Delphine Charters
PRIVATE,
Your party only.
BEST value in Key West
Let Captain Chuck, USCG certified captain; take you on an unforgettable boating experience.
Do a combination …
Go snorkeling, then drop anchor and do some bottom fishing..
Board the Delphine and have Captain Chuck run up the twin diesels for a 45 minute journey mles out into the Atlantic Ocean to the Western Sambo. This live reef is one of Key West best; here you will see huge coral heads. You can see Elkhorn coral the last remaining stands of living coral in the Lower Keys, which was once in abundant here
See tons of tropical fish, don’t be surprise to see a Nurse Shark on the bottom, big black and scary, however they are harmless. Dolphins are a common sight and possible even a sea turtle or a Sting Ray will be seen on this incredible ocean adventure.

This snorkeling trip puts you I think in a magical place; it is the Florida Keys Largest protected zone. When I am here I feel as if I am one with the sea life, they don’t seem to mind the snorkelers getting close enough to touch. It is intense; words cannot explain the extreme joy and elation this place brings. Your small party will not scare off the ocean life in this unique spot I bring you to. |

Once you enter the warm water you are instantly over taken by hundreds of fish, my giant aquarium called the Western Sambo. We move along a reef that’s a thousands feet long and we cut through a underwater fox hole with coral on both sides, sea fans are moving in the ocean breeze, you are surrounded by brilliant colors. Swimming along we come to a giant donut hole carved in the reef. At this spot if you are a good swimmer you can deflate your safety vest and swim under the reef at a depth of 13 eet.
At this southern most spot you are 160 miles off the coast of Miami and 7 mile s off the Island of Key West. You are surrounded by countless sea creatures, everywhere your eyes wander you will be amazed and surprised by the variety of life you will see. Three quarters of the world is covered by water so take the dip into another world to see what’s there, you won’t regret it.
So...travel 45 minutes to snorkel Key West’s largest protected reef,
the Western Sambo, and fish near it.
Definitely the highlight of your vacation.
People all over the world are telling tales of their adventures
aboard the Delphine…
This reef is about 3 to 10 feet deep so take the plunge into the warm ocean water
with top quality snorkel gear compliments of the Delphine.
Do some Reef Fishing in Tropical Key West, Florida USA ..
When you are done fishing at the second reef, why not jump in and snorkel a while with the fish
you almost caught or the one you caught and released, that is if you dare.
So relax and let Captain Chuck take you on an incredible ocean experience, in Key West Florida.
Our emphasis is fun, so be sure to bring some food and drinks to suit your needs.
Don’t forget your swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen !
