Chad, our senior catamaran mate, said it best Monday night aboard the Commotion, Fury’s official Key West Sunset Sail with Live Music, “In Key West, we are spoiled when it comes to live music.” It’s true, so many bars and restaurants are filled with the sounds of musicians day and night. (more…)

This summer has certainly chugged along at a quick speed. It’s hard to believe that this weekend is the Fourth of July! At Fury, we’re definitely gearing up for a busy and festive weekend.
As usual, our docks will be humming with parasailing every hour, snorkel trips, the Ultimate Adventure, and sunset sails. But Sunday night, we’ve got one additional trip in the lineup. What better place to view a spectacular firework display than on the water? (more…)

The Massacoustics have long had a strong following in Key West, performing regularly at Hogs Breath, the Songwriter’s Festival, and most recently aboard the Commotion on the Ocean. They headlined a sold out sunset earlier this month. I’ll admit, I’d heard the buzz about the Massacoustics for years, but I’d never seen them perform. I quickly realized what I’d been missing out on. (more…)
Happy Hour at the Conch Farm.

During the University of Georgia’s Spring Break week this year, my little brother and his girlfriend came down for a visit. They had a great time relaxing on Smathers Beach, partying on Duval, and of course, the highlight of their trip was the Ultimate Adventure and the Commotion on the Ocean. While they were here, I was reminded of just how important it is for college kids to make their dollar stretch, especially when it comes to alcohol.
It’s always a deal at Fury where all of our trips include complimentary beer, wine, and wine spritzers, not to mention margaritas on the Commotion and Reef & Rita afternoon snorkel trip, rum punch on the Rum & Reggae sunset snorkel, and champagne on all of our sunset cruises. Once you get off the boat, there’s plenty of deals at bars around town. You’ve just gotta know where to go! Here’s a guide to the cheapest drinks on the island. Enjoy! (more…)

It was another classic Fury concert party under the stars Friday night when Stephen Marley took the stage at Ocean Key House’s Sunset Pier. The bar aboard the Caribbean Fury was fully stocked, pizza was abundant, and the crew was ready to let loose to the sweet sounds of reggae music. (more…)

The 2010 Key West Regatta gets underway tomorrow morning with its first race. Over the weekend, teams of sailors and their sporty sailboats filled the island’s marinas with rows of masts swaying in the breeze.

Amongst the competitors are Olympians, America’s Cup winners, and World Champions. Each day is jam-packed with sponsored races from morning to afternoon. (more…)
