Think romance, peace, relaxation, and the sound of water gently lapping the hull. Imagine your favorite music as the soundtrack for an unforgettable sunset cruise. Or maybe you seek a fun way to wind the kids down after a fun-packed FL Keys day. Islamorada sunsets from the ocean are dreamy and magical.
Our Post 46 yacht, Blue Water Girl, can accommodate up to six sunset revelers on our private sunset charter cruises…unless it will just be the two of you. What do you want to celebrate? Time away with your sweetheart, or maybe even a proposal? Planning something special? Let us help.
You are welcome to bring any beverages― soft, sparkling, or spirited. For other treats and eats, let us help. We can arrange something special, perhaps a Chacuterie presentation, cold appetizers or family snacks. Just ask Capt. Deb; she’ll hook you up.

Or maybe you want to check out the cool Islamorada and Florida Keys real estate to see spectacular waterfront island homes and waterways of the Florida Keys while picnicking aboard your private charter boat.
Eco tours are your thing? Want to meander amongst the mangroves, eyes peeled for the abundant wildlife like herons and egrets, sharks and dolphins, sea turtles and rays?
Our Blue Water Girl, a Post 46 yacht, is too big for these charters so we have partnered with some of our favorite local guides to take care of you for custom cruises. Capt. Deb, hailed as the Florida Keys favorite lady captain, can help arrange your perfect custom eco tour, bar hopping day or island homes tour.

Q & A
Is the pricing per trip?
A: Yes, the price includes the charter for up to 6 guests
Where is the boat docked?
Find us at Caloosa Cove Marina on Lower Matecumbe Key in Islamorada. 73501 Overseas Hwy, Oceanside. There is ample parking.
Can you arrange food for us?
Yes, happily. Please give us 48 hours notice for any requests.
Can we ask to fish certain spots or our favorite fish?
Our captain will call you on the day or evening before your charter to discuss details of your trip to ensure your group has the best day aboard Blue Water Girl.
What if I suffer from seasickness?
If you are prone to seasickness, please take medication the night prior the trip. We recommend Dramamine OTC. It is best to take a tablet the night before the trip with food and then follow with another in the morning prior to boarding the boat. There is a non-drowsy form of Dramamine available, as it may make you sleepy during the trip. Lots of people get sick offshore because they think they will be ok and can deal with it. Once you become seasick it is hard to recover. Please read the precautions of the medication before taking it, if you have questions, please ask your medical provider. If you suffer from seasickness, a medical provider can write you a Rx to help ease the symptoms so you can enjoy boating more comfortably.
