3 hour sandbar tour - We had a wonderful time with Stock Island Charters. Donny was prompt, and responded quickly to all communications. He has a very comfortable and well kept boat for our 6 adults. He was very familiar with the area and made our trip so easy and fun!

Captain Don was incredible - Captain Don was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and was willing to answer any question. I would recommend him as your guide. We look forward to utilizing his services again

Wonderful day on the water! - We had a wonderful day on our private tour with Captain Donnie! From the booking to the drop-off, Donnie was professional and communicative! He sent texts and pin-drops to car parking locations and where to meet him and the boat. Once aboard, Donnie took us to a beautiful sandbar location where we swam, used his inflatable SUP (stand-up paddle board), and snorkel gear. His boat and equipment was clean and well-kept. We went to a 2nd sandbar location during our 4 hour tour also. If we go back to Key West, we'd definitely take another boat tour with Donnie!

Tons of fun on the water! - We had such a fantastic trip on the water with Stock Island Charters, we booked again! Capt. Donnie is knowledgeable, safe and accommodating. He recommended some great sand bar and mangrove areas in the back country to explore for the afternoon. Highly recommend! Vessel is comfortable and great for small groups.

Amazing Adventure - We booked a private 3 hour daytime sandbar tour with Captain Donnie. It was my husband and I and our Black Lab. It was an Amazing Trip. Captain Donnie is very welcoming, accommodating, & extremely dog friendly. Water & Ice are provided. Bring your own food, drinks, & towels. We had a great time swimming in the Gulf of Mexico in crystal clear waters & walking around the sandbar. We were able to float, snorkel, & paddle board. The paddle board was perfect for our dog to float on when he wasn’t swimming or running around the sandbar. We highly recommend Stock Island Charters and wish Captain Donnie much success. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Key West.

Highlight of our vacation - My family and I had a great experience with stock island charters. The customer service before the trip was top notch. I texted them a week before our trip to iron out some details and got a response within minutes that answered all my questions. The trip itself was the highlight of our vacation. Captain Don was knowledgeable and personable, he went above and beyond to make sure our family had the best possible experience. The sandbar he took us to was breathtaking with crystal clear water, soft sand and all the water toys to keep our kids engaged for the full 4 hour tour. If you want the best possible key west boating experience book stock island charters with captain Don.
