Stumbled upon this boat after Pennekamp’s boat was not running. Glad I did! The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the fish and other ocean life. They all just made it a great experience.

Laura, Glad you stumbled upon our cruise, sounds like the staff impressed you with their knowledge, thank you for taking the time to write the review.
Got to see turtles, coral and lots of fish, great trip and an easy one not too long and see alot. I would recommend
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Thank you for the good review and recommendation, Glad you found the trip just right!
This is a great alternative for seeing the Molasses Reef without going on a snorkeling or diving trip. The boat offered an air conditioned interior space (where the glass viewing panels are located) or a sunny deck to enjoy the ocean view. Once on the reef the captain moved slowly to allow passengers time to view the wildlife. One of the crew members pointed out the different types of coral and the fish we saw. Note that no food or drinks were allowed on the boat, but they did have a concession with reasonable prices.

Thank you for the great review, glad you enjoyed your trip with us!
This is a great way to experience snorkeling without getting wet or being able to swim. We saw lots of sea life! Turtles, sharks, jellyfish and lots of fish. Great ride in the sea. And they make a delicious margarita!
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Patrica, thank you for taking the time to right a great review about your voyage with us! Glad there were a lot of sea creatures out and about, and that you enjoyed the Margarita!
Wonderful excursion to go on if you have a couple hours spare in Key Largo. Large comfortable boat, great and knowledgeable crew, beautiful reef with plenty to see.
The boat has a full bar of you need refreshments on the trip out and back from the reef.
We had a lovely time and saw many fish, coral and sea turtles while at the reef.
Thoroughly recommend.

Good little tour of the reef. Very informative crew members. They do have drinks upstairs so that’s a plus. Over all great activity for a couple relaxing hours.
Response from Host, Sept 2026
Elmer, thank you the good review, glad the crew could share their knowledge with you about our marine environment!

If you are looking for a great experience in the Florida Keys, I highly recommend this. The guide's knowledge was exceptional and highly interactive.

Easy to find. Beautiful views. Knowledgeable staff. Helped passengers when they started to feel motion sickness.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Jennifer, glad you could find beauty during our voyage!
There was unfortunately very little to see in the reef. The boat is uncomfortable with almost no seating up top where the drinks are.
Response from Host, Aug 2026

Wonderful trip out on the water. Crew was great, and it’s a nice, easy way to see the reef. In addition to coral, we saw a cuda, shark, and turtles plus lots of fish.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the wonderful rating and review we are so glad you enjoyed your trip with us!
Very good easy going experience. Tour guides were very knowledgeable about the reef and we're able to identify many fish species for us.
Response from Host, July 2026
John, thank you for the great rating and review! glad you found us easy!
The trip it self was nice and the ones that did the tour was very nice people. It was our first time going on a boat tour. As for me I enjoyed it until we started getting to the location there was lots of waves and very rocky and the boat stop for me thatpart was horrible I felt really bad I did take a motion pill before leaving but it didn't work for me my kids did enjoy it. Got see see alot of cools things. I didn't get to see it and they didn't even take pictures lol. Everyone was very nice checking on the people that got out and went to the top to get fresh air because they where feeling bad too. The part that my kids enjoyed it was enough for me to do it again. Thanks for the trip!
Response from Host, July 2026
Thank you for the great rating sorry you did not fully enjoy the trip.
It can get bumpy/ wavy in the way there. greT crew! Friendly crew! Nice air conditioner Salon. Drinks and soda available topside
Response from Host, July 2026
Sorry for the bumps, glad you enjoyed the crews' hospitality, the snack bar and air conditioning!
If you ate looking to find out more about the teef and not looking for underwater animals, it is good. Otherwise you will be disappointed, because all you see is coral and a few fish. The narrator did a good job explaining all about the reef though.
Response from Host, July 2026
Natalle, the trip is meant to show you nature in action the fish are not in tanks they are free swimming, unfortunately you must have been on a trip with little activity on the reef. As we cannot control what fish or other species will be out and about each and every trip is different. Sorry if the trip failed to meet your expectations.
It's a fun time, crew is very knowledgeable of the area! Great thing to do with your family! Maybe bring something for nausea if you're prone to motion sickness!
Response from Host, July 2026
Thank you for the great review and great tip as we are a boat on the open ocean and are subject to the motions of the ocean.
It’s a little over 2 hours. Great trip. Beautiful water. Knowledgeable tour guide of the coral reefs- very interesting.
Response from Host, July 2026
Nina, Thank you for the great rating and review glad we could keep you interested.
Need to know water conditions before going out. 3/4 of the people got motion sickness as the boat once it stopped over the reef continuously rocked and bobbed. Couldn’t even look down to see the reef, not clear just murky. The guide was informative, but couldn’t really absorb what she was saying.
Response from Host, July 2026
Sorry the trip failed to meet your expectations
Great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and well spoken!! Have the name for every fish we saw and each different coral.
Response from Host, July 2026
Thank you for the great review, glad you liked our red fish, blue fish explanation!!...lol
We had an awesome time on The Princess.Staff and crew are so friendly and knowledgeable.We saw turtles,flying fish,Parrot fish and Baracudas.
Response from Host, June 2026
Thank you for the awesome review, glad you enjoyed your voyage with us!
It was good but wish it was longer on the reef to see more. A lot of travel but not a lot of time seeing in the glass bottom boat part.
Response from Host, June 2026
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us, we have found in our 30+ years of doing this thirty minutes is all most people can stand looking through the bottom on a calm day it seems too short but on a rough it is too long.
Relaxing and fun boat ride with kind and knowledgeable crew. A great opportunity to see wildlife on the reef
Response from Host, June 2026
Glad you felt relaxed during your voyage with us.
We enjoyed the information provided while viewing the coral reefs and seeing ship wreckage. The changing of the water as we approached the reef was pretty cool also.
Response from Host, June 2026
Thank you for the "Pretty Cool" review we are glad you enjoyed your voyage with us!
The crew was awesome. They were knowledgeable and friendly and made a great mango smoothie. My only gripe is the shortness of the trip. Minus the time enroute and the return time, we didn't have much time at the reef.
Response from Host, June 2026
Eric, thank you for taking the time to review your trip with us. As far as the duration of the time spent over the reef on an average day 30 minutes is about how long our average passenger can enjoy looking through the bottom of the boat on a calm day it seems like a short duration on a rough day it is way too long a duration but on a average day it is just right. Its taken us a long time to try and balance passenger comfort with our trip duration and while no solution was a 100% we think we found a happy medium.
Way way way too wavy. I’m guessing they can’t predict it but the area seems like a very choppy reeef
Response from Host, June 2026
Sorry Mother Nature and King Neptune were not getting along the time of your voyage, we do try to provide the most accurate Sea condition at time of departure, but sometimes we are surprised by the conditions.
Great time, we had Dolphins playing in the waves from the boat alsosaw green turtles. The water wasa bit choppy and that was a lot of fun for me, but for anyone prone to motion sickness take your dramamine before you leave. Great staff and very helpful.
Response from Host, June 2026
Susan glad to hear you had fun, and thank you for the tip to future travelers!
We did not enjoy it. It was ok for the money spent. Crew was nice but overall it is not upto the hype
