Captain Rio Charters

Spend a full day experiencing Key West your way on a private charter with Captain Rio. Fish the reefs, wrecks or offshore waters, go spearfishing, snorkel clear tropical water, hunt lobster in season, explore secluded islands or unwind at a backcountry sandbar.
With eight hours on the water, your group has time to travel farther, visit multiple locations and combine several activities without feeling rushed. Captain Rio plans the day around your interests, experience level and the conditions, giving your group a true Florida Keys adventure rather than a fixed tour.

Your group receives private use of Captain Rio’s spacious 32-foot Stamas for up to six guests. The boat offers bow and stern seating, a shaded cabin, an onboard bathroom, a cooler and plenty of room to relax between stops.
Fishing rods, reels, tackle and bait are provided. Snorkel and dive equipment is available; let Captain Rio know in advance what your group needs. Bring food, drinks, towels, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses and non-marking shoes.
Trips depart from Hurricane Hole Marina. Fuel and gratuity are not included, and an offshore fuel surcharge may apply.
This reflects the site’s full-day positioning around deeper-water access, multiple stops and customizable activities.

Full-Day Key West Fishing & Adventure

Build the perfect four-hour Key West charter around the activities your group enjoys most. Fish productive reefs and wrecks, try spearfishing with a knowledgeable local guide, snorkel among tropical marine life or relax in warm, shallow water at a secluded sandbar.
Every charter is completely private, so there are no strangers, crowded decks or one-size-fits-all itineraries. Captain Rio chooses the best locations for the day’s conditions and can help your group focus on one experience or combine nearby activities into a memorable half-day on the water.
