Well seasoned crew, informative and ready to answer questions, and the view was simply astonishing! Thank you all very much, will visit you next time we come back to Key West!
We really enjoyed the tour, tour guide in very knowledgeable. Other than viewing the marine life, you can spend time on the deck and enjoy the views.
Saw the reef bottom. Very few actual fish. The noise from so many kids and loud parents drowned out the announcements. Overall we were very disappointed.
Hello, John. We regret that you had anything less than a great time with us. As we are dealing with marine life, we are unable to control exactly what guests may see. Many factors are at play, wind, rain, current all can affect the sea life. As for the families, all Fury tours are family friendly. The Glass Bottom Boat does offer a nice open air deck if guests would like to take a break from the crowd gathered around the window to the sea. We do offer some lower capacity tours that may be more suitable. Please reach out to us and we will be sure to match you with the perfect trip!
Had a great time on the sunset tour. The boat was nice with cold a/c. The reef was full of different fish and was really cool to see. Everyone on the ship was helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend doing!
Both of us loved the experience, seeing what’s never usually seen. Also a bonding moment neither of us will forget
Thank you for the review, Michael! Sounds like you all made a core memory, magical! We are so glad you saw the wildlife and coral. Please join us again!
Friendly staff and overall great experience
Not only enjoyable, very informative. The trip to the reef was great by itself. The reef tour, via the glass bottom, was wonderful. It was fun seeing coral and fish in their natural habitats. Hannah was great at giving information on the fish and coral we were seeing. On the way back to the dock, we were treated to a beautiful sunset! Warning, this is a natural reef. There is no guarantee what you'll see. Don't expect to see sea life that don't frequent shallow reefs.
Our glass bottom boat sunset cruise was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we boarded, the crew was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, making everyone feel right at home. The views were breathtaking—the crystal-clear water allowed us to see vibrant marine life beneath the boat while the sun slowly dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with stunning shades of orange, pink, and purple. It was the perfect combination of sightseeing, relaxation, and natural beauty. The captain shared interesting facts about the local area and marine ecosystem, making the experience both entertaining and educational. The atmosphere was peaceful, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the entire trip was exceptionally well organized. If you’re looking for a memorable experience, whether you’re visiting for the first time or you’re a local, I highly recommend this sunset cruise. It was the highlight of our trip, and I would gladly do it again!
Beautiful day and saw a lot of beautiful fish. Guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Absolutely wonderful!
If you are not able to snorkel or dive but want to see the reef this the the trip for you. Remember to bring a camera so you can take pictures.
