Laid Back Key West

Laid Back Key West — Private Boat Charters Laid Back Key West offers private boat charters specializing in trips to the Dry Tortugas National Park, captained by an experienced local since 2011. Our signature trip runs 70 miles west to historic Fort Jefferson — world-class snorkeling, crystal-clear water, and one of America's most remote national parks — all aboard your own private boat, with no crowds and no fixed schedule. Beyond the Dry Tortugas, we run private sandbar days, snorkeling and reef trips, fishing charters, sunset cruises, and fully custom outings built around your group. Whether it's a lazy afternoon at the sandbar, a bucket-list run to the Tortugas, chasing fish offshore, or a little of everything, the day is shaped around what you want to do. Every charter is fully private — your own boat and your group only, up to 6 guests. You'll be aboard Colorado Blue, a comfortable 32-foot Intrepid built for an easy day on the water, with a real bathroom, freshwater shower, shade, plenty of seating, and twin engines for a smooth, fast ride. No bare-bones rental, no sharing the deck with strangers. What sets us apart is local knowledge and a genuinely laid-back approach. Our captains read the wind, the tides, and the day's conditions to take you to the right spots at the right times — and we keep things relaxed, honest, and unhurried from start to finish. No fixed script, no overselling, just a great day on the water done your way. Based at Hurricane Hole Marina on Stock Island, just minutes from Key West with easy parking. Laid back is the only way to do Key West.
