We had a great time! The weather was beautiful and the guide was informative! We highly recommends the tour!
It was a blast!! the boats are so cute and I loved that they had a little canopy to protect you from the sun. They go faster than expected, but easier to control and way more fun than a jet ski! Itinerary mentioned that we would stop at a sandbar and we did not do that so if that’s something you’re looking forward to this might not be for you, but I’ll say this was the best thing I did on our trip… learned a lot of history about the islands (Jon was AMAZING) and got a lot of drive time! You will get wet so I would make sure you wear your swimsuit and bring water!
Our guide Daniel was an amazing tour guide that made sure we got to enjoy exploring the Key West area while keeping a watchful eye so that we never felt lost. It was our first time on a mini catamaran and it was so fun. We learned so much about all the places we passed through. We were impressed with how much interesting trivia Daniel knew. We would absolutely recommend this experience.
We were on a last hurrah family vacation before our oldest goes off to college and wanted to stack our days full of adventures...and this one paid off! Our teenaged sons shared one catamaran, where they both had a chance to drive, while my husband and I had another. We were with two other couples on our trip. While we couldn't really talk amongst ourselves, we did have to keep a distance, we could see each other and point out cool things we were seeing, we saw a school of dolphins jumping nothing other than that for wildlife. Didn't get to do the sandbar due to all the sargassum in the water, but I would go back once it's cleared up. It was also just nice to enjoy the peace and quite of a 'boat' ride on the water. Our guide John was funny, helpful and full of Key West knowledge. Definitely worth the money!
Had a blast!! Captain JoJo was great. Very friendly, intelligent and knowledgeable. If you’re looking for a change of pace from the wave runner tour, give the Craigcat catamaran a try, you’ll love it!!! Will definitely be back.
Great fun! John kept everyone safe and happy. Definitely recommend. Bring water.and sunscreen and enjoy!
Jojo was a great guide! Seaweed caused some problems with the boats and didn’t allow us to go to the sandbar, but overall was a fun time.
We booked 3 Mini-Catamarans while visiting Key West on the Margaritaville at Sea, Islander. We took a Lyft from the ship to the excursion, and back to the ship. It was a very fun way to see a different part of Key West, and stay cool in the heat. The tour felt safe, and the tour guide provided good information about the area.
My wife and I were booked on a tour with Capt. JoJo. He contacted us just prior to the tour to let us know that conditions were poor. Unfortunately we could not reschedule. I very much appreciated the update from him as he could just as easily said nothing and the trip would not have been enjoyable. Honesty from a business man is why people return for your business. Of we come back again I would definitely rebook with him.
We had an amazing time on the Mini Catamaran Eco Tour! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and it was such a fun way to experience the waters and mangroves around Key West. A huge shout-out to JoJo—he was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and his enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. He shared interesting facts about the local wildlife and ecosystem while making sure everyone stayed safe and had a great time. If you’re looking for a unique adventure in Key West, I highly recommend this tour. Be sure to ask for JoJo if you can—you won’t be disappointed!
