Key Largo Private Charter - 1 Day

Enjoy the flexibility and freedom of your own Private Charter for an epic day of underwater adventure in Key Largo’s John Pennekamp Protected Marine Sanctuary, one of the most stunning local underwater experiences South Florida has to offer.  Within a one-hour drive from Miami, the Sanctuary provides clear waters with numerous world-class shipwrecks and reefs and abundant marine life.  

Allow our dive concierge to curate a perfect Keys Day just for you!  With extensive knowledge of these local dive sites, your own private Aquatics International guide/instructor/videographer will provide an unparalleled experience above and below water, complete with digital photo and edited video package.    

Overview

Ideal for diving & snorkeling, this magnificent Sanctuary hosts an abundance of vivid coral & fish species unparalleled in the continental U.S. because it was preserved & protected over 50 years ago. All dive excursions include two sites/immersions (2 tanks), up to one hour each.  Including travel time to and from the reefs encompasses approximately a 4 hour excursion on the boat.  

Key Largo Reef Diving and Snorkeling

  • Diving consists of profiles typically around 15-30ft of depth with a maximum depth of 40ft, therefore, perfect for beginner divers or those that just want to have the most bottom time & see the most coral & reef fish. 

Key Largo Wreck

  • Diving consists of profiles typically around 60-100ft of depth with a maximum depth of 130ft, therefore, perfect for advanced divers that want to explore a little deeper.  

All dive excursions include two immersions (2 tanks), up to one hour each.  Including travel time to & from the reefs encompasses approximately a 4 hour excursion on the boat.  Also perfect for snorkelers!  No touching or taking within the Marine Sanctuary; take only pictures, leave only bubbles!

What’s the difference between Key Largo & Miami Diving?

Key Largo requires a longer drive of approximately 1 to 1.5 hours each way, making it a day trip but offers more consistent conditions with crystal clear waters & the most vibrant shallow reefs in John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. In addition to better conditions on average, Key Largo has shallower areas to their reefs, making it ideal for snorkelers. Miami has many remarkable sites including beautiful natural reefs, over 30 shipwrecks, & the famous Neptune Memorial Reef & offers amazing dives without the required day trip.
