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!!!

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

    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.

    Amazing!!!

    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!

    Water tour fun

    Cool Breeze on the Water

    Geri_P, May 2026
    It was great to get out on the water with Captain JoJo leading us. He gave us great instructions and made us feel comfortable with operating the mini catamaran, and he had a great sense of humor. It was fun and the cool breeze was a bonus. Highly recommend!

    This was one of the best tours we’ve gone on. Our guide , John was amazing!! Highly recommend. It was a blast.

    Mini catamaran trip.

    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.

    Craigcat boat rental is a must!

    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

    Great time and great guide!

    Margaret_M, Mar 2026
    Very fun experience! Jojo was very informative and helpful. We saw a turtle, a shipwreck and several fish.!

    Nice

    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 ....

    If it’s windy it’s gonna get canceled

    Robert_H, Mar 2026
    Canceled due to wind. Obviously they can’t control the weather but was asked to do a review and here you go.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Robert- For safety, our Mini Catamaran Eco Tours operate in open water, and when winds reach certain levels it can make the experience unsafe or uncomfortable for guests. In those cases we make the decision to cancel rather than risk putting anyone in rough and unsafe conditions. Guests in these circumstances are always offered a refund or the chance the reschedule. We hope you understand Robert. Thanks

    Thought this was supposed...

    Marian_D, Feb 2026
    Thought this was supposed to be an eco tour to a sandbar and also through mangroves. We just rode on open wavy ocean with only stopping twice for a few mins. Was ok but not what we expected

    Key West Mini- Cats!

    Ralph_B, Feb 2026
    This was a very different boating experience! The mini cats were so much fun! Be prepared to get wet! Jojo was a great guide! We loved it!

    Awesome ride. had fun. some issues with boat. But they gave a partial refund. lots of fun. Great guide, very informative.

    Not exactly as described

    Kirk_C, Feb 2026
    This was a good time, the boats are cool and it was a great way to get on the water. Just beware that the write up is misleading about certain things. It clearly states that you will go to a sandbar and “feel the sand between your toes”. We did go to a shallow sandbar and cruised around over it but never got off to swim or snorkel. When I asked the guide about it, he said it was a lot of work when they have more than 1 or 2 boats. We had three. I am sure he is right, but they need to adjust their description of the activity.

    Great experience. Some...

    Ayron_G, Feb 2026
    Great experience. Some boating experience is helpful. Guide was very patient with everyone. Lots of sun, waves but didn’t get wet. Able to wear regular clothes and water shoes. Lots of birds but no other creatures.

    Craig Cat was the best

    Kane_H, Feb 2026
    We had a great time!! Our guide was the best!! We had a group of mixed boating experiences and he did a great job from dealing with the beginner with no experience to the most seasoned.

    So much fun!

    Leslie_W, Feb 2026
    Great tour for experienced boaters or novices. Guide explained very carefully for people like me who have never driven a boat before, and the other people involved who had experience seemed to have fun as well fairly quick learning curve.

    As advertised! Had a great time! Cost was very reasonable. Would do it again. Provider did excellent job.

    Two Person Catamaran

    Mike_K, Dec 2025
    Our guide, Jo Jo, was excellent. Victor was not good. We booked through Viator and everything was fine until we were three minutes from this excursion when Viator called and said they were canceling our excursion. I told the person this was unacceptable as we were almost there already and the Uber costs us $20 each way. The guides at the location were nice and said 3 of the machines were broken down and they informed Viator the previous day. Jo Jo came and said we could still go on the lone working two person catamaran and he would lead with a jet ski if we'd like to. We agreed and completed the excursion. Viator needs to have better communication with their customers in a timely manner.

    Fun little boats!

    Kathy_S, Nov 2025
    Lots of fun. But you do need to be comfortable running a small boat by yourself in waves. Our guide was great.

    Don’t spend your money on this tour!

    Shawna_M, Nov 2025
    The boat had mechanical issues and could not keep up with the other boats. We were supposed to go to 4 different places over the 2 hrs, that did not happen. The tour did not go on the side of key west we expected. The area that was the “mangroves” had no wild life. We went out and stopped and were told we were in the deepest area of the sandbar, no actual sandbar to walk on, no getting off the boat, nothing pristine about where we were. No secluded back country islands. No wild life encounters. A total waste of money and time on vacation!

    Fun and unique way to see...

    Ellen_R, Oct 2025
    Fun and unique way to see Key West. Everything was organized well and we felt like we were valued. They took time to ensure we were prepared and had fun.
