We took this trip a second time to revisit the pristine heavenly clear waters of the keys and this trip doesn’t disappoint! Captain Matthew and his crew go above and beyond to ensure your trip is enjoyable while looking after your safety. We had captain Matthew the first time we took this excursion and continue to be impressed! I highly recommend this trip to see the real beauty the keys has to offer!

Very cold and windy in March. Not suitable for Fury to take you out to sea on an excursion. Too cold to get in the water. Only 2 out of our group of 7 made the attempt. Big mistake. Seating on boat very uncomfortable and open to all the elements.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello, Lorraine. During your tour the temps were in the high 70s with a light breeze. Typically visitors find these conditions comfortable, we regret you did not enjoy the tour. From late fall through spring, we offer wetsuit rentals for those who would like an extra layer. Please visit us again during the hot summer months!

Matthew and Brooke were amazing on this trip! Their knowledge and care exceeded our expectation! They are all about taking care of their customers. It was an amazing trip! So relaxing!!!

It was pouring and lightning the morning of and we emailed to check to see if it was canceled and they told us no! 10 mins later we arrived soaked to the bone for them to laugh and say it was canceled due to the storm.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hello, Casey. We are very sorry that the weather did not cooperate on the date of your tour. The weather changes so quickly here in the Florida Keys that we try to not cancel until we are sure it will not be possible to run the tour safely. Safety is our top priority, if the weather does not pass quickly and is deemed unsafe, we do have to cancel. We hope you were able to rebook your trip with us and if not, we hope to have the opportunity to get you out on the water in the future!

The experience itself was pretty good BUT the time changed and VIATOR did not update time. We wasted money to take an uber there and they would not refund us any money wasted on that and having to find something to do for 3 more hours. Boat trip was great, staff was wonderful. Kayak through mangroves was beau but could have been a bit longer. “Buffet” was veggie tray, mixed fruit tray, rolled sandwich wraps. Had wine, beer, champagne, soda, no seltzers. Drink options were good.

Excellent trip for the afternoon and to catch the sunset. The crew was extremely informative. If you are fortunate to get captain Jude, captain Todd and Ivy, your day will be even better. They will take care of your every need with a smile and kind word. From check in to departing after the tour, it was first class and fun.
Robert_Z, Dec 2024
We enjoyed the trip, getting experience both the shallows and the small island shorelines. Our crew was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. And we got to see both rain and the sunset, surprising for different reasons.
Heather_C, Nov 2024
Jude and Tomas did a fantastic job. They both provided a lot of information and good advice for the trip. We snorkeled first. There was quite a current as it was very windy, so we actually needed flippers. It is a soft corral location and we went in November so most of the coral is faded, but we still saw a lot of small fish. Then we kayaked around Woman Key where we learned a lot about Conch. Unfortunately didn't see any turtles, but the mangroves were beautiful. Then we finished our trip drinking wine and beer on the sand bar. The Mimosas were on point, and they provided sandwich wraps, chips, and fruit (as well as soda). We attended the sunset trip, which was quite a sight. Highly recommend this trip.

The entire adventure from beginning to end. Captain Jude and co-captain Liv were very attentive, knowledgeable and fun.
Shannon_V, Aug 2024
Highlight of our trip to the keys! Tomas and Matthew went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group was safe, happy and comfortable. Snorkeling, kayaking and the sandbar all in one trip. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Response from Host, Sep 2024

Snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, drinks! It was alllllll amazing! Aiden and Chase were absolutely wonderful and so friendly. Overall awesome time on the boat and water. We will definitely come back.
Andrea_A, Mar 2024
The Captain was fantastic! She was so hospitable and friendly. Tomas was also fun and very informative of the area and history.
Both made the trip fun and inviting for myself and family.
Kristy_R, Mar 2024
Great experience, but snorkeling area had minimal to see. Would have been nice to go to an area for with more fish.
Nick, Dec 2023
Cold and zero visibility. Also there is no blue water in key west. Take note the water is green and not clear
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Nick. We regret that you did not enjoy your time out with us. Most guests enjoy the temperatures in the 70’s that we are graced with in December, and we do have wetsuits available to rent for those that wish to do so. The waters around Key West are a beautiful turquoise color and although we hope that every day is perfect, occasionally wind, waves, clouds or rain will affect underwater visibility. We hope to have the opportunity to take you out in the summer months when the temperatures are warmer!
Sharleen_S, Aug 2023
What an epic adventure! I highly recommend this tour. Captain Matthew and Garrison made this experience so very special for our family. Thanks for an amazing time!

The best excursion we went on. Excellent staff! We got the boat ride, got to kayak, paddle board, snorkel and lunch with cocktails. A little bit of everything! This is the excursion you should go on! We had a great time.

Our captain and his crew was very informative with the wildlife in this area. Their trip was excellent
Samantha_W, May 2023
Snorkeling was ok… captain can’t control the weather but the crew made us feel safe. After the rain passed it was AMAZING! Lunch was great! Crew was great! And the sandbar was FANTASTIC!
Rheanne_B, May 2023
Outstanding snorkel and kayak adventure! Our Captain, Stevie, showed us an amazing time on this trip. He noticed the weather in the normal spot looked like it was getting rainy so he asked the group if we minded changing the location so we would have a better trip, and he did not disappoint. We were able to get very close to multiple dolphins, went snorkeling in clear waters where we saw plenty of fish, manta rays, and barracuda, and then hit a large sand bar for kayaking and paddle boarding. The first mate Michael was knowledgeable too and served great drinks after the activities were complete. Then we saw a gorgeous Key West sunset as we made our way back to the harbor. A perfect afternoon and highly recommend booking this activity!
Response from Host, May 2023
Thanks for the great review, Rheanne! It sounds like you had an amazing time out there, and we appreciate the shoutout to our staff. We hope to see you again soon!
Michelle_B, May 2023
It was an amazing experience! Our tour guides were fantastic. They took care of everything and made it so easy to just enjoy the trip and activities.
PHILIP_C, May 2023
It was good to get out on the water in Key West. Jude was a great captain, including his sense of humor. Be sure to bring your own towel, hat, and sun screen - otherwise you will subject to the pre-cruise shake down, which cost me a goodly sum.
Everybody on the boat was friendly and everybody had a good time. I recommend this activity.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Philip. We're happy to hear your had a great time out there and especially appreciate the shoutout to Capt. Jude. We hope to see you again soon! Safe Travels!

Rap music is not liked by older people. Also, not taken to advertised locations. Younger crowd, friends of boat caption, more interested in celebrating his birthday.
Bonnie_L, Apr 2023
Matthew and Michael went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. Coming across the dolphins was phenomenal!
