Hire a Licensed Boat Captain in Key Largo
The gateway to the Keys. Your captain knows every reef, flat, and anchorage.
Captain Club isn't a Key Largo boat rental or charter service. It's a licensed captain for the boat you already own. Key Largo is the northern gateway to the Florida Keys, and one of the most biologically rich marine environments on earth. Captain Club connects Key Largo boat owners with USCG-licensed captains who know John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the backcountry flats, and the nearshore reef system better than anyone.
Florida Bay to the Atlantic Reef: two worlds, one captain.
Key Largo offers a dual boating environment that few places can match: the Florida Bay side for world-class flats fishing (bonefish, permit, tarpon), and the Atlantic side for reef fishing, lobstering, and diving on the only living coral reef system in the continental United States.
Captain Club captains in Key Largo are specialists. Many hold both captain's licenses and dive certifications. They know which flats are firing, which reef ledges hold fish, and where to anchor for a truly private Keys experience. Whether you're chasing backcountry grand slams or want a snorkel trip to the reef, your captain is the difference.
Find a Key Largo captain: reef experts, flats guides, and dive-certified, all USCG licensed.

No. Captain Club is not a trip booking company. We provide licensed captains who operate your vessel. You own the boat, we supply the expertise. This is a fundamentally different model from renting a boat or booking a trip through a third party.
Membership is $299 per month. Trips are billed at $100 per hour on top of the membership fee, with a 4-hour minimum per booking. A half-day trip (4 hours) is $400 and a full day (8 hours) is $800. There are no hidden fees, and pricing is fully transparent in the app before you confirm any booking.
Your next adventure awaits.
