Description

Come aboard a modern high-tech glass bottom boat to explore the coral reefs around Key West and view the amazing variety of fish and marine life forms that make their homes in our local waters. Thanks to the protection of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, the marine environment around the island is exceptionally rich and unspoiled, and for over a century now, curious Key West visitors have been going out in glass-bottom boats to catch a glimpse of this underwater world. Our Key West Glass Bottom Boat Reef Eco Tour is your chance to live the tradition on a tour that is relaxing, educational, and fun for all ages.

Cruise nearly 7 miles offshore in a state-of-the-art 65-foot touring catamaran that delivers a smooth ride and stable viewing platform that cannot be matched by typical V-hull boats. The twin 45-degree angle aluminum hulls offer room for expansive viewing windows on both sides of the boat, with a design optimized to provide plenty of seating and continuous viewing for all passengers. Air-conditioning, a snack bar, and clean modern marine restrooms let you travel comfortably to see sights formerly known only to snorkelers and scuba divers. Live narration informs and entertains as numerous species of coral, colorful tropical fish, rays, sea turtles, and more pass by the windows. You never know what you might encounter because changing seasons and sea conditions make every trip unique.

While scuba diving and snorkeling are certainly great ways to visit the amazing underwater world of Key West, these sports are not suited for every island visitor. Modern glass-bottom tour boats have crystal-clear viewing panes placed at ideal angles to allow the widest view and the best opportunities for photography, while passengers stay dry and comfortable while seated in the air-conditioned viewing lounge. Depending on water conditions, visibility is very good and is actually quite similar to looking through a dive mask. In fact, a glass bottom boat can offer a better view of tropical fish and other marine life than snorkeling or diving. This is because the fish and other marine creatures are accustomed to the boat, and they behave naturally rather than fleeing or hiding as they often do when disturbed by the sounds and bubbles produced by a diver or snorkeler.

The Best Key West Glass Bottom Boat Tour

This is the original and only glass-bottom boat tour in Key West, offering visitors a taste of classic tradition while maintaining a sustainable, reef-friendly approach to delivering guests a great time and promoting education and reef conservation.
