If you have a small group (up to 6 people) check out the very reasonable full and half day private charter rates. Froggie’s 28’ glass-bottomed Trojan operates out of the centrally located Garrison Bight Marina three times per day as a “by the seat” abbreviated combo excursion. She is equipped with a brand new, ultra quiet, 225 hp Honda outboard enabling you to reach more remote, unspoiled eco-destinations that the vast Florida Keys has to offer . There is plenty of shade, an onboard restroom and fresh water shower station... very family friendly. The guests make the call as to what to do and where to go: The tour can encompass the “dolphin playground”, the coral reef, historical shipwrecks and more. All include educational narratives covering many of the 500 or so species of fish, coral structures and marine habitat. The glass-bottom in the hull is an unusual plus and allows passengers to catch a preview of what they will see once in the water if they choose to get wet!

Key West Dolphin Excursion II ~ 6 passenger Semi- & Private Charters to Dolphin Playground!
Duration 4 hours
There is no more satisfying a feeling than to have made a close personal connection with a wild animal. With the bottlenose dolphin, in the wild, in their natural environment... it’s unbeatable. Daily Discovery’s 24’ Century (boat) is a very comfortable way to accomplish this. On this trip passengers learn to appreciate these beautiful, highly intelligent creatures more than ever. We never harass or feed them. They are naturally curious and truly seem to enjoy human contact. Although our rate of sightings is extremely high (98%) we will never guarantee dolphins. Being approached by these playful creatures is an honor and a thrill... an often life-changing experience which automatically generates a genuine respect. These encounters remind us that we are part of the natural order of nature, and that we are just one more creature in the big scheme of things. Join us for an unforgettable experience. We depart daily from Oceanside Marina on Stock Island.
