Private Snorkeling in Key Largo: Fish, Snorkel or Relax Your Way

You decide what the day holds: fish the reefs, snorkel the shallows, or drift and watch.

A private snorkeling and fishing charter in Key Largo where you customize the itinerary (blue water, back country or reef snorkeling) with a live English-speaking guide, all equipment, meals and drinks included. Choose from four-, six-, eight-hour or 2.5-hour options to fit your schedule. All ages and experience levels welcome.

The experience

The boat carries everything: snorkel gear, fishing rods, bait, tackle, towels, sandwiches, snacks and drinks. You walk on knowing the day is already set up. The guide knows where the fish and lobster are, handles all permits, and can fillet and store your catch if you want it. What you do with the time is yours to shape: split the day between fishing and snorkeling, spend it all in one, or simply stay on deck and watch the water change color as you move between zones.

Blue water and back country tours run year-round. The reefs hold snorkeling that works for first-timers and for people who have done it before. The shallows are where you see what lives there without needing depth. If someone in your group wants to fish while others snorkel, the guide breaks the day to make both happen. Infants sit on an adult's lap. All fitness levels are welcome.

You pick the length (2.5 hours, four, six or eight), and the charter adjusts to fit. The guide speaks English and knows the water well enough to find what you came for, whether that is a specific species, a particular reef, or just the feeling of being out there.

Is this one for you?Book the eight-hour option if you want time to fish one zone thoroughly and snorkel another without rushing. The shorter charters work better if you want to try both but don't have a full day, or if you're deciding between fishing and snorkeling and want to sample each.
