Island Tales Charters Backcountry Snorkeling Tour

Island Tales Charters delivers a private Florida Keys backcountry snorkeling experience designed for travelers seeking a deeper, quieter look at the shallow-water ecosystems surrounding Key West. This fully private charter welcomes up to 6 guests and gives families, couples, small groups, photographers, and eco-minded visitors a personalized day on calm backcountry waters away from the crowded reef boats.

Guests can customize the trip around snorkeling, swimming, sandbar time, wildlife watching, relaxing, and light fishing when arranged with the captain. The protected backcountry waters between the Atlantic and the Gulf offer a scenic setting for exploring mangrove shorelines, shallow seagrass areas, remote sandbars, and calm natural habitats where tropical fish, juvenile gamefish, rays, birds, and other marine life may be seen.

This private charter is especially well suited for families and first-time snorkelers because the trip is guided, flexible, and built around the comfort level of the group. Guests can enjoy time in the water, lounge at a sandbar, cruise through quiet island scenery, or simply spend the day exploring the less-crowded side of Key West by boat. The vessel accommodates up to 6 guests, with larger groups of up to 12 handled by phone when available.

Island Tales Charters operates from City Marina at Garrison Bight on North Roosevelt Boulevard, giving guests convenient access to the Key West backcountry and nearby shallow-water routes. Weekday and weekend rates may vary, and availability depends on date, weather, and captain scheduling.
