About Reef, Wildlife & Weather

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. 

Fury's Key West Dolphin Watch & Snorkel Tour

Dolphin Watch Sunset Key West

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.

Sunset tour times available seasonally, March – August

FAQS

  • ARE WE GUARANTEED TO SEE DOLPHINS AND DO WE SWIM WITH THEM?

    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.

  • IS THE SNORKELING DIFFERENT FROM THE STANDARD FURY REEF SNORKELING TRIPS?

    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

  • HOW MUCH TIME DO WE GET FOR EACH ACTIVITY?

    You will get to dolphin watch for approximately one hour and snorkel for approximately one hour.

  • DO YOU PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SNORKEL?

    Our experienced and CPR certified Fury crew will give you detailed instructions as you cruise to the backcountry.  They will go over the best practices and safe snorkel procedures for your day at the reef.

  • WHAT EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED?

    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.

  • DO YOU PROVIDE WETSUITS?

    Wetsuits are available seasonally with limited sizing (cash or credit).

  • WHAT WILL WE SEE ON THE TOUR?

    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.

  • IS THERE SHADE ON THE BOAT?

    Yes, there is a portion of shaded seating on the boat; however, it is a very good idea to wear reef safe sunscreen and sun protective clothing.

  • DO YOU HAVE EASY ACCESS IN AND OUT OF THE OCEAN?

  • DO I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SWIM?

    Yes. Fury will provide you with snorkel instruction and equipment, but you must know how to swim to participate in any snorkel adventure.

Guests are also always welcome to relax and enjoy the amenities aboard our spacious catamarans, during the snorkel portion of any tour.

    All participants must sign a liability waiver to participate in snorkeling and other adventures.

  • CAN I BRING MY PET WITH ME?

    The guest requiring the service animal must be in possession of the animal at all times. Due to the nature of Fury tours, guest and service animal may be required to remain on the boat for the entirety of the tour. This is to ensure the guest’s safety as well as that of the service animal, Key West wildlife, other guests, captain and crew.

  • DO YOU CHASE DOLPHINS WITH YOUR BOAT?

    No, never! Fury WaterAdventures  proudly practices the Dolphin SMART program developed by NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries . The Dolphin SMART program promotes responsible stewardship of wild dolphins in coastal waterways, as well as educating and encouraging responsible observation of wild dolphins. 

     

    SMART in this context means 

    S– Stay back 60 yards

    M– Move away cautiously if dolphins seem agitated

    A– Always put your engines in neutral

    R– Refrain from feeding, touching, or swimming with a wild dolphin

    T– Teach others to be Dolphin SMART. 

  • WHY DO DOLPHINS SEEK INTERACTION WITH BOATS?

    Due to their playful nature, dolphins can often be found swimming alongside boats. Pods are attracted to the current created by our ships and enjoy interacting with it. Dolphins also enjoy using the waves created by boats to increase their swimming distance and speed. Oftentimes, a dolphin may even be spotted feeding on fish that are swept up by the waves of the boat.
