Find Your Oasis
August means flat, calm water, infinite visibility, little to no wind and lots of heat. That’s why the Island Adventure is the ultimate Fury Water Adventure during the month of August. Join us on our half day Island Adventure excursion where you’ll snorkel at a secret spot along the reef in Key West’s backcountry, followed by kayaking through mangrove islands. The day isn’t complete until you’ve had time to relax on a remote sandbar. Snacks are also served throughout this intimate trip on one of our smaller power catamarans.
Cheers to Happy Hour
Not ready for the fun of your Key West water adventure to end? Step off the catamaran and head over to Conch Republic Seafood Company along the Historic Seaport for enticing happy hour specials and mouth-watering fresh seafood entrees.
