★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 104 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Pilot a two-person mini catamaran through Key West’s backcountry with a local guide such as JoJo, Nina, or John. Expect mangrove channels, sandbar stops, quiet islands, swimming, and wildlife possibilities. The boats are fun and stable, but you should be ready to steer through waves.

“Our guide, Jo Jo, was excellent. Victor was not good. We booked through Viator and everything was fine until we were three minutes from this excursion when Viator called and said they were canceling our excursion. I told the person this was unacceptable as we were almost there already and the Uber costs us $20 each way. The guides at the location were nice and said 3 of the machines were broken down and they informed Viator the previous day. Jo Jo came and said we could still go on the lone working two person catamaran and he would lead with a jet ski if we'd like to. We agreed…”

Skipper was great at educating and reassuring them about the jellyfish (there were quite a few!) and everyone welcomed jumping into the sea and paddle boarding after sunbathing on the boat. Highly recommend, we would do it again as it was a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours and well worth the money. Thanks for a fab trip!”

“The driver refused to pick us up from the agreed location. The website said that there will be 60 people at most but there were over 100. There was no national park. We moved with the boat for 20 minutes and stayed on this place for 1 hour and then returned again. Snorkeling was a joke - barely any corals or fish. No one dropped us back off.”
