What To Expect
This half day boat and paddle excursion allows you to play where the locals play! Just off shore of Key West is a quiet, unique mangrove eco system that allows for calm, secluded paddling along beautiful mangrove creeks. Your 3.5 hour adventure starts with a private boat ride (just your party up to 6 people and bring your dog!) aboard our late model pontoon boat which comfortably seats beyond the maximum of 6 people we allow aboard. Your captain will find the perfect spot for some kayaking or paddle boarding on your own in calm, protected waters. End the trip with a relaxing stop at one of many sand bars in the beautiful azure waters of the Florida Keys.
We'll provide bottled water. Anything extra you'd bring along may be stored in our onboard cooler.
This is a great adventure for families and paddlers of all levels!
Dog's welcome!!
