“Great experience. We saw around 15 dolphins! Our captain was knowledgeable and funny. Highly recommend!”
We are very lucky that so many days here in Key West look exactly like the beautiful photos and video you see on our website & other marketing materials. However, you should be aware that all of our water adventures are outdoors and influenced by Mother Nature. Many days underwater visibility is 80+ feet and teeming with sea life; others are not. Though we hope that every day is perfect, we are not in control of the wind, waves, clouds, rain or underwater sea life. If we are aware of any concerning factors regarding conditions, we will make an announcement before your trip departs. At that time, you may elect to take the tour, reschedule or receive a refund.
Climb aboard Fury’s Key West Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Tour for an aquatic journey to observe the grace & beauty of our resident Key West dolphins. Take our fast powered catamaran on an adventure into the shimmering turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Together, we’ll responsibly watch bottlenose dolphins as they swim, play, feed and do what comes naturally. Then, we’ll head to the Key West wildlife refuge where we’ll snorkel along the shallow backcountry. Fury is the only company in the Florida Keys to have the prestigious “Dolphin SMART” certification – a National program that protects and promotes the responsible observance of dolphins.
After a day on and in the water, we’ll begin our ride back to the dock. Enjoy complimentary cold beer and chilled wine on our morning and afternoon trips.
Fury also offers a Sunset Combo trip including complimentary champagne and the perfect view of the sunset.

We cannot guarantee that we will see dolphins each day, but we do have a 98% success rate of seeing dolphins on our dolphin watching tours. This is because the dolphins are non-migratory. They are in Key West year-round and our captains are very familiar with where to find them. No, you will not swim with the dolphins. The dolphins that we are viewing are wild. We will watch these protected dolphins in their natural habitat. Fury is a voluntary member of Dolphin SMART, so our trip promotes responsible viewing of the dolphin in their natural habitat.
Yes, we will take you to the backcountry in the Gulf of Mexico on this trip. You will snorkel patch coral and sponge gardens with the possibility of Spotting Stingrays, Juvenile Fish, Sea Fans, Sea Rods, Sponges, and Isolated Coral Formations.
You will get to dolphin watch for one hour and snorkel for one hour.
Our experienced and CPR certified Fury crew will give you detailed instructions as you sail out to the Living Coral Reef. They will go over the best practices and safe snorkel procedures for your day at the reef.
We will provide you with a mask, snorkel and buoyancy compensator and fins for snorkeling. You are more than welcome to bring your own gear if you wish.
Wetsuits are available seasonally for a fee of $12 per suit (cash or credit).
