Where We Play
Key West National Wildlife Refuge
The Key West National Wildlife Refuge – known to Conchs (locals) as the Backcountry – was among the first refuges established in North America and, sadly, is the last remaining example of an untouched marine ecosystem in Florida.
Accessible only by boat, we are careful to treat the vital Backcountry with the utmost respect, and we take great pride in educating our guests about the area. Our schooners are able to navigate through the shallow water flats and sandbars, winding channels, and mangrove islands, providing you with world-class experiences without causing distress to the ecosystem.
This 14-island, 375-mile stretch of open water is home to:
- Hundreds of bird species
- Several turtle species (hawksbill, loggerhead, green)
- Florida manatee
- Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphins
- Miami blue butterfly (critically endangered)
Coming Soon - Western Sambo
Living coral reefs are Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems, and the 12 square mile Western Sambo Ecological Reserve is a shining example. It begins in the shallows and extends to a depth of 60 feet, and features stunning spur-and-groove formations, patch reefs, and bank reefs.
The snorkeling and kayaking at the Western Sambo Ecological Reserve is fantastic. If you have an underwater camera, you definitely want to bring it on this tour! The visibility is excellent and reefs are teeming with life, including:
- Numerous coral and sponge species, including Elkhorn (vulnerable)
- Anemones
- Starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins and sand dollars
- Hundreds of fish species, including surgeonfish, bar jacks, foureye butterflyfish, rosy blennies, neon gobies, grunts, wrasses, angelfish, damselfish, hogfish, striped parrotfish, butter hamlets, sharpnose puffers, and schoolmasters
