Your Jewfish Basin Sandbar Itinerary
Meet at the Marina
Your trip begins at Oceans Edge Marina & Resort, where your captain will welcome you aboard and get everyone settled in for a fun day on the water.
Cruise Toward the Gulf Side
We’ll head out from Stock Island and make our way toward the Gulf side of Key West, cruising through calm waters as the scenery opens up into wide, shallow flats.
Wildlife Along the Way
Keep an eye out during the ride—this area is known for dolphin sightings, rays gliding through the shallows, and a wide variety of sea birds.
Arrive at Jewfish Basin Sandbar
Welcome to Jewfish Basin, one of the most popular and expansive sandbar areas in Key West.
Unlike a single defined sandbar, this area is made up of multiple shallow flats and channels, creating a wide open space where boats can spread out and guests can explore.
Water depth typically ranges from ankle to waist deep depending on tide, making it perfect for wading, floating, and relaxing.
Relax, Float & Explore
This is where Jewfish Basin really shines.
Float on the water, play music, enjoy drinks, or explore different sections of the basin. Some areas are more social and lively, while others offer a bit more space to spread out.
This flexibility makes it one of the most versatile sandbar experiences in Key West.
Optional Snorkeling & Exploring
While not a coral reef, Jewfish Basin offers easy, beginner-friendly snorkeling with seagrass beds that attract fish, rays, and other marine life.
It’s also a great area for casual exploring, shelling, and paddleboarding.
Cruise Back to Oceans Edge Marina
After a full day on the water, we’ll cruise back toward Oceans Edge Marina, giving you time to relax and enjoy the ride back.
