Each private Key Sailing experience can be designed personally.
Our private charter pricing for the whole yacht including the captain, snacks, and everything but voluntary gratituity is $200 an hour for parties of six or fewer. Do you have a special occassion or more than six guests? Call Jan at 941-346-7245 for options and ideas to meet the needs of your group.
Because we never take a deposit, we don't need a final guest count until the day of the sail, and because all charters are private charters that you design yourself, you simply pay accordingly that day.
Our most popular package is three hours, but we also offer two hours, four hours, and even half hour increments such as 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 hours, to make budgeting easier for you.

Packages
Choose the Package which best accommodates your sailing desires.
Dolphin sightings are common (but never promised) on all cruises.
TWO HOUR BAY CHARTERS are great for families in the morning, for a taste of true sailing in the afternoon, or for a spectacular sunset cruise at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico! Perfect for wildlife sightings and for the budget. We usually have a waiting list, so please book your sailing choice as early as possible!
THREE HOUR DAY OR SUNSET CHARTERS are our most popular choice to give you that extra hour in the bay or gulf, or as many guests prefer, to head under the John Ringling Causeway toward the Ringling Mansion in the North Bay. You and the captain will plan your route right from the yacht on the day of sail!
FOUR HOUR CHARTERS give you enough time for the option of true Gulf sailing. In addition, for those who choose to take the helm, a sailing certificate is provided.
