What To Expect
Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
Guests will snorkel and kayak in the protected waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, exploring shallow seagrass beds, coral heads, and quiet mangrove islands. Our crew will lead you through calm, winding channels where you’ll learn about this unique backcountry ecosystem—home to rays, tropical fish, small sharks, sport fish, and the occasional sea turtle. Overhead, keep an eye out for birds like herons, egrets, ospreys, and pelicans that thrive in the mangroves. No kayaking experience? No problem. Our stable sea kayaks are easy to handle, and our crew will have you paddling like a pro in no time.
Key West
The trip begins with a sail through Key West Harbor, where you’ll get a front-row view of the island’s colorful past and present. From the water, you’ll see historic landmarks, working shrimp boats, luxury yachts, and the charming mix of old and new that defines the Key West waterfront. As we cruise along the coastline, our crew will share stories about the island’s rich history—from its days as a bustling port town to its reputation as a haven for artists, pirates, and presidents alike.

5.00I highly recommend this trip. Everything is well organized. Just show up with your bathing suit. The captain Micah and two crew members Katie and Bible were so friendly, personable, kind, knowledgeable and communicative. There were about 16 guests and we all got personal attention. The sailing out to the snorkel area was beautiful. They had snorkel gear ready and I saw stingrays, crabs, and lots of fish. Then we went to a remarkable mangrove forest in the middle of the ocean and the crew pulled out kayaks for us to paddle into the mangroves. There were birds, jellyfish, and iguanas up close a personal. The sun set right before we had snacks and drinks for the sailboat ride back. Do this tour! It’s worth it!
An awesome adventure!

4.00Micah and Katy were great hosts! Snacks were healthy. They were great guides made sure we had enough to drink. We were given a mini history of Key West. Wishing the kayaking went through the mangroves more. Not much to see with the snorkeling, some sponges, small fish and a lobster and jelly fish. Did get to hold a Casiopian jelly fish which was cool.
Great time

5.00Captain Mary & 1st Mate Connor were great. Fruits on the way out, beverages with Yuengling, Miller lite and wine was a great surprise then some humas, salsa and chips. Kayaking and sailing were my favorites for sure.

5.00What a great afternoon! Captain Tony and Brooke made us feel so welcome onboard! Brooke was so knowledgeable about the Keys, and gave a great history lesson. We did not see much while snorkeling, but the kayak tour was so much fun. We will definitely be repeat customers when we return to Key West!
Worth it!
