The 5 Best Things to do on the water in KEY WEST

Key West attracts adventurers and water enthusiasts with its breathtaking crystal clear waters and rich marine life. 

Guided water tours are some of the best ways to spend your vacation time in Key West. Here are five of the best, guided water tours recommended by our experts at Lagerheads Watersports!




1. THE RUM RUNNER PARTY BOAT


Departing from Downtown Key West a block from Duval Street at Lagerheads Beach Bar or Garrison Marina (Spencer's Boat Yard). The Rum Runner Party Boat is Key West. A floating bar boat. What can be more Key West then that. The Rum Runner has two boats for you vacation planning. Our six passenger vessel and our sixteen passenger vessel. BYOB, ice and coolers built into the bar top. Bar style seating, and two bench seats up front to look for square groupers. Great captains with Key West stories. Your own music or the boats Key West playlists. Watch the sunsets with a drink in your hand, or book a day trip to see shipwrecks and sandbars.


The Rum Runner Party boat has been getting visitors to Key West out on the water for over six years. Grab a Rum Runner at the bar or a bucket of beers to hope aboard the Best bar boat of the Southernmost Island. Easy to book. Book right here!

With prices under $50, these tours offer exceptional value, including drinks, food, and gear. After an exhilarating day of snorkeling, unwind with an open bar on the return trip, courtesy of many of our best tours in Key West. Book here for exclusive pricing for our Lagerheads Watersports fam.
