Frequently Asked Questions
How many guests can we take?
The Coast Guard limits private charters to a total of six guests, not including the captain. Young children and infants do count toward this limit. Got more than six? No problem—we have a second boat that can join the fun, adding a unique twist to the whole experience.
Do your boats have shade?
Both of our boats feature shaded areas, giving you the freedom to decide how much sun you’d like to enjoy.
Is food included?
Prefer to bring your own? Most guests do — but if you’d like, we can provide mini sandwiches and sodas at no extra charge. Just mention it in your booking notes. The sandwiches are small deli meat sliders, served with your choice of Coke or Diet Coke. No substitutions, please.
What is your refund policy?
If you’re planning a trip to Key West and thinking about booking with us — just book it. We’re as laid back as the island itself. If your plans change, no problem — we offer a full refund with just 24 hours’ notice.
No stress. No pressure. No explanation needed. If you don’t want to go out, we don’t either.
