We booked 3 Mini-Catamarans while visiting Key West on the Margaritaville at Sea, Islander. We took a Lyft from the ship to the excursion, and back to the ship. It was a very fun way to see a different part of Key West, and stay cool in the heat. The tour felt safe, and the tour guide provided good information about the area.
My wife and I were booked on a tour with Capt. JoJo. He contacted us just prior to the tour to let us know that conditions were poor. Unfortunately we could not reschedule. I very much appreciated the update from him as he could just as easily said nothing and the trip would not have been enjoyable. Honesty from a business man is why people return for your business. Of we come back again I would definitely rebook with him.
We had an amazing time on the Mini Catamaran Eco Tour! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and it was such a fun way to experience the waters and mangroves around Key West. A huge shout-out to JoJo—he was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does, and his enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. He shared interesting facts about the local wildlife and ecosystem while making sure everyone stayed safe and had a great time. If you’re looking for a unique adventure in Key West, I highly recommend this tour. Be sure to ask for JoJo if you can—you won’t be disappointed!
Wow, what a cool way to cruise on the ocean and tributaries. The “cat-boat” was fun to drive, had a little pep for a small craft, and Captain JoJo was awesome. We didn’t see any marine life cruising the mangroves, but the 2 hour tour was amazing and a MUST DO!
1st, note if in a cruise ship, you'll need to Uber or find other means to get to stock island for the tour, it's worth every cent, we didn't inquire at first had a 9am booking that the Company was able to change to 11:45. Our 2hr tour turned into almost 3hrs, Captain JoJo, a wonderful instructor and guide, made everyone in our 4ppl party feel comfortable, boats are a blast. Sun was intense, do not forget the SPF. We definitely recommend.
We had an amazing experience on the mini catamarans. The guide was awesome and ensured we had a great time. Even learned a bit of history which was really cool. Anyone can drive these as it is super easy to learn. I highly recommend this excursion.
John was great! We had a lot of fun and he was an amazing Captain!
John was an amazing guide! Incredibly smart, knowledgeable and easy to learn from. Luckily we booked at 9am and were the only boat riders for the scheduled tour so we got to do and see so much (island, sandbar, open water, channels, etc)!! I highly recommend this experience for leisure boating with a little adventure! The sights were beautiful and something you cant get from on shore. Details: 35 year old couple celebrating 10 year anniversary and looking for a fun/different activity.
Capt JoJo was great and we enjoyed crushing the ocean and mangroves. Cat Boats were a blast to drive!
It was a very pleasant and relaxing tour. Amazing instructions by tour guide. Both communication signals and water safety was thoroughly explained.
