Private Trip
Private charter accommodates maximum four divers exclusivelyProfessional guide included with complimentary snacks and beveragesHalf-day two-tank or full-day three-tank options available
When you want to ditch the crowds and dive your way, the Aqua Hunter delivers exactly what serious divers are looking for. This private charter out of Lake Park Harbor Marina gives you and up to three dive buddies the freedom to explore South Florida's best underwater spots without dealing with packed dive boats or rushed surface intervals. Whether you're working on technical skills, hunting for specific marine life, or just want to take your sweet time on the reef, having your own boat and guide changes everything about the diving experience.
The Aqua Hunter runs both half-day four-hour charters with two tanks and full-day six-hour adventures with three tanks, giving you flexibility based on your crew's experience level and what you want to accomplish underwater. With only four divers max, you're getting a completely personalized experience that larger operations simply can't match. Your professional dive guide knows these waters inside and out and will tailor the dive sites to what your group wants to see - whether that's pristine reef systems, historic wrecks, or specific underwater terrain for training purposes. The boat stocks complimentary snacks and drinks to keep everyone fueled between dives, and surface intervals become part of the fun rather than just waiting time. Starting at $660 for the four-hour option, you're splitting premium dive charter costs among your small group while getting world-class access to some of Florida's most renowned underwater destinations.
Before you even splash, your guide will walk through detailed site briefings covering current conditions, entry and exit procedures, and what marine life to expect based on recent sightings. The Aqua Hunter carries all standard safety equipment and emergency protocols, but having a dedicated guide in the water with your small group means personalized attention throughout each dive. For the extended six-hour itinerary, Nitrox is highly recommended to maximize your bottom time and reduce surface intervals - the guide will help coordinate gas planning to make the most of those three tanks. You can arrange $20 rental tanks directly through Neptune's Scuba Academy's shop, along with any specialized gear your group might need for technical training or underwater photography. The boat's platform makes entries and exits smooth even when you're loaded down with extra equipment, and there's plenty of space to organize gear between dive sites without feeling cramped.
Lake Park's position along the Gulf Stream means you're diving in nutrient-rich waters that support incredible biodiversity year-round. Goliath grouper are the stars of many dives here - these massive fish can reach over 400 pounds and gather in impressive numbers around the area's artificial reefs and wrecks from July through September during their spawning season. Watching a dozen or more of these gentle giants cruising together is something that stays with divers long after they surface. The wrecks also host thriving populations of yellowtail snapper, which form dense schools that create living walls of silver and yellow. These fish are most active during morning dives when they're feeding, swirling around divers in mesmerizing formations. Nurse sharks are frequent companions on deeper dives, often resting in sandy channels or under ledges during daylight hours - they're completely harmless and will usually ignore divers, making them perfect subjects for underwater photography. Green moray eels are another customer favorite, with Lake Park's reef systems providing ideal hunting grounds for these impressive predators. Spotting a large green moray emerging from its crevice during evening dives creates those heart-pounding moments that remind you why you started diving in the first place.
This private charter option represents the top-rated way to experience South Florida diving on your own terms. No more dealing with mixed skill levels, crowded boats, or dive sites chosen for the masses rather than your specific interests. The Aqua Hunter gives you the freedom to focus on technical training, spend extra time with marine life encounters, or simply enjoy extended bottom times without feeling rushed. Whether you're celebrating a certification milestone, planning an advanced training weekend, or just want to dive the way it should be done, this private charter delivers an experience that busy group boats simply can't match. Reserve your exclusive dive charter today and discover why serious divers choose private over packed every single time.
