Join me for a private 4, 6, or 8-hour sandbar charter exploring the clear, shallow waters around Key West. Each sandbar is just a short ride from our port, and longer trips allow time for multiple stops or a more relaxed pace. With over 11 years of sailing these waters, I’ll guide you to some of the most beautiful and peaceful spots away from the crowds.

About Your Trip

Join me for a private 4, 6, or 8-hour sandbar charter exploring the clear, shallow waters around Key West. Each sandbar is just a short ride from our port, and longer trips allow time for multiple stops or a more relaxed pace. With over 11 years of sailing these waters, I’ll guide you to some of the most beautiful and peaceful spots away from the crowds.

On board, you’ll have access to storage, a cooler with ice and water. You’re welcome to bring along your own drinks and snacks—alcoholic or non—and I recommend bringing towels and reef-safe sunscreen. While this isn’t a scripted tour, there’s always the chance to spot dolphins, turtles, stingrays, or even manatees along the way if you’re keeping an eye on the water.

Every trip is fully customizable—you choose the length, the sandbars, and how you’d like to spend your day, whether that’s swimming, floating, lounging in the shallows, or simply enjoying the ride. What sets this experience apart is its personal touch and flexibility—no big groups, no strict itinerary, just time on the water shaped around you and your crew.

The highlights are simple but unforgettable: turquoise waters, secluded sandbars, and the chance to see Key West’s marine life in its natural setting. It’s the perfect way to relax, recharge, and experience the laid-back beauty of the Keys.

Hey there, I’m Capt ZD! With over 11 years of experience sailing the waters around Key West, I’ve built a deep knowledge of the area’s hidden gems, wildlife, and best-kept secrets. My goal is to share the beauty of the Keys in a way that’s personal, laid-back, and unforgettable. Whether we’re hopping between islands, anchoring at a sandbar, or spotting dolphins along the ride, I enjoy creating experiences that feel more like spending a day on the water with a friend than taking a tour. My goal at the end of the day is to make some lasting memories and build a relationship with my guests so that if they’re ever back in the keys again, they’ll want to come back out and make some more unforgettable memories.

I’m passionate about helping guests truly connect with the unique environment of the Keys while keeping things simple, flexible, and fun. I went to school to be a teacher so I love seeing people learn or ask questions peaked from general curiosity. You have questions, I have answers! So from the clear turquoise waters, to the incredible marine life, or maybe swapping stories of keys type activities, every charter is an opportunity to make lasting memories.

Can’t wait to meet you!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
