  • 5Amazing custom experience, worth every penny.

    They organised a custom tour to suit our family (with a 6 and a 3 year old) mixing snorkelling and wildlife. We saw manatees up close, local birds and finished snorkelling with sting rays, lobsters & parrotfish! Cap Martin was insightful and entertaining. The boat was super comfortable, well equipped, with lots of shade for the wee one. I was concerned about having too long a tour with the little one, but we could have stayed longer.

  • 5Captain Martini was great!

    Captain Martini was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. While the weather prevented us from making it out to Alligator light house as we had planned, captain martini was able to pivot and give us a great wildlife experience. We had a very nice day.

    Henry is one of the best tour guides I’ve had in my life. His knowledge of the area is vast, and you will depart a tour with him with a deep appreciation of the area. 10/10.

  • 5Fun Snorkeling Tour in Islamorada

    We have taken a boat tour with Keyz Charters every year since 2020 and have never been disappointed! This year was a 3 hour snorkeling tour in beautiful Islamorada. Our boat captain, Henry, was awesome! He's very knowledgeable about the Keys and provided many interesting facts and stories. We had such a great time with him last year, we requested him again.

  • 54 perfect hours of fun

    Capt. Christie made our half day tour absolutely perfect. My husband and I soaked in the sun, ocean, and all of Christie’s knowledge about everything from marine life to island history. Despite the winds, she made sure our excursion was fun. The best part was she helped us customize the 4 hours on the boat to see and experience everything we wanted. I would definitely book again from KeyZ Charters.

About Islamorada

Islamorada is a village of islands in the Upper Keys of Florida, a sport-fishing centre between the Atlantic and Florida Bay.

Islamorada is spread across several islands, Plantation, Windley, Upper Matecumbe and Lower Matecumbe among them, strung along the Overseas Highway. The name is said to come from the Spanish for purple isles. Fishing is the town's identity: it calls itself the sport-fishing capital of the world, with charter boats for tarpon, bonefish and sailfish leaving from marinas on both the Atlantic and Florida Bay sides.
