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.

How great is this picture?! Seriously. As a longtime parasail mate at Fury, I’m glad it took the prize this month. The shot truly captures the excitement of soaring 300 feet above Key West’s crystal aquamarine waters. Don’t you love the expression on Marc’s friend Christian’s face and the body language? How much fun is he having?! I wish I was the one strapped in next to him enjoying the refreshing breeze and breathtaking views.

Sweet, sweet summertime. The days of summer are waning as Labor Day Weekend, the last hurrah, is approaching. It’s been an incredible season at Fury in Key West. The weather’s been gorgeous, our guests have enjoyed a host of brand new trips and boats, and we’ve been busy! It’s also been an incredible time on our Facebook and Twitter pages. We’ve hit the 6,000 mark for “likes” on Facebook and every day there’s a ton of interaction with our fans as they post vacation pictures and talk about their trip. It’s almost as good as the real thing day in and day out on the docks at the Westin, the Ocean Key House, and the Historic Seaport.

The couple who parasails together, stays together! Congratulations Kim & Ronnie!
Recently on the parasail boat we’ve had some guests celebrating special occasions. I love talking to our passengers and hearing about what brought them to Key West. For many, it’s just the annual family vacation or a break from school. For others, though, it’s birthdays, wedding anniversaries, family reunions, or an annual girls trip! I love the idea of traveling for a special occasion. It makes life that much more of a celebration! (more…)
Girls! What's that swimming behind you?

The weather lately makes me happy to be a Floridian. Highs in the low eighties, lots of sunshine, mild breeze… It’s absolute perfection for spending the day on the water. My favorite thing to do, of course! I worked on the Fury Flyer earlier this week with Captain Marius. We were busy right from the start with passengers from two Carnival cruise ships. It’s the tail end of Spring Break and the majority of our passengers were families from cold climates like Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin soaking up a little bit of sunshine and warm weather.
