Key West: Reef Snorkeling with Drinks and Sunset Option

About This Experience

This GetYourGuide listing is one booking page with three departure styles on the same Fury catamaran, which the listing describes as a 65-foot boat. You pick morning, afternoon or sunset when you reserve, and start times show at booking. The sunset trip is the one the listing calls Rum and Reggae. All of them leave from the Fury booth at Opal Key Resort & Marina on Front Street.

After check-in and a safety talk, the boat sails to a reef the captain chooses on the day. The listing says the snorkel locations depend on the weather and are at the captain’s discretion, so no reef is promised. Snorkel time is about 30 to 60 minutes, and all times are approximate. Crew members give instruction and you enter the waterby a stairway from the boat.

Alcohol is served after the snorkel stop: mimosas on the morning trip, margaritas in the afternoon and rum punch at sunset, along with beer and wine. Soda and water are also included. You need to be 21 with photo ID for alcohol, and the trip is not for non-swimmers.

Some low-star reviews of this listing are worth reading before you book. Reviewers mention rough or choppy water, a short time in the water, and boats with well over a hundred people on them, though the listing states no capacity. A few describe trips cancelled for weather with little notice, so give accurate contact details when you book and check your messages the morning you go.
