This is our version of a “Day Spa” in the Florida Keys—the sandbar is just one of the treatments.

One of our most popular trips, the Islamorada Sandbar experience is like no other in the Keys. Arrive at the Angler House Marina where we’ll have the boat rigged and ready for our adventure. The Angler House itself boasts a plethora of amenities that our guests are allowed to use like a pool, showers, tiki bar, restaurant, and more!

Have a large group? We can accommodate extra large groups with our incredible network of captains. If you have a large group, contact us and let’s put together your perfect trip.

 

Where We Go

The Islamorada sandbar is nothing less than spectacular. It is situated less than a mile offshore of the Florida Keys and is a beautiful 15-minute boat ride from our dock. Mix it up and create your own adventure to add snorkeling, fishing, sunset tours, or waterfront restaurant visits to your trip. Add a sunset tour or additional hours to maximize your day on the water with us.

The Islamorada Sandbar can get a little busy on weekends and during peak season. Weekdays are typically more reserved, but if you want something more laid back or private, we have options.

What's Included

Join your captain aboard the Chubby Mermaid, our adventure and tour boat that is perfect for hosting you and your party on the Islamorada Sandbar.

Once we are anchored up in the warm turquoise waters of the Atlantic, you can have your toes in the sand and a drink in your hand and not a care in the world. Our Bluetooth stereo sound system on the boat lets you connect your smart device so you can pick and choose your own soundtrack as you swim, float or explore the sandbar. We have a stand-up paddle board, mask and snorkels and Yeti cooler full of ice and water with room for you to BYOB. We ‘ll even be your bartender as you soak up the sun and do some saltwater therapy. This private charter allows you to pick and choose how your adventure goes in Islamorada on the world-famous sandbar.

We recommend arriving early or staying after your trip to enjoy the amenities at Angler House including the pool, Tiki Bar, and Canoe Club Bar.

Every trip we offer is an eco-tour with incredible wildlife viewing, from sharks and rays to turtles and birds.
