key west snorkel boat
 

I will be there for one day on a cruise ship. Any suggestions for a snorkel boat?

I went two weeks ago and used Subtropic. You can find it at www.subtropic.com. It was well-run. The only complaint I would have is that the water where we went wasn't as crystal clear as the Caymans, but I guess the company can't help that. We went to two locations, and other company boats were out there as well, but it didn't have a crowded feel. The trip was $37. I bought my own snorkle, though, for $12. I don't know how well they clean those things! Also, if you tend to get seasick, I would recommend taking medicine before you leave. The trip out seemed to bother people, and at the second site, I was the only one to go in the water! Have fun!!

We like Fury Catamarans.<BR>(But only if you like a party atmosphere along with your snorkeiing :)<BR>They do have a website.<BR>We use them every year in Mexioco also.<BR>They have nice boats they keep in good condition and they are safety oriented, but like to have a good time.

I was very disappointed the last time I went snorkeling off Key West. The visibility, condition of the coral, and number of fish have decreased dramatically.

I recommend Floridays...they dock at the Hyatt, which is just down Front Street from where you'll dock. There are two snorkels daily...one in the morning, another in the afternoon. Floridays limits the number of passengers - unlike catamarans that pack folks in like sardines.
