a team of captains with the connections to build you the perfect charter, from the boat to the captain to every stop along the way.
Here's how it works:
We find you the perfect boat for your group. You choose a captain who fits your crew. We build the itinerary around what you actually want, snorkeling, sandbars, dolphin watching, Dry Tortugas, or an uninhabited island all to yourselves.
Want more? Add on private chef or catering for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the water, eFoil lessons or a private jet ski tour. We can do it all. Just ask.
This is what a fully planned, fully customized charter looks like. No two days are the same because no two groups are the same.

Best bars in Key West? Sandbar by day, Duval by night ππ
kwcaptains.com/private-charters/sandbar-hopping
We took our favorite local bartenders out on the Midnight Express, because the people who make your nights on Duval so fun also deserve a FUN day in the sun too.
πΈ By night, they're the heartbeat of Duval, pouring drinks and keeping the island's best street alive
π€ By day, we traded the barstools for boat seats and pointed the Midnight Express toward open water
βοΈ Cruising across turquoise flats, anchoring at the sandbar, toes in the water, drinks in hand
π¬ Because that's the secret to a Key West vacation: the fun doesn't live in one place, it flows from Duval to the deck and back again
So when you're planning your trip, remember the island's best bars come in two forms. One's lined with neon on Duval. The other floats in the middle of paradise.
Ready to find your sandbar? Let's get you out on the water!

Big crew? We were built for this. πkwcaptains.com
"We don't have room for your whole crew" β said no one at Key West Captains, ever. π₯οΈ
The bigger the crew, the better the party.
β
Up to 13 guests on most of our vessels
β
Group of 14+? We split you across two boats for double the fun
β
Want to stay all together on one boat? We have a boat that fits up to 36!
Bachelorette squad. Family reunion. Corporate escape. Whatever the headcount, we've got the boat (or boats) to match.
The only thing standing between your group and open water is one message to our team to plan your amazing day on the water!
