Captain Rick & mates Liber & Brandon were the best -- friendly, attentive, & professional.

One passenger fell due to the extreme waves. Everyone put in their gear and started snorkeling, many people were struggling due to the waves and I was one of them. I got back on the boat 5 mins after struggling with the waves. For the next hour, I was extremely sea sick on the side of the boat. Many people proceeded to get back to the boat after me with bad sea sickness. Many snorkelers had to be rescued with a flotation devices. 90% of people were back on the boat before the time was up. I'm very been on this trip with this company before and had no problems. The water then was calm. I don't think it was safe to allow people to snorkeling in those wave conditions.

Captain Brad and Scuba Joe made it a Party that was both FUN and Safe!! I'd give them ten stars if I could. We will be back and do it All Again!! The boat pulls out from a gorgeous resort and we visited 2 Famous Reefs. Take a look at my pictures! One reef is known has the #1 Reef for snorkeling in the World !! I can't say enough how safe it was (little kids were snorkeling) and the fun on boat was nonstop with music jokes and laughter! For people that never snorkeled before, everyone loved it. Some on the boat were repeat attendees. I can tell you the experience was so good, I want the exact same location, boat and crew again! Thank you Captain Brad, Scuba Joe and another fellow, Nate, who was helping the divers. Amazing experience!

Even though…read morethe weather wasn't completely on our side, Kathy and Heidi truly went above and beyond to make sure our time on the water was the best it could possibly be. One completely unintentional and unexpected highlight was getting to interact with dolphins as they swam right around our boat. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Kathy immediately recognized how special this moment could be for us and she made sure to capitalize on it in a way only a true captain could. She made sure we got the opportunity to fully take this in...something we will never forget! From start to finish, they were thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Every detail was considered, and they took such great care to make sure the kids had the absolute best time. It was clear how much they genuinely care about creating meaningful, memorable experiences for families. We couldn't recommend Family Fun Boat Tour Co more highly. If you're visiting Islamorada, especially with kids, this is an absolute must. We will definitely be back!

I highly recommend the night tour! They have the availability of LED single and tandem kayaks as…read morewell as paddleboards. We met at Harry Harris Park in Mile marker 93. If you're not familiar with the keys it's a little hard to find the location, but Jen (our guide) was beyond helpful and was always quick to answer my phone calls. You'll be parking your car behind her set up of paddleboards. There's no parking fee and I'd say it's a safe place to park. We left our cars there and nothing happened not to mention she left her boards there as well. I would recommend wearing sandals and shorts since you'll be walking through a few puddles. If you get cold easily wear a light sweater and bring some mosquito repellant. She also does a quick instructional session for those who are new, but in terms of conditions the water is very still and shallow throughout most of the tour so this is perfect for newbies. She's got a good eye so she found tons of crabs, barracudas, nurse sharks, jellyfish, and so many lobsters!! You get to go through mangroves as well as between houses and a little out into the ocean. We went after it rained a little and the sky became crystal clear with stars and the moon. Just absolutely beautiful! The price is $60 for the night tour per board doesn't matter tandem/single kayaks or paddleboards. She can also rent out and deliver to you the boards for $40 for 24 hours which is crazy, because 90% of places charge you $30 for 1-3 hours max. Double check me on the price though! If you do the night tour just remember to call ahead of time. We got lucky and called and went the same day where someone already scheduled for the night, but if they don't have reservations ahead of time they won't have someone available to do the tour.

We found a seat under the blue tent next to the dock which is used to stage the guess, they start boarding 15 minutes before the departure time and it's really a simple task even though they still manually check-in each guest as you board the vessel verses simply scanning the QR Code on the ticket or app. The 65' Catamaran is clean and spacious and the crew is extremely friendly, the tour guides are very knowledgeable and bubbly so they make every effort to make it fun. You can bring your non-alcoholic beverages on board since they no longer operate the snack bar, they do have (2) heads at the rear of the boat (restrooms). Once the boat leaves the dock it's a slow ride through the mangrove lined canal to the open water, the no wake zone continues until you pass the last navigational buoys, then he kick it up to about 18 knots until he approaches the reef I think that ride was about 25 minutes, it a nice relaxing ride, the interior cabin is air conditioned but the real adventure is on the open air top deck where the breeze is refreshing and you get the real outdoorsy experience. Once the boat arrives at the reef the captain brings the vessel to an idle and the viewing wells turn crystal clear exposing another world, the water depth over the coral reef is between 10' - 25' and the tour guide explains the viewing well numbering system so you know where to look while she explains what the boat is crossing over - she is very knowledgeable and explains everything you see - all the colorful fish and sea-life which is abundant as well as the coral types and objects that rest on the bottom. The tour runs about 2.5 hours and they take no short cuts so you get the total experience. They allow just enough time to get you back to the dock on time and honestly as much as I enjoyed it I was ready for it to be over, the ride back was not as exciting as the ride out and I found myself looking at my watch often - I thought it was a good value and worth the time but once is probably enough for me - the boat was about half filled so it wasn't crowded with about a third being kids and there's no doubt they loved it...

What a nice ride! We were afraid the weather wouldn't let us go! Thanks Mother Nature!…read moreEverything was on time. Clean boat, pleasant guides! In fact, the guide who described the plants & aquatic life while we were cruising over the reef was amazing! Knowledgeable & quick to identify what she saw & its location. They gave lots of info on avoiding seasickness & I didn't see anyone suffering. We took a camera but there wasn't a need. Cell phones are enough. I used my binoculars & only used them a bit to see birds in the mangroves. You can take plastic bottled drinks on board. You might not want to wear a hat. We stood on the front deck & it was perfect. It's with the $36 ticket for a 2.5 hr. excursion. Masks required inside.
