Bone Island Charters Key West invites guests to experience the island from its most unforgettable vantage point: the water. Hosted by Kim and Captain Carl, each private charter is tailored to the moment, whether that means snorkel...
Captain Carl and Kim are clearly the heart of this operation, drawing consistent praise for their warmth, local knowledge, and genuine care for guests. Carl has a talent for reading what groups want, whether that's snorkeling wrecks, drifting through mangroves, or timing the perfect sandbar stop before sunset. Reviewers frequently highlight his deep familiarity with the waters around Key West, and many mention he went out of his way to extend trips or find dolphins and turtles along the route. The experience feels thoughtfully put together. Snacks, charcuterie boards, water, towels, and inflatables have all been mentioned across reviews, and the boat is consistently described as clean, spacious, and comfortable. For those interested in diving specifically, CJ and Lisa round out the team with strong credentials and a reputation for professional, skilled instruction. Across a wide range of group types, from couples and girls' trips to families and friend groups, the reviews tell a remarkably consistent story of a day on the water that ends up being the trip highlight. Repeat bookings are common, which says a lot.
We had a great day on the water with Captain Carl. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun day. We went to a sandbar, through the mangroves, learned a bit about the area, and he took us to where the dolphins were and we watched them playing next to the boat. He also has inflatables and plenty of water for guests. Will book with them again in the future. Thanks!
