Island Tales Charters - 6-Hour Key West Family Fishing Trip

Island Tales Charters offers a personalized 6-hour private Key West boat charter for up to six guests, with a flexible mix of calm-water cruising, swimming, snorkeling, sandbar time, and light fishing. Departing from City Marina at Garrison Bight, this family-friendly trip explores the protected backcountry waters between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, where conditions are often smoother than open-ocean excursions.

Guests can relax, lounge, fish, snorkel, and enjoy time at sandbars selected by the captain based on the day’s tide, wind, and weather. The boat is set up for comfort with a portable restroom, freshwater rinse, and space for cool drinks and picnic-style provisions. Families and small groups can shape the day around what they want most, whether that means a laid-back sandbar stop, wildlife watching, shallow-water swimming, or a relaxed backcountry fishing experience.

Captain Andy brings decades of boating, eco-tour, and charter experience to each trip, helping guests enjoy a more personal look at Key West’s surrounding waters without the feel of a crowded group tour.

Departure Location: City Marina at Garrison Bight, 1801 N. Roosevelt Blvd., Key West.
