Spring Break 2012!

By Shayne Benowitz

So long Valentine’s Day, hello Key West Spring Break! Our season really kicks into high gear starting now with an influx of college kids pouring into Key West from all over the country. The earliest revelers usually come from northeastern schools with students on their February mid-winter break. When the Florida schools get here in March, there’s no mistaking it. It’s a serious party!

At Fury, we like to get into the Key West Spring Break spirit too! We know that money can be tight when you’re still in school, so we’re offering loads of discounts to college coeds. We know the Duval Crawl is on your list, but don’t miss the real fun aboard Fury.

First of all, let’s hear it for the girls! We’re happy to offer 50% off on our most popular trips for the ladies including Key West snorkeling and sunset sailing. With your discount, that means you’re paying right around $20 for a great time on the water. It’s your choice, opt for a three hour snorkel excursion seven miles offshore with all you can drink beer and wine. Or, enjoy a two hour harbor cruise with free-flowing beer, wine, and champagne and watch the sun sink into the western horizon. Don’t forget to bring your IDs. We’ll be checking!

Now, gentlemen, don’t feel left out just because the ladies get all the perks. We just tipped you off to where all the savvy girls will be during Spring Break. On board with us! Plus, we’re extending our $20 off discount on the Ultimate Adventure to you, as well. That’s right! Everyone who’s in the know receives $20 off our most popular all-in-one adventure, the Ultimate Adventure. This trip includes breakfast and lunch, Key West snorkeling, parasailing, Key West jet skiing, and kayaking. It’s pretty much the best way you can spend a day in Key West.

Finally, because we love our fans so much, we’re offering 10% off of all of our trips to everyone. You heard it here first! It pays to follow the Fury Girl Blog and stay connected on Facebook and Twitter. Which trips do I recommend? Well, if you haven’t been here since last Spring Break then you might not know about all of our new offerings. The Island Adventure is my absolute favorite new trip. The Dolphin Watch & Snorkel excursion is a real treat, and for those of you who love going fast you’ve got to try our jet ski tour around the island.

The options for fun on the water at Fury Key West are virtually unlimited. Come play during your Key West Spring Break. It’s our favorite time of the year!

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.
