Ballast Key on the way to Woman Key for kayaking.

This is officially my new favorite Fury trip! If you’re dying for a beautiful and relaxing day on the water, you absolutely must experience the Island Adventure. Meredith and I hopped on board yesterday for the 3:30pm trip with Captain Anna and her crew Scott and Anthony along with eleven other passengers.

Lately, moon jellyfish have been abundant at the reef, which is not uncommon this time of year. I personally find the jellies enchanting to watch as they drift slowly with their purple and pink tentacles, but when there’s too many in the water they can definitely be a nuisance. No one wants to get stung! Our captains have gotten creative in finding alternative places to snorkel where there aren’t too many jellyfish. (more…)

I’m not going to play favorites. I couldn’t! We have so many amazing pictures posted every single day on our Facebook page and all of our monthly winners have been extraordinary. But, I have to say, I was absolutely blown away by this photo that Tammy & Dwayne Taylor captured on our brand new Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Adventure.

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.

Reef Express returning to port.

With the expansion of our Fury fleet, we’ve created an entirely new trip that’s going to make it hard for you to decide how you snorkel with us. Our new Double Dip Snorkel Adventure gets you to the reef in express time allowing you for twice the amount of snorkeling!

The thing I’ve loved most about working for Fury is that some days, I get to go snorkeling at the reef three times: first on the morning snorkel trip, then on the afternoon Reef & Ritas snorkel trip, and finally aboard the Rum & Reggae snorkel/sunset combo package. To me, there’s no better feeling than diving into that crystal clear water and exploring what’s underneath. As a lifeguard, I’m happy to be the last one back on the boat! (more…)

I am very excited to share with you a brand new trip! You may or may not know, but we’ve recently acquired three small catamarans and we’re proud to present three new boutique eco-trips to our water sports menu! Today, I’m going to give you the scoop on the brand new Island Adventure. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
