Your day starts with a smooth cruise across some of the most beautiful blue water you'll find anywhere in South Florida. The journey to Boca Chita Key is half the fun – keep your eyes peeled for dolphins playing in the boat's wake and manatees cruising through the shallow flats. Once you reach the island, you've got endless options. The historic lighthouse makes for amazing photos, and the sandy beaches are perfect for lounging. The water stays shallow and warm around the island, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Your captain will anchor in the perfect spot based on wind and current conditions, ensuring you get the most comfortable and scenic experience possible. The cooler comes loaded with ice and water, and the Bluetooth system lets you set the perfect soundtrack for your island adventure.
This isn't your typical crowded tour boat experience – you're getting a private charter that moves at your speed. Boca Chita Key sits about seven miles offshore, giving you that real "getaway" feeling without the long journey. The island itself is a throwback to old Florida, with its 65-foot ornamental lighthouse and peaceful hiking trails. Most guests love mixing beach time with exploration, and the shallow waters around the key are perfect for cooling off between activities. Your captain knows all the best spots for anchoring, whether you want to be close to shore for easy swimming or positioned for the best views of the Miami skyline in the distance. The eight-hour timeframe gives you plenty of flexibility – spend the morning exploring, grab lunch on the beach, and finish the day with some serious relaxation time.
The waters around Boca Chita Key are alive with marine life that'll make your day even more special. Bottlenose dolphins are regulars in these waters, especially during the cooler months from November through March. They're curious and playful, often approaching boats and riding the bow wake. You'll spot them most frequently during the early morning cruise out or late afternoon return trip when they're actively feeding. West Indian manatees also call these waters home, particularly in the warmer shallows near the island. These gentle giants can reach up to 13 feet long and weigh over 1,000 pounds, but they're incredibly peaceful creatures. Spring and summer months offer the best manatee viewing as they seek out the warmer waters around the key. Keep your eyes on the water during the cruise – you might also spot sea turtles surfacing for air, rays gliding through the shallows, and schools of tropical fish in the clear waters around the island.
