Choose your private snorkeling trip

Snorkel gear, flotation and your licensed captain are included. Guests must be able to swim to enter the water at snorkeling locations. Non-swimmers can enjoy the trip aboard.

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.

Is this the right charter?

This trip is a strong fit if…

  • You want a private pace instead of a packed snorkel boat.
  • Your group includes beginners, kids or mixed comfort levels.
  • You want the captain to choose the reef around real conditions, not a fixed promise.
  • You may want to combine snorkeling with sandbar time on a longer trip.

How the day works

Before departure

Your captain reviews the day's wind, sea state, visibility and your group's priorities.

On the water

We choose the best practical snorkel option—such as Cheeca Rocks, Hen and Chickens or another suitable site—without guaranteeing a specific offshore destination.

At the site

Snorkel at your pace. Beginners can use flotation, and anyone who does not want to swim can remain aboard.

What's aboard

  • Private boat and captain
  • Snorkel masks, snorkels and fins
  • Flotation for beginners
  • Coolers with ice
  • Floating mat and paddleboard when practical
  • Weather-based location selection

Island Adventures is a private charter operation. Specific locations are always subject to safe operating conditions, water conditions, guest comfort, daylight and the captain's judgment.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

Do you guarantee Alligator Reef Lighthouse?

No. Alligator Reef and any specific offshore site depend on wind, sea state, visibility and guest comfort. We choose the safest, best practical option for the day.

Can beginners snorkel?

Yes. Flotation is available, the pace is private, and non-swimmers can stay aboard. The captain can favor protected water when practical.

Can we add the sandbar?

Longer snorkeling trips can include sandbar time when the itinerary, daylight and conditions allow.

What happens if it is windy?

Snorkeling is weather dependent. We may use a more protected location or adjust the plan rather than force an exposed reef.
