Key West Boat Tours


Tour Key West Like Only a Local Knows How To!

Private Boat Tours in Key West, Florida

Discover the true magic of Key West by exploring the island the way it's meant to be seen, by boat! On a Salty Soul Charter, you can escape the crowds and do it all!

On any of our Key West Boat Tours, you can expect to enjoy a personalized experience where you are never a number, while making memories that will last a lifetime.


No matter the length of your tour, you get to design the experience. We could spend the whole day fishing, or we could go sandbar hopping and explore the mangrove channels on an Eco Tour. You’re the captain of the day, we just captain the boats!

Our Full Day Boat Charters are perfect to truly experience Key West at a leisurely pace. With six hours on out on the water, we can accomplish any combination of our excursions!

Our friendly, US Coast Guard Certified Captains are passionate about navigating the turquoise waters while sharing the side of paradise that locals love most.

We operate on Island Time, so flexible boat tour start times and boat tour lengths are absolutely available! Just contact us to plan it! :)

Half Day Key West Boat Trips

Half Day Key West Adventures are our most popular tour! For this four-hour long charter, we recommend selecting no more than three of our excursions.

This tour is the perfect amount of time to search for some dolphins while we jump between Snorkeling at coral reefs, sponge gardens, and shipwrecks.

Let us help you design your dream day on the water!


Express Key West Boat Rides

If you are limited on time but you still want to cruise around Key West for three hours with a particular excursion in mind, then our Express Tour is the perfect option!

Choose one activity, such as snorkeling, fishing, or a sandbar trip. This is a great tour for guests who want to experience the local waters on a smaller budget.


Are you celebrating a special occasion? We love turning normal days into lifelong memories, just contact us to plan it! :)

Sunset Cruise Key West Boat Tours

Jump on board to view one of nature's grandest spectacles, the famous Key West sunset over our crystal clear, turquoise waters.

Your party can choose to cruise around the island viewing several points of interest, or we can explore our backcountry waters and be fully immersed in nature where you can swim and view wildlife.

Once the sun starts to set the and magnificent colors start to emerge, we will go to our prime sunset viewing location to enjoy the rest of the evening.
