Dolphin Watching
About Key West Dolphin Watching
Come on a private boat trip with up to 5 of your friends.
It doesn’t matter how many times you see them. Every time you see a Dolphin you can’t help but respect these beautiful air breathing mammals. They glide through the water with a grace that touches you every moment you are lucky enough to be in their presence.
Sometimes they will acknowledge you and give you a rare opportunity to see their playfulness and curiosity. Other times they let you know that you are only an observer to their amazing world under the surface of the ocean.
In either case it is always a thrilling experience to see them. Luckily for us in the Keys, they are somewhat predictable in their choice of habitat and we often times get the special treat of observing them in all of their glory.
Make It So Charters has a great track record for finding them and is good at combining Dolphin visits with other fun activities.
Many guests choose to combine dolphin encounters with a private sandbar charter for a full Key West experience.
Book now and let us know what other fun activities you would like to do on your trip.
EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Posted on Justin SVerified “Make It So” MADE It So Post-Hurricane Milton! THANK YOU Captain “Howie”!!! So, we were in Key West for a 25th anniversary trip when hurricane Milton rolled through. Needless to say, A LOT of our plans got postponed and/or canceled. Thankfully, the Capt. scoped things out and found us calm waters only ONE day after the storm. We were able to explore sandbars, see stingrays and birds, find some cool shells, and the hubby even tried his hand at barracuda fishing. Capt took us to the most beautiful mangrove alcove and even attempted a trip out to the very angry gulf to find some lobsters. Visibility was less-than-ideal but we were grateful he even tried and loved the adventure! Thank you for taking a chance and giving us an amazing post-hurricane day on the water!Posted on Shanelle MVerified Perfect Day on the Water with “Make it So” Charters Our sandbar adventure with “Make it So” Charters was simply extraordinary. With two boats and seven friends, Captains Howie and Manda went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Not only did they steer us clear of rain, but they also led us to a secluded sandbar where we had the place all to ourselves.Captain Howie brought out all the stops, including a unique floating water table where we enjoyed our grilled burgers and hot dogs right in the ocean. And we absolutely adored Gabi, the “First Pup,” who charmed us all with her sweet, friendly nature.But the day’s true highlight was when a pod of dolphins appeared, swimming gracefully under our boats. It was an unforgettable spectacle that made our experience truly magical.If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, “Make it So” Charters is the way to go. We couldn’t recommend them more!Posted on Daniel GVerified The Perfect Charter Experience Absolutely brilliant day on the water. Captain Howie was so great to deal with from beginning to end… the boat was modern and comfortable… we even had an up close and personal encounter with a whole pod of dolphins. 100% recommend.Posted on Companion20440723882Verified Awesome trip! Don’t waste your time or money with anyone else. Amazing time! Mandy was great! She took us snorkeling to a ship wreck and the we chilled out at the sandbars. It was the best excursion we did so far.Posted on Mike and CourtneyVerified Great charter!!! Captain Amanda and Captain Howie were amazing! They were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. We had a great time visiting the sandbars!Posted on Boda1968Verified Worth every penny! I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to get out on the water! My husband and I let Captain Howie choose the spots. He had great information and it was absolutely gorgeous! When booking, he gives you the option to have his dog, Gabby, along for the ride. She was the cherry on top of our fabulous outing! She is easy going and it was so fun to see how much she enjoys being out on the boat and in the water!Posted on jimVerified Fun in the sun in the keys! Second time using charter. We were lucky enough to have captain Amanda again. We Weren’t disappointed. 1st time was with kids (family of 6) and this time couples (4 of us). Amanda knows the keys like the back of her hand and takes you to the best spots! Boat was spotless. Absolutely when ever we go to keys will be booking and requesting Amanda.Posted on Jeanine SVerified A Must Do experience Our 6-hour charter with Captain Amanda was spectacular and fun. It was easy to book, I simply called and spoke with Captain Howie. Amanda knows her stuff. She’s a brilliant captain, with deep knowledge of the waterways, sandbars, mangroves, and lots of fun KW facts. She took us to a few sandbars, served us our drinks, set up a table in the water, provided snorkel gear, noodles. She made sure I got the best snorkel experience I could, given the windy weather. I saw loads of fish, a wreck and came up close and personal with southern stingrays. It was our 2nd trip with Make it So and Amanda, won’t be our last.Posted on Mindy MVerified A great day at the sand bars!!! Manda was an amazing. It was the best day of our vacation. She was very informative, hospitable, easy going and fun. I would definitely recommend to anyone!!Posted on Shannon FVerified Heaven The captain was very educational. She took us to a great sandbar and we just hung out all day relaxing.
