🐠 Adventure Below the Surface: The Keys’ Best Reefs & Wrecks👉kwcaptains.com/private-charters/coral-reef-shipwreck-snorkeling

Did you know the Florida Keys are home to the third-largest coral reef system in the world?

Stretching 221 miles from Key Biscayne down to the Dry Tortugas, this living reef is a treasure chest of marine life, history, and hidden stories waiting to be explored.

On our private and multi-day charters, you’ll have the chance to snorkel some of the Keys’ most iconic spots:
🤿 Sand Key – famous for its historic lighthouse and vibrant coral gardens.
🤿 Western Sambo – a protected reef sanctuary, brimming with sea turtles, rays, and schools of tropical fish.
🤿 Little Africa at Dry Tortugas – an underwater paradise named for its stunning reef patterns that resemble the African continent from above.

And if shipwrecks call to your adventurous side, we’ll take you there too:
⚓ Fleming Key Wreck – a mysterious sunken vessel just off Key West.
⚓ Boca Grande Key Wreck – a shallow wreck perfect for snorkeling and discovering history up close.
⚓ Windjammer at Dry Tortugas – a majestic 19th-century sailing ship, resting beneath turquoise waters, still telling stories of the past.

Whether you’re chasing coral and wildlife, exploring shipwrecks, or simply floating in awe of the ocean, our sport cruisers, luxury catamarans, and motor yachts are your gateway to the adventure of a lifetime.
