Alright, boys and girls, tally up your responses and find out which trip is for you!

Mostly As – You’re an Ultimate Adventurer

Always up for action, adventure, and a good time, you’ve got a positive attitude and you love meeting new people. The Ultimate Adventure is your kind of trip! Spend the morning in Key West snorkeling the majestic coral reef aboard our 65′ catamaran before heading to Adventure Island where you’ll parasail, jet ski, kayak, and play on our inflatable water toys. Our spacious boat offers plenty of space to kick back and take a breather, but one of our activities will likely rouse you to action! Even better, breakfast, lunch, and all you can drink is included in this action packed day.

Mostly Bs – You’re an Island Adventurer

You’re inquisitive nature forces you to seek off the beaten path experiences. You love creating memories with the people you care for most, or even by yourself! Your idea of a good time is getting away from it all and possibly learning something new. The Island Adventure is calling you with snorkeling at some of Key West’s most hidden reefs. Finish the day with an exploration of the Gulf of Mexico’s backcountry where you’ll spot juvenile nurse sharks, conch shells, sea cucumbers, and more! Then kick back and relax at a sand bar sipping Coronas and watching the world go by. Snacks, lunch, and drinks are included on your laid back day in the sun.

If you’ve been to our Facebook page this month, then you’ve definitely noticed our new profile picture of a lush green mangrove tree taken by Stewart Foster, our fan of the month! We especially loved his picture because our brand new trip, the Island Adventure, explores the backcountry of the Gulf of Mexico filled with mangrove tree islands.

Adventure Island!

By Shayne Benowitz

I have to say, in the years I’ve worked at Fury, I’ve enjoyed celebrating major holidays–Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, New Year’s Day– by working on the water with the Fury crew. We’re a tight knit family, so a lot of times work doesn’t feel like work. On a special holiday or occasion, you want to be with the people who are closest to you, and in Key West that’s my Fury family.

When the catamaran pulls up to Adventure Island after a morning snorkeling at the reef, there’s always a moment of anticipation. The jet skis are lined up glistening in the sun, the iceberg is waiting to be scaled, and the water trampoline is ripe for bouncing. The parasail crew is standing by on their boats and kayaks are set up ready to be launched. Now, you’ve got one more thing to look forward to: The Wibit!

The winning sunset photo.

By Shayne Benowitz

Have you been to our facebook page lately? Well, if you have, I’m sure you’ve noticed our new profile pic winner Fury Fan Nicole Nash! It’s a glowing Key West sunset in all reds and oranges that looks like fire in the sky setting behind a cloud near an outcropping of mangroves. If there are two things to marvel over in Key West, the crystal clear water is one and the stunning sunset is definitely the other.

Every night as the sun dips into the western horizon, it paints the sky myriad different colors. After living in Key West nearly five years, it’s something that still takes my breath away. Nicole captured this beautifully in her snapshot taken from Mallory Square after a day spent with us on the Ultimate Adventure with her boyfriend Todd. (more…)
