Three that cover most groups: the cheapest private tiki boat for six, the party boat that fits twelve with a slide and a bar, and the offshore fishing charter for a crew that would rather catch dinner than float.

Most bachelor party boat questions are one question: how many guys. Under seven, any private boat works and the tiki boat is the cheapest. Seven to twelve is where the shared trips stop making sense and the Salty Bottom tiki boat takes over. Past twelve you are into the big catamarans, and past sixteen there are exactly three boats in Key West that will take you.
| Group | Boat | Whole boat | Per head | Start here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2–6 | Private tiki boat or center console | $525–$799 | $88–$133 | Private tiki boat, $525 → |
| 7–12 | Salty Bottom tiki boat, Andiamo | $1,049–$1,650 | $87–$138 | Salty Bottom, $1,049 → |
| 13–16 | Good Times 47' catamaran, Honest Eco 42' cat | $1,500–$2,198 | $94–$147 | Good Times, $1,500 for 16 → |
| 17–36 | Danger Charters (22–30), Salty Bottom party boat (36) | $1,299–$3,269 | $63–$109 | Salty Bottom party boat → |
Whole-boat prices look expensive until you divide. The $525 tiki boat is $88 a head for six guys and four hours — less than the shared sandbar catamaran at $114.95, with no strangers and your own cooler. The $1,049 Salty Bottom across twelve is $87 a head. The pattern holds all the way up: a $2,250 boat for 22 groomsmen and guests is about $100 each. If you are splitting it on Venmo anyway, book the private boat.
If this is the wedding weekend rather than the bachelor trip — both sides, parents, the whole party — the six-person boats are out and you want the big-capacity charters below. Every one of these is a real whole-boat price checked today against the operator's calendar. Book the boat before the rehearsal dinner is set; the Saturday sunset slots go first. Tuxes not sorted yet? Our family runs Bib 'N Tux in Tampa — suits and tuxedo rentals for the whole party before you head down.

Check AvailabilityOn nearly every private charter here, yes — BYOB is the norm in Key West. Bring cans, not glass, and a cooler with ice. The shared sunset and sandbar boats sell drinks aboard instead.
Most private charters take six; that is a Coast Guard limit for uninspected vessels, not the captain being difficult. For seven to twelve you want the tiki boats or the catamarans; the Salty Bottom party boat and the Good Times catamaran take 16 to 36.
A $525 tiki boat split six ways is under $90 a head for four hours on the water — cheaper than most shared trips. The $1,049 party boat across twelve is about the same. Whole-boat prices look big until you divide them.
The catamarans and the sportfishers have a head. The small tiki boats and center consoles mostly do not. If it matters for your group, pick from the boats marked catamaran or Hatteras.
If half the group fishes and half wants to drink, book the private fishing charter — you can still swim at a sandbar on the way in. If nobody fishes, the tiki boats are more fun per dollar. Do not put non-fishermen on a six-hour offshore trip.
Weekends in March, April and October sell out two to four weeks ahead for the tiki boats. Book the boat before the house. Weather cancellations are refunded by the operator.
