Private Charters
Get out on the water and explore Key West the way you want.
Go where you want to go
Book the whole boat to yourself and let the Brightwild team custom plan the perfect day on the water. Reunions, bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays, anniversaries, company outings, memorials and even weddings at the sandbar: you say what you are celebrating and the crew builds the day around it.

Kayaks, paddleboards, floats and water toys come along. Everyone picks their own custom sandwich lunch with chips and light snacks, and water, soda, beer and wine are provided to keep you satisfied while you soak it all up.
