Island Tales Charters Eco Boat Tour - Florida Keys Wildlife

Island Tales Charters offers a private Key West eco boat tour through the calm backcountry waters between the Atlantic and Gulf, departing from City Marina at Garrison Bight. This shallow-water charter is designed for small groups who want a relaxed, family-friendly way to see mangrove islands, sandbars, clear flats, birds, rays, sea life, and the quiet side of the Florida Keys without the feel of a crowded tour boat.

The trip can be customized around the day’s tides, weather, and guest interests, with time to cruise, swim, lounge, snorkel, fish, explore sandbars, or simply enjoy wildlife viewing from the boat. The roomy charter is set up for up to 6 guests, with overhead shade, a built-in cooler, a porti-potty, and a fresh-water shower for comfort during a longer day on the water.

Guests leave from the City Marina area near Palm Avenue and North Roosevelt Boulevard, then travel past Charter Boat Row and into the shallow backcountry around Key West. Depending on conditions, the route may include mangrove channels, sandbar stops, dolphin sightings, feeding birds, rays, and other marine life.

This is a strong choice for families, photographers, seniors, nature lovers, and visitors looking for a more personal Florida Keys wildlife experience. For current dates, departure times, and charter availability, please use the Check Availability button.
