Why Book With Aldenaire?
Aldenaire runs small-boat sandbar and sunset trips out of Key West, captained by locals who grew up on these flats. We keep every departure small, include the gear, and turn around fast when the weather says so. No crowds, no surprises, no upsells at the dock.
Local Captains
Every trip is run by a licensed Key West captain who knows the tides, the sandbars and where the dolphins hang out.
Small Groups
Six guests per boat, never more. You get room on deck, a seat in the shade and a captain who learns your name.
Everything Included
Snorkel gear, floats, a cooler of water and soft drinks, and the sunscreen you forgot — all on board, no extra charge.
Weather Guarantee
If the captain calls it off for weather, you pick a new date or get a full refund. No questions.
Aldenaire's Coast, the Way Locals See It
Aldenaire Boat Tours has been running small-group cruises out of Aldenaire Harbor since 2011. We started with one wooden sloop and a captain who couldn't stop talking about the coastline; today we run three boats, and every skipper still lives within sight of the water.
We keep groups to twelve so you can move around the deck, ask questions, and actually see the seals. Whether it's a sunset sail, a lighthouse run, or a half-day trip out to the islands, we'll show you the coast the way locals see it.
