Snorkel Key Largo and Christ of the Abyss Onboard a Private Yacht

Have you ever wanted to escape from everyday life? Sink into another world thru underwater snorkel? Explore something extraordinary? Luckily for you, as humans, we know less about our very own oceans than outer space. So, for a completely out of this world experience, all you need is a snorkel set and the coastal waters of Florida.

For the best reef options and adventure flexibility, book yourself a charter yacht from Miami with Instyle Yachts. Their friendly crew will help you create the itinerary of your dreams.

Is underwater snorkel safe?

If you know how to swim, snorkeling is perfectly safe and easy. However, if you are unsure in the water, your crew will be able to provide you with a life vest to boost your confidence. The best rule of thumb is to also avoid touching anything underwater. Coral, rocks, and other sea structures can give you sharp cuts! So, for your safety, and the oceans, please keep your hands to yourself!

These slow growing, limestone-based construction attract sea life in all forms. Enjoy peeking beneath the waves and feel welcome among the fish, crustaceans, waving corals and splendid colors. Since color disappears the deeper you go below the water, the best viewing is a few feet below the surface. See how many different color fish you can spot or simply gaze at the mesmerizing coral. Soft coral, hard coral, sea fans and more all grow within coral reefs. There are some truly healthy reefs available a short ride from Miami.
