Charters

 

Off the Beaten Path:   Excursion Details
Six years ago, a young local captain by the name of Wayne Fox founded Danger Charters. Captain Wayne had a vision to create an authentic out-island nature safari aboard traditional and indigenous sailing craft that would enable guests to experience the incredible, unspoiled beauty and adventure that he had known since boyhood, and this mission continues today.

Danger’s captains and crew are committed to providing guests with an unparalleled, natural island experience. You won’t find the "cattle boat" mentality aboard Danger or Danger Cay. You will find yourself part of a small, personalized expedition led by a crew that truly love what they do, and who can provide you with all the natural, social, and economic history of the Florida Keys you may want. Or, you may just want to kick-back, relax, and soak up nature’s glory in peace and tranquility – it’s your day, your boat, your trip, you decide what you want to do in Key West.

Sail
Both The Danger and Danger Cay are traditional American sailing craft known as "Skipjacks". These boats were originally designed and built to dredge oyster beds in the Chesapeake Bay region during the late 19th century. In the early 1900s, Skipjacks were sailed down to the Florida Keys to work as sponging and fishing vessels. Their shallow design, coupled with a huge amount of sail area, make these vessels ideal for sailing the backcountry. There is no better way to experience the incredible natural beauty of the Keys than under a cloud of sail, in shallow and protected waters that provide flat seas even on the windiest of days!

Kayak
Explore the wondrous and enigmatic mangrove islands with one of our very knowledgeable nature guides. Learn all about the mangrove eco-system, while paddling through a maze of mangrove-canopied canals and streams, that are home to an incredible tropical array of birds, rays, sharks, sport fish, and more. And, no worries if you’ve never kayaked or canoed before. Our kayaks are very stable sea kayaks that novices from ages 6 to 90 and beyond can easily paddle with a few simple instructions from your guide!
 

Snorkel
Danger’s crew continually discover a variety of private and pristine patch reefs in the calm and protected waters of the Florida Keys backcountry to provide you with an exceptional and personal underwater experience. And, due to the topography of islands and flats that surround the wildlife refuge, you can be assured of great visibility and calm seas while you snorkel amid a beautiful collection of corals, sponge gardens, tropical fish, and dramatic marine life. Never snorkeled before? No worries…first time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!

Excursions are approximately five hours long, and feature guided kayaking through wonderfully enigmatic mangrove islands, snorkeling on pristine and uncharted patch reefs and wrecks, and of course sailing! We provide all the equipment you will need including:

Snorkeling gear
Wetsuits and warm beverages in the winter months
Kayaks and paddles
Fresh fruit and healthy snacks
Soft drinks, water, and beer after snorkeling
