 Sandbar Charters in Key West 


Key West has dozens of amazing Sandbars to enjoy!

By popular demand, we love to travel through the mangrove channels in The Mud Keys. Simply enjoy a boat cruise through narrow channels and ask your captain to stop at one of the sandy areas to get out and explore. Walk, swim, or snorkel through mangrove trees and experience the unique ecosystem that exists in the Florida Keys.

Ask about hidden hammock and sandy trail! This place is magical and a must see when visiting Key West! Even in windy conditions we can come here and find calm protected water!

Mingle with the locals at Snipes Point, a popular sandbar island on the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy the pristine clear waters, snorkel the limestone ledges, and look for lobster and fish, swing on the famous swing, and even venture further into the mangroves!

Up for an extra adventure? Ask your captain about the secret creek that flows through the island.

 Key West Sandbar 

Let’s travel West to Woman Key, Boca Grande, and Cottrell sandbars!

Woman Key is a beautiful sandy area in the shallow waters in the Straits of Florida. Expect waist deep water here. Walk around and enjoy viewing live conch!


Boca Grande has a beautiful beach to enjoy, and hermit crabs are an easy find, along with many other shells. We love the little hidden path through the mangrove trees as well as the built in “lazy river.” Grab a pool noodle and relax in the water while you float along the beach!

Cottrell sandbar is less visited if you’re looking for a more private experience. There’s also great snorkeling here.

 Sandbar Tours Key West 


Traveling East offers the trifecta: Jewfish basin, The Mud Keys, and Snipes Point.

Jewfish Basin has two beautiful sides divided by a channel. It’s a huge open sandy area for your group to wade in ankle to waste deep water depending on the tide. It’s a great place to search for conch shells, sea cucumbers and lightening whelks. You’ve never seen water this clear!
