Private Sandbar Trips & Sunset Cruises in Islamorada
There's a stretch of white sand in Florida Bay that only shows up at low tide. Knee-deep turquoise water, cold drinks, and nothing but sky in every direction. That's the Islamorada sandbar — and it's one of the best-kept secrets in the Keys.
Islamorada Luxe Charters runs private boat tours aboard The Bougie Girl — a 2023 28-foot Scout Dorado built for comfort and speed. Whether you're chasing a golden hour sunset cruise across Florida Bay or spending the day floating at the sandbar with friends, every charter is captain-guided, fully private, and customized to your crew.
No shared boats. No strangers. Just your group, a luxury center console, and the open water. This is what "things to do in Islamorada" looks like when you do it right.

About The Bougie Girl
The Bougie Girl is a 2023 28-foot Scout Dorado — one of the most well-regarded center consoles on the water. Scout builds boats for people who care about quality, and this one lives up to the name.
Deep-V hull for a smooth ride even when the bay gets choppy. Spacious bow seating that converts to a sun pad. A full T-top for shade when you need it. And yes — a private head (bathroom), which is more important than most people realize until they're four hours into a charter.
She's fast enough to get you to the sandbar quickly and comfortable enough that you won't want to leave. Whether you're booking an Islamorada luxury boat charter for a bachelorette party, anniversary sunset cruise, or family day on the water — The Bougie Girl delivers.

Islamorada Sandbar Charter FAQ
Everything you need to know before booking
What is a sandbar charter in Islamorada?
An Islamorada sandbar charter takes you by boat to shallow sandbars in Florida Bay where you can wade, swim, and float in crystal-clear, knee-deep water. It's one of the most popular things to do in Islamorada — think of it as your own private beach in the middle of the ocean. Our sandbar trips include floating pads, coolers, and a captain who knows every hidden spot.
What's included in the Islamorada sunset cruise?
Our 2-hour Islamorada sunset boat tour includes a private captain-guided cruise through Florida Bay during golden hour. You'll see the iconic Alligator Reef Lighthouse and the Keys skyline lit up at dusk. Every sunset cruise includes ice, coolers, bottled water, and a phone charging station. Add our champagne bucket setup ($50) to make it extra special.
How many guests can fit on the boat?
The Bougie Girl accommodates up to 6 guests per private charter. Every Islamorada boat tour we run is completely private — no shared boats or strangers. Whether it's 2 guests on a sunset cruise or 6 on a full-day sandbar adventure, the entire boat is yours.
Where do Islamorada sandbar charters depart from?
All charters depart from IslaMarina, located at 85920 Overseas Highway in Islamorada, FL. It's easy to find and has convenient parking. Your captain will meet you at the dock and handle everything from there.
Is this a private or shared boat charter?
Every Islamorada private boat charter with Islamorada Luxe is 100% private. You'll never be paired with strangers. The Bougie Girl is exclusively yours for the duration of your trip — whether that's a 2-hour sunset cruise or a full-day adventure.
Is there a bathroom on the boat?
Yes — The Bougie Girl has a private, enclosed head (bathroom) onboard. It's one of the major advantages of chartering a Scout Dorado over smaller boats. Especially important on half-day and full-day Florida Keys sandbar charters.
What should I bring on a sandbar trip?
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a towel, and whatever food and drinks you'd like (we provide ice and coolers). Wear a swimsuit and consider reef-safe sunscreen. We provide floating pads, water, and the boat — you bring the good vibes. Don't forget your camera for those Islamorada sandbar boat tour photos.
Can I book a charter for a special occasion?
Absolutely. Islamorada Luxe Charters specializes in birthdays, bachelorette parties, anniversaries, proposals, and celebrations. Add our charcuterie board ($100) and champagne bucket ($50) for the full luxury experience. Many guests book the sunset cruise for proposals and anniversaries — the golden hour over Florida Bay is hard to beat.
What add-ons are available?
We offer three premium add-ons: a curated Charcuterie Board Setup ($100), Champagne Bucket Setup ($50), and Bloody Mary & Mimosa Setups ($100 each, or $200 for both). Perfect for turning any Islamorada boat rental into a luxury experience. Add-ons can be selected when booking.
Which charter length should I choose?
Our most popular option is the 6-hour three-quarter day charter — it gives you enough time for multiple sandbar stops, scenic cruising, and swimming without rushing. The sunset cruise (2 hours) is ideal for couples. The half-day (4 hours) works great for families with young kids. The full-day (8 hours) is for groups who want the complete Florida Keys experience with zero time pressure.
