We had a brilliant time Jo Jo was a fantastic guide, exactly the right balance of informative, professional and great fun.
After an initial introduction to the Craig Cats we set out on our trip. Jo Jo made it a very enjoyable experience we loved the speed on the water along with the gentler moments when stopping for wildlife and information about the area.
Thank you for a really fun time, we will definitely be back.

We, my 14 year old daughter and I, had a great time. There wasn't a lot of marine life to be be seen on our trip, but there were so many other sites. It was my daughter's first time operating a water craft. The guide was great and took care to make certain all the new drivers new what they were doing. Just an overall fun experience for a father to enjoy. My daughter had a blast.

We booked 3 Mini-Catamarans while visiting Key West on the Margaritaville at Sea, Islander. We took a Lyft from the ship to the excursion, and back to the ship. It was a very fun way to see a different part of Key West, and stay cool in the heat. The tour felt safe, and the tour guide provided good information about the area.

My wife and I were booked on a tour with Capt. JoJo. He contacted us just prior to the tour to let us know that conditions were poor. Unfortunately we could not reschedule. I very much appreciated the update from him as he could just as easily said nothing and the trip would not have been enjoyable. Honesty from a business man is why people return for your business. Of we come back again I would definitely rebook with him.

We had an amazing time on the Mini Catamaran Eco Tour! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and it was such a fun way to experience the waters and mangroves around Key West.
A huge shout-out to JoJo—he was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and his enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. He shared interesting facts about the local wildlife and ecosystem while making sure everyone stayed safe and had a great time.
If you’re looking for a unique adventure in Key West, I highly recommend this tour. Be sure to ask for JoJo if you can—you won’t be disappointed!

1st, note if in a cruise ship, you'll need to Uber or find other means to get to stock island for the tour, it's worth every cent, we didn't inquire at first had a 9am booking that the Company was able to change to 11:45. Our 2hr tour turned into almost 3hrs, Captain JoJo, a wonderful instructor and guide, made everyone in our 4ppl party feel comfortable, boats are a blast. Sun was intense, do not forget the SPF. We definitely recommend.
Melissa_B, Jun 2026
We had an amazing experience on the mini catamarans. The guide was awesome and ensured we had a great time. Even learned a bit of history which was really cool. Anyone can drive these as it is super easy to learn. I highly recommend this excursion.

Captain JoJo was an amazing guide. We had fun seeing the boats and harbors of Key Weat. He was patient and attentive to our experience.
Melody_W, May 2026
So much fun! Easy to control and a laid back way to explore the waters of Key West!! We saw green sea turtles, the crystal clear waters and Captain JoJo made it even more fun. He gave history of the island and the tour! We have done the jet ski tour before and enjoyed this way more!!!
Devon_A, May 2026
If you’re into trying new things, this is definitely different. It was so much fun!!! Our guide was excellent and informed us on a lot of different topics about Key West. The catamarans aren’t difficult to drive, and we had two different areas where we were allowed to roam a bit on our own. 10/10
Wajiha_K, May 2026
This was absolutely an amazing experience. We went on "off timing" so we were the only ones on the tour. John was our guide and I can't say enough good things about him. He was friendly, professional, patient and just overall very wonderful. I highly recommend this activity to anyone who is down in Key West!
Janet_J, May 2026

This was one of the best tours we’ve gone on. Our guide , John was amazing!! Highly recommend. It was a blast.
Cathy_S, Apr 2026
This was a lot of fun. The boats were great and driving around on the water was a blast. Our tour guide was very nice and easy going. Highly recommended.
Rick_B, Apr 2026
What a blast driving these mini-boats. Easy to drive and requires no boating experience. Johnathan was a great tour guide and let you "freestyle" on your own driving around different parts of the island. The boats are very stable and very little splash if you don't want to get wet. Was hoping we could have hopped off and gone for a swim but it probably would have been tough getting back on the boat in deeper water so understand why they keep you on the boat. Definite easy and fun bucket list adventure. Great outdoor bar and food joint to enjoy afterwards right next door at the Cow Key marina
Margaret_M, Mar 2026
Very fun experience! Jojo was very informative and helpful. We saw a turtle, a shipwreck and several fish.!
Russell_S, Mar 2026
It was nice to see the area from the water, didn't see any dalphins nor turtle's,...we never received our pictures even after several attempts, someone really needs to give us a call to resolve ....
