Choose your private sandbar trip
Your licensed captain, cooler with ice and available floats and water toys are included. Bring your own food and drinks. Equipment, crowds and water conditions vary.
How does pricing and the deposit work?
The starting price covers the private boat and captain for your group of up to 6 guests. Longer trips cost more. WaveRez shows the tax, booking fee, optional extras and final amount before payment. A $279 deposit reserves your trip; the remaining balance is due after the charter.
How do I reserve a date?
Open live availability and choose your date, departure time and trip length. Select 1 private charter for your whole group, choose the number of passengers and review the cancellation terms and optional extras. Add the trip to your cart, then choose Checkout now to enter your contact details and pay the deposit. Checking a calendar does not reserve the boat. Use the live calendar to book ahead for your preferred date.
What if the weather changes or I need to cancel?
Your captain makes the weather decision for the charter. If Island Adventures cancels for dangerous weather, you receive a full refund. To request cancellation more than 48 hours before your charter, call or text 305-394-1436. The terms shown at checkout apply.
Want reef snorkeling too? Compare our private snorkeling tours for a longer reef-and-sandbar day. See private snorkeling tours.
