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.

Amazing and fun activity !

5.00The best activity we had in the Keys! The crew was amazing! They were very friendly and professional. We were a group of four: 2 adults and 2 teenage boys - It was the kids’ first time snorkeling and kayaking so they were somewhat excited but apprehensive with how successful they’d be. The crew made us all feel safe and confident that they’d have a great time and we all did! The group on the boat was just big enough for everyone to enjoy! And the sunset - it was the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen! I would definitely go back and do this activity again! The crew, the boat, the activities were amazing! Super recommend it ♥️
