All tours and
rentals are near Key West but off the beaten path.
Our locals offer some of the best scenery, habitat diversity and abundance
of birds and marine animals in the Florida Keys.
Chosen for all levels of paddlers, you will be largely sheltered from
the wind on shallow waters. No big waves. Almost
all trips finish with the wind at your back. Please call for directions.
We
also offer…
What
we do not offer
Tours
or rentals for cruise ship customers.
Cruise ships
are a leading cause of damage and death to marine
ecosystems worldwide. The reef ecosystem near Key
West has been largely destroyed in the last decade by deteriorating
water quality. Cruise ships have greatly contributed to this problem.
If you care about our oceans think twice before you cruise!
Snorkeling
/ Kayak combination tours.
You
will see most interesting marine life in three feet of water or less.
Deeper channels have less showy species and harbor delicate and often
stinging invertebrates. It’s best to view these animals from
afar. However, we will be happily rent you a tandem kayak
to snorkel from. Its stability allows easy
water entry and exit and plenty of space for gear. We provide the
dive flag, anchor and cooler only. As with other rentals you will
paddle the Boca Chica area approx. 2 miles from Key West.
Spear fishing and shell collecting are not permitted.
