About This Charter
Maximum of 4 Passengers On this trip, you will depart from Black Point Marina and travel a little over nine miles to the historic Boca Chita Key. Boca Chita is located within Biscayne National Park and is the most visited island within the park’s islands. Boca Chita was once owned by Mark Honeywell and used as a private island to hold parties for his close friends. Now the 110-acre island is owned and managed by the Florida Parks and is a major attraction for visitors and locals. The island has a beautiful basin to dock your boat. Upon arrival to the island, you will enter through the channel into the basin and see a 65-foot lighthouse that was constructed by Mark in 1938.
