The Captain & The Boat

Our 21-foot deck boat offers comfortable seating in a surround couch style, plus a hard top for shade. The boat is equipped with two ladders at the stern: one for shallow sandbar charter trips and one for snorkeling at the reef, making entering and exiting the water safe and easy. It is powered by a reliable 150-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke engine that is quiet and fume-free. This quiet engine allows us to approach wildlife on our eco-tours without disturbing the dolphins, birds, fish, and other animals in their natural habitat around Islamorada in the Florida Keys. The unique tri-hull design of the boat ensures a smooth ride and the ability to cruise in shallow waters as shallow as 2 feet, giving charter passengers the chance to get closer views of the beautiful water and wildlife surrounding Islamorada.
