Florida Keys' Most Popular Water Experiences

The sun will always be shining for your Florida Keys boat rental experience. Key West is a true haven for boaters and lovers of all things water-related. Here are a few of the things you can get up to when boating at Key West.

Watch the Sun Set over the Horizon
Strong, fiery sunsets come down every evening over the Gulf of Mexico. Take your Key West boat rental to the archipelago’s western side to witness the water turn red as the sun goes down in the east.

Snorkel Through the Reefs
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is the top snorkeling area in the Florida Keys. Head over here on your boat rental and look out for sea turtles, stingrays, and the unique rocks that form this natural paradise beneath the waves.

Join a Fishing Charter
If the Florida Keys are a boating paradise, then it’s also a fishing paradise. The Florida Keys’ nearshore waters are calm and flat, making for a relaxing morning of fishing. If you have a full day on your hands then the open ocean is a great opportunity for the adventurous.

Florida Keys' Best Bodies of Water for Boating

Find Peace at Bahia Honda State Park

Bahia Honda State Park is a lovely quiet spot to steer your Florida Keys boat rental into. There are two great beaches you can dock at to chill by. One faces out onto the open sea, and the other faces the now derelict railway line that used to connect the Keys to the mainland U.S.

Drift Around Dry Tortugas National Park

This group of 7 little islands is only accessible by boat, meaning you have an excellent opportunity to explore it with your Key West boat rental. Fort Jefferson takes up one of these islands. This 19th-century fortress is an excellent piece of history for you to explore.

Base yourself in Marathon

About halfway down the Florida Keys lies Marathon. This central location is a great place to take out your Florida Keys boat rental due to it being a fishing hub. There are flats nearby and clear routes out to the open sea for you to chase after your favorite game fish.
