This adventure with FURY was so much fun. The Captain was very knowledgeable about the bay and provided lots of interesting tidbits about the area. We took off to snorkel first and partway out, he slowed the boat so we could watch a pod of dolphins play in the water. We had 45 minutes to snorkel over the coral reef, which is always interesting. We returned to a sand bar in the middle of the bay with water about 3' - 4' deep, just perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and enjoying adult libations. As I was paddle boarding, the dolphins returned and one jumped out of the water 20' away. No picture to prove it but the memory is awesome! We enjoyed a cold cut dinner on board, before returning to cruise in front of Mallory Square then circle around to watch the fantastic Key West sunset. This was a wonderful 5 hours on the water that I highly recommend.
Captain Pat, Heather, and Cole were a very knowledgeable and attentive crew. We enjoyed our snorkel to see many sponges and kayaking and resting on the sandbar. I would've loved to have more snorkel time! At the sandbar I had my own snorkel gear so I did some more and saw a small hammerhead shark!!
Captain Pat and Joey were very welcoming. Both have great personalities and had us laughing the entire excursion. The boat ride was calm and easy to walk around to get to the food, water and other beverages they had to offer. I would definitely recommend the afternoon trip. Captain Pat had the perfect location to watch the sunset. Joey was there to help with everything we needed and helped the newbies with the water toys. He was great with the girls joking with him. I gave this a rating 4 not for the quality of service because that was excellent, it is a 4 because it could improve on the mangrove location. It wasn't much of a tour just a little kayak to a little dead end Inlet where Joey gave a brief detail of the mangroves.

I need to be honest about this, I wasnt very impressed at all. The weather was not great for being on the water with the wind up around 20 mph and it was pretty chilly too. The water was choppy for snorkeling and once you got in the water, you were doomed to be cold in the wind when you got out. The boat drove us out for 30 minutes or so and then dropped us off. I expected to see something noteworthy since we drove out so far, but honestly we were snorkeling on a shallow mud flat with some garbage piles someone had illegally created to catch lobsters.... not a pretty reef or even anything worthwhile. We saw a few pale grey fish and some sponges covered in mud and thats about it. The kayaking portion was OK, but very short at least I thought so, I was hoping for a workout to get some exercise. On the plus size, my new companion and I make a great kayaking team and she even complimented that was fun because she didnt feel the need to kill me for paddling wrong lol... also I was very surprised by how well the kayaks tracked in the wind, much better than I had expected. The boat we went out on was also very stable and no one got seasick even in that wind, and I was impressed by that. Personally I was disappointed overall, but it was awesome to get out on the ocean and to see the real Key West and not the tourist trap downtown.
